    What's the sweetest thing you've ever seen a chicken do?

    I don't know if this counts as sweet but when I had to trim my four month old silkie roo's "eyebrows", he was calm and just closed his eyes like he knew I was helping him to see again. He didn't struggle at all and this is a bird that hates to be touched!

    Scared baby chicks?

    Mines did that too. They're probably scared of the new environment, it should take a few days for them to settle and realize this is my new safe home. My advice, I would let them chirp it out until they understand.

    What Happens If Chickens Don't Roost?

    I have three, two cochins and one silkie. The two cochins are at that age when they are about to lay. I put a roost in their coop and they refuse to use it. They prefer to sleep on the ground. I was wondering what would happen if they don't roost. Thank you.

    My Two Month Silkie Hates Being Touch?

    My silkie will stand by me, peck my fingers for treats, and comes up to me but when I touch him/her she/he does a panic chirp and runs away. Anyone know why? I had him/her since she/he was two weeks old.

    How Should I Raise A One Month Silkie Cockerel?

    When he gets older I don't want him to be really aggressive towards me. What's the do's and don't's on raising him. Thanks!

    Are Silkie Roosters Meaner Then Other Breeds?

    Darn, that's very disappointing I was hoping for a pullet but his behavior is so much like a cockerel! Thanks for the reply!

    Are Silkie Roosters Meaner Then Other Breeds?

    I'm almost positive my one month Silkie is a cockerel by how he behaves. I heard somewhere that Silkie roosters are really aggressive, I was wondering if that's true. I know it's way to early to tell but I wanted you to see him.

    Why you don't go to the hatchery to buy feed.......

    So cute!

    Anyone Else Have That One Picky Pullet?

    My giant and Silkie would eat about anything but my regular Cochin only eats crickets, German cockroaches, her feed, and rarely mealworms. I was wondering if anyone else has a picky eater on their hands?
