    Could I add a couple Silkies to my flock of 9 five month old Buff Orpington pullet/hens?

    My daughter texted me a couple days ago asking if I wanted any Silkies. Her friend has some (I'm not even sure of age) and wanted to know if anyone wanted any, I assume to buy. I told my daughter no. But I have been thinking about it since she asked...lol. Would they get along with the size...

    One of our hens is in the nest box

    We noticed that there were only 8 of our chickens in the run this morning when we went out to check on them. Found the missing hen, "Buffalo"in one of the nest boxes. They are all 19 1/2 weeks old. So I watched for her to come out of the coop and went and checked the boxes and look what I...

    Chicken Coop Camera System

    We got a camera to put inside the coop from Amazon. We really love it so far...we've had it for over 2 months now. The brand is Dekco...it pans, tilts, has night vision, has a strobe light, siren, audio (so you can talk to them but it scares the crap out of them when we tried this...

    When should I stop using medicated start and grow for 3 month old buff orpingtons...

    Thank you all! We just went to TSC intending to get the same feed only non medicated and try the pellets. Guess what...sold out🙄 So, we ended up getting an all flock pellet with 20% protein and got 50 pounds of oyster shell. I was happy because the feed was cheaper...then as hubby was...

    When should I stop using medicated start and grow for 3 month old buff orpingtons...

    Thank you for your responses! Originally we just thought, based on feed names, that we would just change to layer when they were going to lay. But after reading everything I think we're going with a little higher protein feed and oyster shells. What are your preferences for crumbles vs...

    When should I stop using medicated start and grow for 3 month old buff orpingtons...

    Our buff orpingtons (we think all pullets) are a little over 3 months old. We need to go get more feed in the next couple of days. They are currently on medicated start and grow crumbles. Should I switch them to non medicated start and grow crumbles or pellets...an all flock...with or without...

    Pullet or roo 10 week old buff orpingtons

    I got some more pics today. We put colored bands on their legs to be able to tell them apart. It was hard to get the pictures so I hope they're good enough...the first two pics are of the one we are wondering if it's a rooster...we are calling it "Big Guy" regardless, although the rest of the...
