    Advice about socializing silkie mama and new chick to flock

    I started out with separate coop and run for 4 silkies. Ended up with 2 silkie Roos and 2 hens. Other flock is 20 hens and 2 Roos. About a month ago, I free-ranged all. One silkie hen died, unknown causes. Other became broody so I gave her 2 eggs, 1 hatched. So now I have all the others...

    7.5 week Buff Cochin - gender

    Now 20 weeks. I've assumed pullet but last night 'she' mounted another hen. No crowing though, but my rooster doesn't like the Cochin. Do you all still think this is a pullet?

    Southern Dad enters the roost

    Cute story! Now it's time for chicken math- when 3 hens aren't enough, or we want green or blue eggs now, etc. I started out with 6, now have 27! Welcome to BYC! Great place to learn.

    Welcome! I lived in Joshua for 7 years until retiring in December 2013. I didn't have chickens there though. I see a few on here from Burleson and Grandview, probably some from Joshua too. Great place to get chicken questions answered, and just lots of nice people!

    All mine are outside, even the silkies! They have been inside, but obviously prefer to be outside. Fresh Eggs Daily posted this cartoon. I thought it very funny because all my hens are so similar I haven't named them individually Me being a Harry Potter fan, my 6 reds are The Weaselys, my...

    I'm thinking pullet but just want to confirm. This was my mystery chick from McMurray so have no other Cochin to compare to. Please help, thanks!

    I have had an egg-straordinary morning. I have only 1 hen laying, every other day. Since she is only 16 weeks, I figure that is normal. Yesterday was a no egg day, so I was observing today to see which hen and what signs. She went into the coop once by herself but came right out. Next time The...

    I hope that works for you and you can keep your girls. I love living in the country - I'd rather have a neighbor who lives in a 20 year old camper than have an HOA.... Oh wait, we ARE the neighbor who lives in the camper... :)
