    Bantams mating with standards?

    We just foung out that out black silkie pullet is not. A she, that is. We are not technically allowed roos, but the neighbors think that he's cute and his crow is a bit pathetic so for now he's staying with us. We have 5 pullets and one hen- all standard sized breeds- and they all get along...

    Do chickens get lonely?

    I have 6 hens, 2 are just over a year old, 4 are about 8 months. All are laying well. One of the older ones started losing her neck feathers 8 weeks ago or so, the pins start to grow in but she still has a naked neck. Now all of them are losing them, just around the necks. They spend the day...

    Chick crack?

    We fed our 12 day old chicks mealworms for the first time and they went beserk, now they fly onto any arm put into their space looking for a worm fix. My kids are thrilled, but how many can we feed them per day? They otherwise only get non-medicated chick starter and water.
