She has been doing this for the last week, and it's keeping me from putting an automatic door on. Why is she doing this? By the way - she is 3 years old and...

    Creating a border

    I want to make it where my silky chickens cannot get onto the patio and stay only in the grass (because they make a mess on the patio).

    Bathing your chickens

    My silkie swolled a hair tie

    My sweet silkie was free ranging and ate a hair tie and swallowed it before I could get it from her... Will she be ok? Can it go through her digestive system?

    Fence the coop, or not to fence the coop?

    We have 4 Silky hens, our backyard is one acre and we have a fence around our backyard but we are afraid that they are gonna fit through it. So we are going to move thier coop back there, So will we have to put fencing around our coop? We don't have run, as they are free ranged.
