    Buff Silkies

    I have four buff silkies for sale. Three of them are approximately four months old and one that is three months old. Silkies are hard to sex, but the three older look like pullets and the younger one is still hard to tell. They are $50.00 each. I hatched them from eggs from Catdance. Local...

    Put the wrong eggs in lockdown

    I put eggs into lockdown on Wednesday and while I was looking for pippers just now, I can see I put in two eggs that go into lockdown next week. Has anyone had eggs that are still developing in with eggs that are on lockdown with higher humidity requirements? What is the probability that these...

    Set eggs 3/5. Looking for others to hatch with!

    I put 12 RIRs and 4 silkie eggs in tonight. This is my third attempt. I killed the first two batches using the dry hatch method. It was WAY too dry for my guys. They were all shrink wrapped by day 21 and died in the shell. So here is to the old saying, the third time's a charm I am...

    LOCKDOWN IS TODAY!

    Lockdown is today with hatch day on Sunday. This is my second time to incubate.

Anyone else going into lockdown?

    Is This Normal

    This is my first time to incubate. I am trying to hatch silkies. I am on day 21 today. This morning I heard a peep coming from the incubator and it has been getting stronger as the day goes on. I can't see any holes or cracks. Now I can see some kind of liquid under one of the eggs. Is that...

    Broody Hen Losing Weight with Green Diarhea

    I have a silkie hen that went broody on December 14th of 2011. She is the oldest of my flock, although I do not know how old she is. Judging by her skin, she is not young. The rest of my silkies were just becoming mature and the eggs Maggies was on were not fertile. I bought a six-month old...

    Is it safe to eat eggs from chickens who carry CRD

    We have 25 RIRs that are five weeks old. They got sick with a "cold": sneezing, discharge from nose and shaking their head. My best guess from a lot of research is maybe infectious laryngotracheitis, but I'm not a doctor for sure!!!!! I picked this one from symptoms that fit our birds. They...
