Introducing Myself, the Wren of Wrens Grove
Hiya, Wren, and welcome to BYC! :frow Ah, yes. It's always the sweetest rooster though it seems. Merle was ours. He was a red partridge silkie rooster. I too would love to see pictures if you don't mind sharing! We're glad you're here!- Debbie292d

QUIZ: What’s Wrong With This Chicken?
Well, even if I hadn't known, you made it easy with your funny options. I especially liked I guess we can get a little pale if we don't get our coffee so that works for me! ☺️ In all seriousness, this is a great idea! :highfive:- Debbie292d

Incubating …. Again! Whoops.
I had to laugh as I was supposed to be done in July. I oopsed in September and have 17 silkies running around in a pen in the 20s and 30sF, barely two months old, acting like it's summer. I've heard of some who have them, various sizes, and have liked them. You can type Janoel in the search...- Debbie292d

Grazing Frame - Fodder Table Box - Continuously Grow Fodder & Seedlings & Sprouts For Chickens
We don't use the frames either, but in the winter, I grow hard red winter wheat in the house in trays. We get it from the Amish for around $8 for 50#. If you could find a feed mill, that would be way cheaper than Amazon. Plus, they'd give you other great ideas, I'm sure! People in feed...- Debbie292d

Mice eating feed and getting into coops
I actually saw this work once though. The farmer across the road from us have rats, we don't. They had taken over her barn where she doesn't keep anything but alfalfa and straw. She said she did the box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and baking soda and left a big pile in the barn. We wound up...- Debbie292d

My hens stopped laying
The next time you need feed, look for an all-flock. That will have 18-20% protein, vs. around 16% for layer feed. The only other difference is that it has less calcium, so you need to supply a separate dish of oyster shell. Scrambled eggs is high in protein and a healthy treat.- Debbie292d

Are there any Filipinos here? If so I DESPERATELY need your help
Hi, and welcome to BYC! I would check the poultry groups near you on Facebook. You'd probably find someone selling chicks. Good luck!- Debbie292d

Homemade electrolyte?
Most of us say and give just a couple of hours' worth of our homemade or store-bought electrolytes. It's just to give them a little boost if they just got off a 12-hour shipping truck, are suffering from shock from being attacked, under heat stress, etc. It's not meant in any form to be given...- Debbie292d

Remove the partitions during lockdown or nah?
We've always used that rubberish shelf liner and have several cut to fit. After a hatch, I just throw them in the washing machine and hang them over the shower door to dry. Wishing you a great hatch!- Debbie292d

Cyclops Chick (GRAPHIC!)
Wow! I've hatched hundreds of silkies and never seen or heard of that anomaly before. I guess you already know not to go back to that breeder, at least not for silkies. I'm sorry you had such bad luck with them. Unhealthy parents can produce weak, handicapped, or abnormal chicks. I'd be...- Debbie292d

Just need a little post-hatch reassurance—Moving to brooder, incubator temp
What I do is have the brooder at 95°F before moving the chicks in, and sprinkle some crumbles around on their paper towels so that as they get up and walk around, they have something to pick at. I have a small 4-ounce clear Pyrex bowl with a giant marble in it, and that's foolproof safe for...- Debbie292d
