    Bare Bottom and dry skin

    Honestly I'm not sure on how to sex chicks without a cockadoodle door especially silkies. We were thinking since it's super docile and easy to handle and my roo is not. If it is a roo I can keep it as long as it doesnt attack us all

    Bare Bottom and dry skin

    Bare Bottom and dry skin

    Coop and Run

    I've read a few threads on what is needed to build a run and coop but I still have some questions. My first one is that I have a metal shed that is 10'x14' with only one door, how could I effectively ventilate the coop while holding its integrity? Second, my boyfriend suggested installing a...

    Wry neck and other treatable conditions

    Hey all, so I was at my local TSC the other day and there was this chick that couldnt stand straight or on both feet, I was wondering what that was. Also the lady that had gotten the chick had said that she would take it anyway since they (TSC) would just kill it anyways. Anyways, I was...

    Winterizing a coop in the Midwest of the US

    Missouri, were starting to get our spring but last winter was pretty harsh. My house is also on the top of a hill so it's super windy too.

    Winterizing a coop in the Midwest of the US

    Hey y'all, I have a 10' x 14' shed that I'm converting into a coop. Anyone have any ideas on how to insulate and vent it while keeping the structural integrity? I have a picture of the shed too!

    5 toed Bantam?

    I noticed that one of my Bantams has 5 toes and I've tried looking up more information but with no luck (this is my first time raising chickens so I'm not even sure what breed it is besides the girls at TSC calling it a booted bantam)
