    Sick chickens

    My whole flock is sneezing and has lice. At night they all make wheezing sounds. One standard chicken has yellow diarrhea. Our bantam silkies have bubbly eyes and one has swelling under one eye. We've bathed them all and cleaned and sanitized coops. We feed them organic food and they free range...

    Colorful eggs

    Yea, I have both of those but I'm discovering that certain breeds of those lay brighter colors. For example, the wheaten colors seem to lay super blue in ameraucana breeds and super dark brown in maran and penedesencas.

    Combining sizes

    When I tried to put my bantam silkies in the coop with my standards, the bantams got chased around so much I was worried they weren't able to get any food or water. Do you think it's okay to put them together?

    Dead rooster

    I think I wanna try to hatch some eggs from my flock. So our rooster can live on in some way or another. Our flock is a random assortment of hens to our white Silkie roo. Babies should be interesting. I don't even know if they are fertile but I should do it soon. Hens stay fertile for 2 weeks right?
