    egg bound?!

    She's a year and a few months. She's been laying for months very reliably and has never had this happen before. We soaked her several times, and felt nothing hard at all. She's roosting right now (thank goodness she feels well enough to do that!) and we will try and coax her to eat some yogurt...

    egg bound?!

    One of our easter egger hens is acting egg bound. She's still drinking water but doesn't want to walk around and acts like she needs to pass an egg. I checked her and couldn't feel an egg and there's no blood or shell shards that I can detect.She did lay/pass this semi-hard pale green thing that...

    Worried about my Silkie chick in a flock of standards

    Oh no, i hate to say it but... We had two Silkies mixed in with our 6 EE/Brahmas, and they ALWAYS kept to themselves and were afraid of the bigger birds. Then, one of the Silkies passed away (no visible reason) and the other one is now lonely and sad. It refuses to associate with the other...

    What Does everyone think about Silkies?

    I LOVE silkies! They have the sweetest personalities. Ours follow us around and beg to be picked up and cuddled. And who can resist a begging cotton ball?

    For Sale: Black Silkie in Colorado

    Ahh sorry aussie! Thats our prolblem. We have other chickens too, and the Silkie absolutely refuses to associate with them. They don't pick on her, but she stays as far away from them as possible. It doesn't help that she doesnt like to roost either. She sleeps in a corner by herself. So we need...

    Diaper on chicken say whaaat?

    oh wow! thanks for the info everyone. I will definitely have to get one ASAP. The only thing im worried about is the frequency of changing it...what if we're gone for the day? Would we just have to put her in a big dog kennel with newspaper instead?

    Diaper on chicken say whaaat?

    I searched BYC on them, and they had some people selling them, but i didn't find enough general info on it to run out and buy one haha. And we tried. Nobody is selling, so at least for the short term, we need a solution.

    Diaper on chicken say whaaat?

    Ok, so one of our two Silkies passed away two nights ago, and his remaining buddy is tragically lonely. Britches absolutely refuses to associate with the other chickens, who in turn ignore her. She follows her human friends around pitifully whenever we go into the run, and so we took pity on her...

    For Sale: Black Silkie in Colorado

    We are sadly giving away our precious Silkie, Little Britches, because his/her Silkie companion passed away. She is very lonely, and while our other "big chckens" dont pick on her, she does not associate with them at ALL, and just wants us to cuddle and stay with her. We're asking $20. We also...

    Time for Tough Love?

    We offered water and food inside and out, and now food just outside. Our 6 teenagers learned after a week of sticking them in their at bedtime that the coop was very comfy, and I went down to get them and they were all inside. They will get the hang of it if you keep sticking them in their, just...
