    I finally have chicken diapers! [more pictures, post #20]

    My silkie did a quadruple back flip, then another, then another, so we took it off and gave up. Should have tried again, after we laughed ourselves silly.

    Thanks for the advise. Off to home depot for insulation! I'm going to try it.

    winter with small chickens and a small coop

    I am worried about winter in the Chicago suburbs. I have 3 bantams, (silkie and cochins) and a henhouse that is 4 1/2 ' x 2 1/2'. Can they be warm enough? Should I insulate and put a light in there? Ideas on insulation? Of course, they could live in the basement if necessary..........

    Flies no more!! Found the perfect fly repellent.

    There is a vitamin B1 patch (don't bite me patch) or take vitamin B1. Mosquitoes don't like the way you smell , a little vitaminy. Not infallible but helps a lot. Just a few bits, as opposed to hundreds.

    Blood in eggs, no rooster

    It seems to be happening frequently. One of them has gone broody, and the other will soon, is it an end of cycle kind of thing?

    Blood in eggs, no rooster

    Is it bad or just really unappealing to have blood in the eggs? We have two female silkies, who basically live in the pen in the dining room. Are we doing or not doing something?
