    My apologies for the less than great photos. It was make those stretches that roos make when they crow, only no noise was coming out. I hope it's a hen, we can't have roos

    My hen is lonely :( her friend died. What do I do?

    So, about 4 months ago we went to the fair. We came home with an adult hen of some sort that is orange and speckled, and will stay tiny, and two baby Silkies- one black, and one white. The Black one made it 2 weeks, then passed. The White Silkie was now the size of the hen, and they got along...

    Any thoughts on what the little ones are? They didn't have an ID... It's pretty cold here... I went outside and covered the cage up with blankets, put a heat light over them, gave them fresh food and water, and they're asleep

    I felt sorry for them... I could've gotten the pretties, but I just felt that these guys wouldn't find a home cause of their appearance. They're funny, and I'm sure they'll be gorgeous once they fill in! Pix as promised- Sorry for the bad pix, I'm outta batteries for my camera...so I got to...

    Let's talk about Silkies!

    Well, we have plenty chickens, but I've just always wanted a Silkie! So I have a few concerns/questions about them! 1) Are they temperamental? How's their attitude? Can I hold them? 2) How big --or how many lbs-- to they weigh/get when adult size? 3) Are they egg layers? 4) Are they impossible...
