We just picked up an 8 week old mini Aussie. I tried to show him my silkies briefly this evening when I was putting them up for the night & he latched on to one of my hen’s legs & wouldn’t let go! It didn’t hurt her but It was so alarming!!! Any advice is appreciated.

Yesterday, my youngest silkie (about 7 mos old) started sneezing when I got them out in the morning. I didn’t think too much about it but then she started doing it again this morning when I got her up. Her eyes were foamy and she was sneezing every few seconds. I got some eye drops & they are...

What breeds is your flock? The Newbie? How many? Size of the coop & run? There are 3 chickens, all 5 months old & all silkies. The coop & run are approx 5X7. I let them all free range in the yard today as their first meeting. They seemed to ignore her but when they went inside, the old girls...

I have them separated during the day but wondering if they can sleep together? They sleep so sound & I move them to a dog crate to keep them safe.

I’ve not ever seen it do the wing flapping or ever try to mate or flare hackles.

5 months

I have an urban coop with 3 silkies. I’ve raised them since they were 2 days old. I thought I knew the sexes but am having doubts so looking for help with confirming hens and Roos.
