so my olive egger started laying eggs 2 weeks ago, but her eggs are small enough to be mistaken for a silkie egg.... we got around 11 eggs total from her and all of them are small, both my silkie and olive egger hatched together and are 5-6 months old..... the only thing that assures me it’s the...
I hatched my silkies and her wing feathers look like that, and she has the blue earlobes as a sign of a pure bred... she is almost 4 months and has these.
So my chicken found a ton of fishing sized worms, nice big ones around 2-3 inches and really thick. She ate like 3-4 of them things, is that ok... “ she found them going back to her coop at sundown when worms come out to breed.”
My chick is starting to grow her head feathers and I noticed her walking backwards, she is eating and drinking fine. Her poop seems fine too. Iv noticed some talk about how their chickens start sometime when they molt, I bought electrolytes from Myers hatchery just in case. I’m guessing it could...
It’s odd because it was hatched with others who are silkies, the other silkies were rehomed 2 weeks ago and are growing in better than mine. The only difference is they have a broody hen that took care of them at the new home. Could that be a cause of it? They all hatched within 24 hrs of each...

I was thinking one of those small yogurts that have the small cup with candy or crushed cookies as a lid.
But the egg thing sounds good, I’m just hoping we have our fruits growing by then. I’d hate to use store bought fruit. Can chickens eat crushed postatios? Ik it’s spelled wrong...
ok, so my chicken will be turning 1 years old on April 23rd.... I was thinking of making a special treat for her. I was thinking of mixing seeds, fruit, and some crackers in some yogurt... “ I have a very tight budget” any ideas? Will this be ok for my soon to be 1 year old hen?
I let my chicks and chickens free range and I give them many of these as treats, Iv had chickens for 5 years. None have died from any of these, and I get great tasting eggs. My hens have their likes and dislikes, I even feed them jalapeños from time to time. They do all their own scavenging...
I have a silkie chick that hatched grew and has white feather fluff growing in as it gets older. U can still tell it was grey because it’s still growing it in
