Hello! I'm not sure if I'm in the right place but thought I'd give it a try! Seems last year about this time, I saw some pics of crocheted chicks for sale. They were really cute but I didn't have time to order then. I have young grand children now and would love to send an Easter basket this...
I've been searching through the site and have some questions I'd love to get opinions about. I hope someone out there can give me some good advice as I'm stumped! I have a 14-month old Silkie hen that has gone broody. She's done this a lot so it's not the first time. I wouldn't mind more chicks...

Wishing4Wings, nice pics! As for game cams, there's lots of advice on this thread about different ones, models, etc. Just do a search and you'll see lots of posts. I have the Bushnell 8 and I do not like it at all. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm hoping to get a new cam after Christmas...
I just had the chance to read all the articles submitted. There's lots of useful info and some very good pictures. I've learned a lot. This is a good thread to keep book-marked. Thanks for sharing and good luck to everyone.
I have 4 bantam Black-tailed White Japanese roos that are 5 months old. They're fighting constantly. I don't have the room or provisions to separate. Hatched these from eggs I bought then incubated. Healthy and non- aggressive to people. They're destined for the butcher unless I can find new...
