    Two silkies, one is making a crow noise. Do we have a rooster?

    Yep, I thought so. Oh well. We got 6 in total and so far this is the only one who seems to be a male. Thanks!

    We got two silkies who are about 4 months old. One has started to make a "crow" noise that I haven't heard from hens before. I think it's a rooster, I just don't want it to be. Do hens ever do that noise? It's like an ERR EE ERRR that you'd hear from a rooster. They haven't started laying...

    Illinois...

    Hi everyone, just wondering what towns you're all in and what your thoughts are on keeping 3-4 "stealth" hens in the Chicago suburbs, Mokena, where they are not be permitted. Has anyone here had success changing their local laws and ordinances? It seems to be a slow process but I'd be...

    Starting a movement in my town of Mokena, IL (Will County, IL) to legalize backyard chickens?

    Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone in Will County, IL would be interested in joining me and starting a petition / Facebook group to legalize backyard chickens in the area. I'm really surprised they're not allowed given Mokena, New Lenox & Manhattan all have some VERY rural areas where you still...
