    Off grid cabin with chickens and limited access - possible?

    In a perfect world that would be great, but it won't take long for a predator to find them, not to mention if the water system breaks and your not aware. Just my opinion but I don't think it's a good idea for that length of time.

    Help pricing in central VA

    What makes you think it is a rooster? I'm sure older now so maybe there is more sign but I'm not sure from your photo.

    My chicken ate a fly should I be worried?

    No worries. Just one less fly to deal with.

    ISO: show quality bearded crested silkie hatching eggs in IL

    You might check ebay. My son bought some out of New York. His were shipped but have been developing fine so far.

    Olive egger roosters???

    Besides the comb looking pretty red to me at this age, they both look like they have pointed feathers around their necks. Good indication of a cockerel.

    Baby chick butt concern

    Maybe dab on a little Blue-Kote on the spots they are picking. Hicks attract to red.

    Egg laid with no shell or membrane

    My hens just never seemed to eat the oyster shell, so I would mix some in their food. That always solved my soft shell problems.

    Just because you sat there first doesn't change the fact that is still my seat.

    Very thin shelled egg from one hen?

    There could be different causes. How old is the hen and what type. I would try mixing in some oyster shell with the feed. My hens never seemed to eat it if I just left it out but would if I mixed some in their feed. Maybe that will help.

    Help, very slow weight gain

    I had an issue once with chicks long ago and I believe I used Corid which was added to their drinking water.

    Help, very slow weight gain

    She doesn't look normal in this photo. I would maybe treat for coccidiosis. I've had that happen with chicks before but not that young. I'm no expert, just someone who has raised chickens for a long time.
