    Welcome... to Chicken Park

    It's my favorite when my hens do that. My Biscuie girl can't help herself when I bed down. Hops up every time 🥰

    Recessive Cuckoo/Barred genes?

    Thank you!! Now that my wheels are spinning I have an idea of some of the possibilities. I don't have a "goal" in mind but knowing how the genes interact is so helpful. "Your frizzles carry 1 gene for frizzle as it's a (co-)dominant gene, if it's 2 genes I think it's called a frazzle and they...

    Recessive Cuckoo/Barred genes?

    I am experimenting currently with different color combinations and currently have a Cuckoo Satin silkie Roo with 2 frizzle mottled silkie showgirls, a buff silkie(normal silkie feathering) and a partridge frizzle silkie.

    First time incubating silkie eggs

    If you have silkies eggs and standard eggs in the same incubator do you still lockdown at that time or do you wait?

    First time incubating silkie eggs

    Following because I also put my first batch of silkies in for the season, I started mine on 3/13 from my own hens. Last year we had low success with shipped eggs and my hens are finally old enough. Good luck can't wait to see how we do!

    Broody hen rejecting chick(injured new chick)

    She’s still hanging in there, still a bit unsteady and walking with its wings out a bit. Drinking a little and trying to eat but not filling it’s crop so I’ve given it some raw yolk(it’s helped my weak chicks in the past) and she ate a few bites, perked up for a while and laid back down. I’m...

    Broody hen rejecting chick(injured new chick)

    I’m looking for a little advice now on this little injured chick. It was doing fine, up, eating and drinking. I noticed a few poops but not a ton. Now today it’s really quiet, having difficulty standing, walking backwards(more like shuffling) and not eating. I got it to drink a bit but it was...

    That’s what I’m doing now, I appreciate the feedback, I’ll let her keep her single chick and hopefully the rest of these babies hatch soon so the injured chick isn’t so lonely.
