    Swollen Vent 7 week old Silkie chick

    Hi, I raise and breed silkies for the past 9-10 years and haven't had many problems, but aside from this one, please reach out to me in a message if you'd like to know what we do here that might help you. As for this, when I had one similar, but way worse, sticking out, I used generic...

    Possible health risks?

    Hi! Do you have any roosters? Mating can cause feather issues on hens. If not, do the hens squabble? Could they be overcrowded? Chickens need 4 sq feet per bird in their coop, and 15 sq feet per bird in their run. What do you feed them? A higher protein feed helps feather growth, so...

    2 broody hens pooping in their nest, one with chicks. Help

    Hi, You didn't have to move them IMO, as the other chickens won't hurt the babies. Those mothers turn into battle hens and it doesn't take long before the others know to stay away. The roosters will generally help enforce this and protect the babies, too. But, that said, they're moved...

    Open Contest Outdoor Garden Show—2025 BYC Summer Fair

    Anyone without locations in your profile, it's easy to add them if you want to. It is helpful though to us in some threads about insulating coops and stuff like that too. :)

    How would you go about dividing this space?

    I too thought this could be an issue, between the pens, but the only time it has been is with one rooster, newer to being in a breeding pen. The rest of the roosters have their own hens to worry about now and seem content. Where we need privacy is in the front, where the human doors are, and...

    They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing! :love I have to ask, is that one duck in the rear that's not white a buff orpington? We have two that sort of fell in our laps and I don't see them very often. That one looks about the same color.

    Constantly getting errors.

    One of them I had open, got this. There was a picture in between these two that didn't load. I refreshed and it loaded. I'm going to log out, clear cache, reboot, and if you never hear from me again, my computer exploded. :gig

    I’m just happy to be here!

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I can't help but think of my Corgi every time I see a Dorking chicken. :) (The short legs in case nobody knows what I'm talking about.) At least dogs weren't the only ones to get that trait, but they sure are pretty! Would love to see a picture of yours...

    1st time chicken owner- little silkie nuggets 😊

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Awe, thanks for sharing all those pictures. Gorgeous pictures and chicks! Where do you live as I raise and breed silkies, and keep striking out on getting a blue rooster. I have the best luck pawning off roosters in my local Facebook poultry groups...

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow I also think you should get several more hens if you want to have 3 roosters. Some will say 10 hens per rooster. We typically have about 4-5 hens per rooster, which is on the low side, but these are silkies, where it works a bit better. Fewer hens means...

    Constantly getting errors.

    I had just opened, let me count... 13 pages, so I'll clear my browser, log out, and go from there after I'm done. I did notice in the past couple of days that I did not get one frozen page, but just a few minutes ago, a picture I posted loaded, then disappeared. I refreshed, and it was back...
