    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Your Coop Smelling Fresh?

    I yes, she will be very distraught, don’t think that your chickens are less than humans, they have feelings too. Also, mama hen will do a better job raising and teaching the baby than anyone else can. Leave them alone !

    I hate chickens. End of story.

    How about a Polish Rooster ? I’m keeping my hens ! Now, I live in Thailand, so you will have to buy him a first class air ticket to the US. Polish roosters don’t fly coach ! But, he’s worth it . Picture on request .

We have Silkies, Mini Cochins, and Polish, and now because we rescued a local Thai hen who mated with our mini cochin rooster, we have Thaichins. We live in the mountains in northern Thailand, and are just finishing building...

    I have a silkie sitting on 8 eggs. 6 have hatched, ( that I have seen ) but her nest is really dirty and smelly. Should I move her and clean the nest, and put her back on the possible two remaining eggs ?
