Having an Automatic door would be wonderful! Being able to know my feather babies are sfely tucked away if I cant get home before dark to tuck them in.
Yes they are given free range of mine and my neighbors yard pretty much every day. My run is covered top, sides and three feet out at the bottom with hardware cloth. Then it has roofing over the hardware cloth top so they stay completely dry when it rains.
Thanks for the reply! Yes thats feet. And Im not concerned with size of the run. I was seeing if an enclosed coop/house was needed. My birds spend about 8-10 hours a day ranging my yard and my neighbors yard. The only time they are confined is on really nasty days and i don't feel like going...
I have a 10x 12 completely covered run. I want to see if anyone has opinions about setting up roosting and nest boxes sans a coop. I live in a very humid coastal area. For example here we are in the middle of January and we have a balmy 75 degree day out here. I was thinking of putting up a back...
I have no idea. They were not sold as such. They were sold as silkies. I asked specifically if they were purebred not mixes and she assured me they were. ♀️
Just picked up these little ones. The person I got them from was not the breeder. She had no clue about age or what their color is. Anyone know what color they will be?
Looking for a companion for my lonely silkie baby. Would like something around 2-5 weeks. Not breed specific. Would like to be able to get a pullet. A bantam would be ideal but I'm not picky. My little silkie is very lonely and not eating well since her two hatch mates went to their new homes...
She seems fine in all other regards. She was a little quieter then the others but I chalked that up to them being roosters. I had them all blood dna tested for sex so I could home the roos before they got to big. But she is mobile will preen. I did noticed her break is just a tad off. Like...
I have an approximately 3-4 week old silkie. I just let her two hatch mates go to their new home and she is all alone now. I've noticed her crop doesnt seem full anytime I feel it. I dont think she is eating well. I'm trying to find her a companion but in the meantime any ideas on getting her to...
Thanks so much! I'm not sure if it's residual from the running into the fence or if it's the vitamin deficiency so I'll treat like it is and hope for the best.
I have a 3-4 month old polish that was fine yesterday. Today we found him unable to stand and his head keeps twisting around. A couple weeks ago I found him in what looked like a passed out state flat out on the ground. He came to when I picked him up but he was a little stunned acting. Hes been...
