    Question About Integrating

    A week ago I moved my now 8 week old RSL chicks outside to the coop/run. I put a divider up between them and my Silkies mainly to keep the chicks from eating the Layer feed until I could guy some general flock feeder. Anyways the Silkies were pretty freaked out the first day. More afraid than...

    Chicks and General Flock Feeder?

    I plan to buy General Flock Feeder for my Silkies today so that I can roll up my divider and not have to worry about my 8 week old RSLs eating Layer feed. I was wondering though. Should I still buy a bag of Grower for the chicks? Will it matter if the Silkies eat any of the grower? Or is the...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    I have posted this story before but it's appropriate for this thread lol. Back when my RSL were a couple weeks old I had them in a brooder inside my home. It was kept in our "mud room" at our back door. I was taking and posting pictures of the chicks as they grew and developed on my facebook...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    It was pretty funny last summer when my Silkies started laying eggs. I had used some eggs to bake a couple cakes and sent one with my mom for my grandparents. A few days later my mom was telling my grandma about how good the Silkie eggs were ect. And my grandma went off about how eating those...

    Two Squabbling Chickens

    Two days ago I moved my 7 week old Red Sex Links outside to the run/coop. I put up a divider between them and my three Silkie hens just to slowly integrate, and to keep the chicks from eating the Layer feed until I can buy some general flock feeder. Anyways I went out this morning to check on...

    What time of day do your Hens Lay?

    Last summer my Silkies layed at any time during the day. I usually didn't find eggs until about 7pm. Through the winter and into spring they have been laying between 11am-1pm. It will be interesting to see how the summer goes this time around.

    Dumb dog won't stop eating chicken poop!

    Yup there is really nothing that can be done. My dogs love chicken poop. I figure my birds are healthy so it won't hurt the dogs. Not that I want any puppy kisses after seeing what they snack on lol.

    Question About 7 Week Old Chicks and Diatomaceous Earth

    So I know mites/fleas are going to be bad this summer. In fact I have had to flea treat my dogs a month earlier than I usually would because the fleas are already jumping on them. So I made sand/DE bathing pits for both my chicks and adult Silkies. I also sprinkled it on the straw bedding...
