    Benninger Hatchery's silkies

    Cuckoo silkie roosters for sure have red combs, at least mine do. Both of these are from Bobbi Porto, exhibition breeder out of Florida, indigoegg.us. And this one's from a different breeder.

    Heater or heat panel -10

    This nipple waterer was right next to a Cozy Coop heater in our growout shed last night, and it froze. The eight silkies in there, which were around 4 months old, were all up next to it so maybe they blocked any heat getting away from it. Still, for this to freeze with 8 chickens and a heater...

    Coop Thermometer Hygrometer Recommendations

    You've probably got Bluetooth, though. Here's what we use as we have three places we wanted to monitor. We bought these five years ago. The display goes in the house. If you really just want analog, as you mentioned, then something like this should work.

    Is this vent prolapse or something else?

    I don't think so. I only know a prolapse to be if it's protruding out of their vent. Let's see if @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock can take a look. I'd definitely get that calcium I mentioned above going for her though.

    Integrating 1 chick into existing flock

    I did this twice, just so the momma has a baby, she was happy and seemed to not notice the others were gone. She'll continue to protect that one. It'll then grow up around the others and when the time comes for her to wean it, they'll all be used to each other and it should work out.

    lockdown, egg kicked

    Good advice from @kattabelly as I'd have given similar. It is sometimes a bit discerning to watch them roll other pipped eggs around, but I try to just walk away and get myself a bowl of ice cream or something. :) They always manage somehow.

    Hello I’m a newbie nice to be here and need some help.

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I would be afraid running that light at night would stop them or slow them down from laying, and like @DobieLover said, it's not putting out much heat at all. As long as they are draft-free and dry, those temps you have aren't so bad for most breeds. We're...

    Feeding Wild Birds

    Or decide they'd rather have the sunflower seeds on your window. Here, he was eating suet, but appears to want the seeds that the chickadee has. We don't see them often though, just a couple times per year.

    Selling Emu Eggs

    Not true, and this member has not been online since Jul 2019. I have a painted emu egg in my bathroom that came from friends who only have two females.

    Chicks that wont eat chick starter!

    I have hatched thousands of silkie eggs. In the beginning, they were all hens, but over half that many were hatched this past year in incubators. Never have I seen mushy chick syndrome, and it's apparently quite rare, as I frequent the hatching and ER forums nearly daily and have only seen it...

    Comment by 'Debbie292d' in article 'What factors really influence hatch rates? Things you CAN do to improve hatchability!'

    Susan, this is very informative, but seems like the last paragraph could maybe be first (or second), then make headings to cover each variable further. A couple of pictures would help spruce it up too.
