    I know silkies are hard. Any guesses though? I'm not even sure if they're full blooded silkies.

    10 Yr Hiatus- Questions About New Flock

    Got it. It did appear as though the previous owner went WAY overboard with the DE when he had them. The 1st time I cleaned out the coop, the whole floor was white powder under the old shavings. One of the lorps had a sneeze, but it's since gone away. Maybe this particular EE that is still...

    10 Yr Hiatus- Questions About New Flock

    Thanks for the reply! I'll try to wrangle one and give it an inspection. The coop so far is a decent size for the birds. They all fit in one nest box and tend to pile in there each evening. *eyeroll* They've yet to discover the roost bar that goes all the way across the top. I'm in southeast...

    Hmmm? Male or female? About 4 mo old. I don’t know the breed. Silkie or Cochin or polish mix?

    I say roo by the coloring. Definitely a tricky little cutie!!

    Crowing chicken but no saddle feathers?

    Muddy Run

    Cover it or dig some drainage. Or put bedding down like sand, shavings or straw.
