    Could this be my chicken killer?

    2 days ago...we lost one of our white silkie chickens. No carcass...just a pile of feathers, and then a trail of feathers leading into the woods. This was in the middle of the day mind you...like 2:00 in the afternoon. So we went out and bought a trap thinking a fox was stalking the chickens...

    One more week

    First time chicken owners...and we are almost through our first winter together. That being said, one of our silkies decided to go broody. We weren't sure what to do. In a panic, we decided to let her sit on some. So we marked 6 eggs, put them in her favorite box, and let her sit on them...

    This is our first year with chickens...so theres had to be a learning curve. We had 4 barred rock that were reguarly laying every to every-other day. I didn't want to do it...cause I knew it was going to mess up their laying cycles. But after having the girls in the coop for a couple...

    Couple months ago, my wife wanted some Silkies to add to our existing flock. Never had any expirience with them before...never seen them before to be honest.(this chicken stuff is still kinda new). She saw some pictures of them on BYC and fell in love I think. Anyway, we found a local lady...

    OMG RUN...THE CHICKENS ARE LOOSE!

    sorry,,,couldn't resist. But anyway...The girls are 5 weeks old today, and as a birthday present, we let em out for the first time. Probably a bit to soon, but the weather was nice, I had nothing going on anyway...so if one decided to take me for a run, I was ok with it. But low and behold...
