    Silkies question

    Are they pretty docile chickens? May consider having my daughters show them at the county fair.

    Silkies question

    Just a quick question to my avid poultry friends. I have found a person selling silkies. Is $5 about the right price range for 2 month old silkies.? Just love the looks of them and am considering adding a few to my flock (after the wife and I do the chicken math) ha. I now have room for a couple...

    Anyone experience this?

    im sure she will be fine. I would imagine she would have rejected the chick right away. Just keep and eye out and see what happens. Good Luck

    Need an opinion on some girls please.

    i really appreciate everyones input. It make my flock even more diversified and i like that. Got to pull the positives out of all situations. Explained to my wife chicken math today. Now she sees the light. What started out as 5 pullets, then 24 more, then 6, then 2 = 12? YES!

    well crap! was hoping that wasnt the case. Its interesting though, the ones that may be suspect black sexlink seem to have a little bit of a green "sheen" to their black. i think it will be interesting

    Good Morning to everyone. I am in need of some help identifying a few of my flock. I had ordered two dozen chicks that my wife picked up march 24th. In the order were supposed to be 6 Black Orpingtons. Out of the six, two are nearly all black, however there are four that look like this one. Can...

    Can poisions be passed through to the egg?

    I dont know for sure but i would say that if your concerned about that then maybe that should be a red flag. I think you have valid point though. I had that problem 8 or 9 years ago with my girls wandering. I eventually started letting them out later in the evening so they wouldnt have as much...

    I want four hens. Should I start with two or four pullets?

    i also agree. 4 at the same time from the same hatchery. Disease is an ugly thing. 1 sick chick will inherintly spread it quick. i have 5 different breed and have seen the pecking order get established but no major violence. Good luck
