LOL I had one of my orps that was determined to set on thin air. I finally put a ziplock baggie of ice cubes under her a couple of times for a couple of days. It worked with her. Not sure if it would work again.- Southern Bee Lady

An electric fence is not hard to put up. Just make sure you get a good ground rod. I use electric fences around my beeyards to stop bears. That is a little more complicated to do so a simple wire around the coop/run is easy.- Southern Bee Lady

You might want to get a black or dark blue to put with this one. Also if you add several to a group they seem to get along better...- Southern Bee Lady

Sorry. Silkies just seem to be hard to raise at times. If available I try to put a slightly older chick with the newly hatched ones. I think it helps teach them to eat and drink if they are a little slow. I also will use a medicine dropper to give them water (with sugar and/or...- Southern Bee Lady
