Hey Forum,
A few hours ago from the time I posted this, 3 of my chickens went inside the house, where there was Rat poison, because we're having a problem with Mice and Rats. The chickens came inside, and I'm predicting that they might have eaten the Rat Poison!!
My brother came outside to...
Hi! I'm purchasing new chickens to my previous flock which is comprised of two silkie roos and one silkie pullet who have been together since birth. We decided to get more pullets because we only have 1 pullet as we got them straight run. So today I am getting two new pullets about 5 months old...
Hi, today I'm buying a Sex-link/ Australorpe cross pullet, and I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some photos of any, because I've looked everywhere for pictures of Sex-link/ Australorpe crosses and couldn't find any? Thanks for giving me pictures, and I need them before today, because...
Hello, my baby chicks that are ~4 weeks old have Fowl pox because we live in a very mosquito filled climate. I have had one already die of it (such a terrible death), and I am willing to save my others. There is one chick who has such trouble breathing and I really fear for him. He won't eat or...
Hello, I was just wondering what sort of food/fruits/treats your chickens simply love to eat! My Silkies will eat anything, their favorites being worms, lettuce, and corn. They enjoy rice but it makes them sick, so I was wondering what healthy food your chickens love eating and I want to...
I'm on vacation and I miss my chickens back home, so weeks back I bought 12 baby chicks here. They are spraypainted on the outside with colors but the colors are washing off as their white wings are growing in. So I keep the chicks outside in their chicken coop and the weather outside at night...
I need help determining the gender of two, 4 month old silkie chickens. The white chicken (Sunny) and the brown chicken (Hawk). I have a guess as to what they are; Sunny a rooster and Hawk a pullet, but need some confirmation. Also I have three silkies but I don't need to know the gender of the...
Hi there, I'm new to keeping chickens and I have 3 silkies! They are 4 months old. One of mine started to crow pretty early (at about 3 months or so) so I was thinking maybe the others would start laying pretty soon if they were hens. I was just curious, when did your Silkies start to lay eggs...
Hi there! I have three sweet silkies, all are almost 4 months old. I know the gender of one of them (he's got the big red gobble) and he is a rooster because he has crowed, but I am unsure about the other two. So i'm requesting for help because i'm a newbie and i don't know much about chickens...
