    Broody Hen Thread!

    What is the best way to introduce eggs to a broody? I just received 6 Sillkie eggs for my very broody hen. Can I give them to her now or should I wait until nightfall? Anything else I should be aware of? This is my first time doing this. Thanks for any and all advice!

    My 11-month old cockerel, Elvis (my avatar), is having issues with his balance. I examined him and he seems to be normal and in good shape. He's acting normal, eating and drinking well and still chases the other Silkies around the yard every morning to make sure they know who's boss (lol). He...

    I need some advice please. Stormey's clutch of eggs is at Day 23 today by my calculations. One egg hatched Friday, right on time, but nothing else has pipped or hatched as of this morning. I candled the eggs around Day 15'ish. I didn't take pictures but here are some similar images I pulled...

    How to t feed a sick chicken and give subcutaneous fluid

    I really appreciate that. I have a 4 month old Silkie that I'm treating. He's eating and drinking but I don't think he's getting enough nourishment. He's losing weight so I want to give him extra nutrition by tube feeding some Exact baby formula and electrolytes.

    I'm so excited for you! I know Icelynn is your special girl. My very first chick hatched yesterday too. They could be sisters! She's all dry and fluffed out this morning. Is it normal for the ends of their little toes to be pink instead of black? Will they turn dark as the chick ages?

    Woohoo! My very first chick hatched today! My first Silkie laid her 1st egg Aug 9th and is now sitting on her 1st clutch of eggs - 12 in all. By my calculations, today was Day 21 and sure enough, the first one hatched this afternoon. Bobbi Porto - Nitro is a granddad (again, I'm sure)...

    Update....... Sonoran Silkies to the rescue! Hoping it is heat related. I'm in New Orleans where it's been 90+ with a zillion % humidity. Have him separated in a crate with me where it's quiet and temp controlled. Have pedialyte with iron-free poly-vi-sol free choice. Breathing seems to have...
