    My Chicken Facts

    Thank you for visiting my second page. First, I would like to talk about tips on how to raise chickens before they go out in the coop. If you buy chickens as newly hatched chicks, you should make sure you feed them medicated chick starter for the first month or so. After that, you can use...

    I LOVE silkie chickens! Our family got three of them on May 5, 2009. One black, one gray, and one white. We also got a few other breeds. One new hampshire, one black cochin, and one buff orpington. Even though I have only had chickens for a short period of time, a have done some research and...

    Introducing New Birds To Flock- Please Help

    Hola everyone! I have 2 porcelain pullets that are just about ready to move out to the coop with my 5 bigger hens. They are very delicate and are only about a quarter the size of all my other birds, so I am very worried that they won't survive the first night. I tried slowly introducing them...

    Roosterly-Hen? PLEASE HELP! :-/

    I think that Ralphie actually did lay an egg once. I found a long, abnormally shaped egg lying out next to the water container. I was pretty sure that Ralph layed this one, because it was after all of our other hens had started laying. Shortly after it was layed, Ralph started to crow. Then she...

    Roosterly-Hen? PLEASE HELP! :-/

    Hello Everybody! I have a cochin named Ralphie. Ralph started to "crow" when he/she was full grown, and the crowing started out sounding like a series of connected "BAGAWKS." He/she started to get better at it, but it took almost a full year to sound like a real roo. And it wasn't until after...

    What can I use to wash down the inside of the coop?

    I think it depends on the kind of coop you have... We have a small wooden coop that holds about 8 chickens. When we built the coop, we put pond liner on the floor of the coop (to protect the wood from chicken droppings), and then put a layer of hay on top of the liner, to give our chickens...

    Hen Crowing- SOS

    Thanks for all the replies, everyone! I've been researching and I think that I've found some ways to possibly "feminize" Ralph. One of them is to inject her with female hormones (which I would only use as a last resort). Does anybody know if this might be safe? I'm thinking about trying it...

    Hen Crowing- SOS

    I have a cochin hen, named Ralphie. She layed an egg once, but then stopped and started to crow. It seems like she is trying to act like a rooster, but isn't very good at it... Ralphie will try to walk sideways toward me like some of my other roosters do, but she will only go a couple of steps...

    How do chicken's produce eggs?

    Hey everybody, I am working on a 4H presentation with the topic: "how hen's produce eggs"... and I hardly know anything about it. I've looked online and in books but I'm having a hard time finding useful information. Is there anybody out there that knows how a hen creates an egg? If not...

    Chicken died?!?!

    Thank you for your sympathy! She may have had a heart attack- but she died very quick... I doubt it was poison.

    Chicken died?!?!

    Hello everybody! A few days ago, one of my white silkie hens passed away.... But what startled me most was that nothing appeared to be wrong with her before her death. I was sitting out on the deck (and my flock was playing in the compost ben) when I heard squaking. I looked up to see what...
