Hi guys, I have just ordered some silkies, 4 chicks (1 white and 3 blue) that are 6 weeks old, and 3 chicks (2 white and 1 blue) that are just a few days old. I'm very happy about them, and can't wait for them to arrive. But I have a little problem, I need to make coop that will be good for...

Exactly like these, their colonies are under the roosts. I don't have any pictures. Now, because it's pretty cold outside, they are not active, so they don't reproduce. But when I burnt them with some kinda blazing torch, I achieved biggest success in removing them. I will stay with this method. 😁

Hi, honestly, they are pretty hard to tame, and they are expensive, so i don't think they suit you😁

Ohhhh, they are very cute.

Hi guys, I have been rising chickens for about 5 or 6 years now. I have been constantly having trouble with red mites, there is no chemical or anything else that I didn't use to get rid of them, but no success. Last year I tried to burn them with something like this I was able to remove them...

Hi guys, I have some booted bantams, I really love them. Lately i was wondering how would look mix of booted bantams and silkies. Did anybody try this before, if you had, can you post pictures, I'm very curious.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I brood inside of a bilding, it's not isolated, so it's cold inside, but it protect chicks from predators. Temperatures are around 5-10°C at daytime, and under 0°C at night, outside the building. It's maybe 7-8 degrees warmer inside of whatever temperature is...

My favourite breed is Mandarin duck, they are not very friendly, but they are magically beautiful. I had a pair, but someone stole them last year, because they are very expensive here. I have Muscovies and some mixbreed domestic now. They are both lovely.

Same thing happened to my hen. Dog bit off large piece of flash under her left wing. I just cleaned it with some hydrogen peroxide 3% and just let it recover. She is alright now, hope it will be same with you hen.

Hi, maybe it's problem with components in indubator, it could be heater or thermostat. You should technically check you incubator. Or it could be due to cold weather. What temperature is the room that your incubator is placed?

Thank you guys!

You should see is there something in her beak and nostrils that is blocking air and making it difficult for her to breathe.

Don't get me wrong, but I don't see problem here, only for wings (it could be due to stress), she is probably not laying because she is making "pause" or due to cold weather. Hope everything will be fine.
