I agree with you, parasites can be fatal... good advice!

2015 Greetings! I pray that all is well with you and your farm. I ordered some of your Silkie eggs last year. Out of 6 eggs, 4 males and 1 female hatched. I was amazed at the hatch rate. Now I need some lavender Ameraucana eggs. Look for my order on Monday.

Yes, they are said to be evolved from T-rex and it shows because they are great predators. They are on everything that moves. My chickens had a snake surrounded one day, and we all know how crazy roosters are. So chickens are far from being cowards. Just a little cautious at times.

It is hard when you dont have a rooster, but I have tried caging my aggressive birds with some progress. The one's who were in the coop first are gonna act up. If is best to start off with the docile breeds then introduce the more aggressive breeds to the coop after the docile ones have made...

sometimes chicken of different age groups and sizes fight. The bigger and older will pick on the smaller, younger ones. You have to separate them until the little ones are big enough to defend themselves.

Got another buff and a black one. So far 4 chicks out of 12 eggs. This is day 22.

I would say follow your heart, but instead follow your knowledge. As a beginner it may be best to start off small and work your way up so you can learn and grow. I wanted to know as much as possible (even though I had experience as a child, things change), so that I could develop a routine to...

I like it so far, it takes a little work to maintain the humidity. I cut a sponge into a strip and placed it into the well on the bottom of the bator, and use a funnel with a straw taped to it to add water to the sponge or well as needed.

Started a group of Silkies today, 13 Total. Little Giant 9200, egg turner, computer fan added. Temp. 100 degrees, Hum. 25. Wanted dry incubation but may have to add water to maintain a 30%-35% humidity.

That is wonderful Xovan, I had 1 chick hatch yesterday, this is the 22nd day and none of the others started to pipe. I got 2 buff orpington chicks to keep her company because she did not like being alone. They all seem to get along well.

Finally ordered my silkies, let the games begin!! Thank you Garry Farm.
