That is what I’m worried about. We did do a slow introduction through the chicken wire and everything actually went well for a while. We are suddenly experiencing this out of the blue and I’m getting concerned for my one very timid girl. She isn’t doing too well standing up for herself so I’m...

Yes, I did expect them to go through this to establish pecking order. I’m just worried about one of the new chickens because she isn’t standing up for herself. She is visibly scared every time she is approached by one of the girls and they’re feeding off of it. I’m just hoping she doesn’t become...

Thank you! Yes, we did do a slow introduction and the chickens did not care about the newbies through the chicken wire at all. We slowly introduced them into the coop and hadn’t run into issues until this morning. The coop and run are a pretty good size. They have about 100sq ft of run space and...

Hello, I just added 2, 3 month old pullets to my existing 3 month old flock. One of the new chickens is being bullied by 2 of my girls. They aren’t being extremely aggressive, just pecking a little bit and chasing them back into the coop every time they come out. They do have access to food and...

Looking for a couple 3-4 month old hens to add to my flock. In the Plymouth county, Massachusetts area.

Hi everybody, I am in search of a couple of 3-4 month old hens. I ended up with 2 roosters and would like to add more hens to my existing flock. I am located in the Plymouth, MA area and would prefer somebody close by to avoid a stressful transport for the birds. Thank you in advance!

I have glass around my yard too. It’s everywhere. Luckily it hasn’t caused any issues as of yet but my girls always dig it up somehow

Oh my god what an awful experience that must’ve been!! I love my silkie dearly I would be devastated. Glad shes okay

Very true. I want to be able to handle them throughout the day so if an emergency needs my attention. I may be able to do it the same day instead of waiting for the vet to open the next day

Good idea!! Thanks!

Agreed.. that is my biggest concern. I want to be able to pick them up and check on them to see if they’re eating enough and don’t have any medical issues and if a problem did arise I’d like to be able to treat it.

Thank you!!

Hello, I’m a relatively new chicken owner and would love some tips on making my chickens a bit more friendly. I have a silkie that loves to be held and follows me around the yard. The rest want nothing to do with me. I have 2 Wyandotte’s, 4 silkies, 1 easter egger and 1 Rhode Island Red. Does...

I am also thinking 4 may be a roo. It is actually the smallest out of the 4 but it is also the least friendly so I go back and forth.

Hi everyone! i am new to this website and new to owning chickens. I have 4 silkies, 2 Wyandotte’s, 1 EE, and 1 Rhode Island Red. They are all about 3 months old. Everybody is doing very well and getting along just fine. I am just curious if any of my silkies may be roosters. thank you in advance...
