    Silkie laying on back, conscious, but unable to move

    From observing them when they moved in until now, they really don't peck them nearly as much if at all. The adults are actually hanging out with them and cuddling them at night. This is going on week 3 or 4 of them being in the large coop. Are any of you familiar with Mareks? I've been doing...

    Silkie laying on back, conscious, but unable to move

    They around 4 months old, and I hatched them all from my own silkies eggs. It very well could be the food cause none of thus started until after I moved them

    Silkie laying on back, conscious, but unable to move

    They eat Ranch Pro 15% egg pellets. I haven't seen any mold anywhere in their coop or run

    Silkie laying on back, conscious, but unable to move

    Over the past week and a half, I have lost 4 of my young Silkies all to the same thing. The first three I thought it was them smothering themselves in the box I have for them to go into at night. (backstory, I had them in a brooder, then I moved them to a small coop outside with my other...

    Best Coop Fence

    Best Coop Fence

    Okay, that makes me feel better! I was looking at maybe getting 1/2" hardwire cloth to go around the bottom instead of the wire the coop comes with. I don't want to go electric because of having little kids who love going up the chickens as much as I do. And we want to tarp the whole top to keep...

    Best Coop Fence

    That's where I was looking at it on was Amazon. We will be putting on a cement slab, so I don't need to worry so much about animals digging under it. I'm just worried of them breaking through it. How have you liked yours overall? Are they worth the investment? I've looked at so many of them and...

    Best Coop Fence

    I'm looking into getting this coop or something similar. Currently I only have a dog kennel that we converted into a coop but my addiction needs needs more space! My question is, what is the best sort of fencing I could get to use instead of the cheaper stuff it comes with? My neighbor has lost...
