    Buff orpington bantam+silkie rooster=????

    I have two Buff Orpington bantam hens and one silkie rooster together. when the chicks come, if they do, will they be a mix variety of Orpingtons and Silkies, or will they be Silkie Orpington cross? i guess some would be Orpingtons and some Silkies but I'm not sure. does anyone know?

    i have 17 chickens, 10 of them i recently got at an auction on the 18th. they all stopped laying about 5 days ago. (the ones that i ha before the auction) i am wondering if the newcomers are causing the others to stop laying, or if they aren't laying where they should... any ideas?

    One Chick Not Doing Well

    is she active? put electrolites in her water and if she is falling asleep while standing she could have a serious problem. check her areas around and on her butt and make sure there are no entrails hanging of showing. also check there for blood . make sure the box is always as clean as can be!
