    I actually tried that, but it didn't work. I have the mini coop that has 2 boxes on top and 2 boxes on the bottom. The girls all lay in there. But I actually just locked them out. So the girls were forced to start laying in the main coop in the 3 nest boxes that are in there. But the OE...

    Well I've had Silkies hatch in the incubator and with a momma Silkie at day 18-19. Earliest on a LF was day 20 for me. This is the first time with Serama chicks. I gave them to a Silkie hen. First one was out on day 16. I was totally shocked. We are on day 19 today, and 2 more hatched...

    My husband will be home. But he's really not going tongo out and check on her. He was like they are chickens. They food and water and you locked her in. So no one can go In or out. And it's 100% weather proof. And it's actually really sheltered from the weather. He's like they will be just...

    Wow, no time to catch up, but I'm like freaking out... So I went outside to put the Momma Silkie on Lock Down in the Mini Coop. She has been sitting on Serama Eggs for 16 days, today is day 16. I'm going to Girl Scout Camp today-Sunday, and I wanted to make sure she was in there with food...

    Oh so sad on your momma hen. I have had 3 broody's at my house. 2 are really really great moms. The other one is kind of so so... I don't think she would ever hurt the chicks, or anything, but both times they were always taken over by another hen. Yes, its like she does the sitting, and the...

    Lice, how to get rid of it....

    So my girls have lice, and I feel just awful about it. I do use DE in their coop and dust bathing holes. So do I need to sit out there and really dust them with DE or do I need to go buy something else. Also I have a Broody Silkie sitting on eggs, so not sure what to do with her, because I...

    Bantam ones? Well Brian said he would look at Chicken Stock for me. If not I might have to make a trip up there. The 3 feed store by me haven't even gotten Brahmas in at all this year, just Cochins and all LF. I saw a Bantam Brahma a few weeks ago, and OMG, they are freaking awesome.

    OMG, I can see my putting them in a paper bag and shaking them around, just like shake n bake. Blahahahaha..... Well cleaned out the dust baths, and threw all the dirt in them in a different spot in their area, and then filled it in with some new dirt and put a crap load of DE in there. So...

    Yes, I use DE, I put it in their dust baths and I sprinkle it in the main coop floor every week too. But I don't ever really see the Silkie's dust bath, I couldn't find any on my other birds, I looked for an hour last night, just on the Broody Silkie Momma that is sitting on eggs right now. so...

    Utah!

    Well I went outside yesterday and checked everyone. The only one that I could find any on was the broody momma that is sitting on eggs. I almost wonder if the Silkies just don't dust bath. I never really ever seem them in there, and I put DE in the holes every week. And I get white looking...
