    Wyoming Unite!!!!

    I am surprised that there is not more people on this forum from Wyoming. I know a ton of people that have chickens around the area so figured there would be more. This is such a good forum.

    Silkie thread!

    I have four and none of them crow like my other roos, but they are very talkative and two of them puff up and bump each other when they are out playing in the yard. I get consistently three eggs a day, sometimes four which seemed like a lot for two silkies. I don't have any pictures, but i can...

    Silkie thread!

    This may be some stupid questions that might have been answered, but I couldn't find any tips so thought I would ask. First, do Silkie roos crow like a normal roo or is it a different sound. Second, does anyone have tips on sexing Silkies? I know that they are hard to sex. These are not young...

    Is this lice or mites?

    Does anyone have a picture of what lice or mites looks like. The picture looks like my chicken (I think it was from the roo so we moved him away from his girls). How long does it take for feathers to grow back in when they look like this?? Is there anything to help feathers grow back in, or is...

    Broody Hen and Chicks

    Not sure if I am putting this in the right section but here it goes.. Ok, so can anyone give me tips about expecting chicks from a broody hen? I got a feather up my butt and decided that I would let my little broody hen sit on some eggs, thinking that they most likely wouldn’t hatch and she...

    So confused with Cornish Chickens

    I am really confused with Cornish chickens. We are wanting to raise some Cornish (because of the fast growth rate and they were recommended as good meat birds) chickens for the freezer as well as a 4-H project meat pen. As I was looking into how to raise these I have been getting confused with...

    Marking Eggs

    HI, this may be a stupid question. But what does everyone use to mark their hatching eggs? I am not sure if you can use a sharpie, because they are not non-toxic? Just want to see what everyone uses when marking their eggs. Thanks

    Silkie thread!

    I am so excited that I found this thread. I have a lot of reading to do to catch up but wanted to say hello to everyone. Out of all my chickens my little Silkies are my favorite. For such a small little bird they are so feisty and funny. One of my Silkies cracked me up when I was cleaning...
