    Rehoming my 3 month old silkie rooster

    Hello everyone, I have a sweet and kind 3-month-old rooster named Prince Charming who is looking for a new home. He is gentle with his ladies and would make a great addition to any flock. If you live in Ohio and are interested, please message me. Thank you!

    Silkie not eating or drinking. Might be egg-bound

    Help! My Silkie has been acting weird all day. I think she may be egg-bound. I gave her a warm bath earlier today, which I thought helped when I found her in the coop a few minutes later. However, she has just been staying there for the past 2-3 hours without laying an egg. Her poop looks...

    Need help my silkies have pink spots under their feet.

    Hey! This is my first winter as a chicken owner. I noticed some pink spots on a few of my chickens' feet this morning. Could this be frostbite? I have attached a picture for reference.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I now have a coop inside of a greenhouse with pine shavings on the ground. I’m thinking about adding some straw when it gets cold here.

    @NatJ I will have to find a way to close up the run area for the winter. It's been raining a lot here, so my chickens are in my garage now. It has windows. Worst case, can I keep them in the garage for the winter? It's an attached garage, so it's warmer in there.

    Thank you @NatJ for your reply. It's good to know I have options. Would it be okay to leave it just grass for the winter months? I'm just asking because I have silkies and they're sensitive to cold weather.
