    Laying in the woods

    Hi everyone! I have two shamo hens in my flock. I thought they had stopped laying because I wasn’t finding any of their eggs in the coop. Today, I was walking around straightening their electric fence, and I bumped into a nest they had made in the woods! It had 12 eggs in it! My question is...

    3 month old Silkie in Raleigh, NC

    I have a 3 month old (hatched on April 23rd, 2014) silkie who is not sexed yet. It needs a new home either as a single pet or as a part of an ALL SILKIE flock. The reason? This chick is extremely docile and too nice to be with other chickens. It was attacked and scalped by other chicks her same...

    sick one week old bantam chick

    We had some bad storms today here, so I kept the babies in today. This morning they all seemed fine. After the bad weather passed, it started to get warm and sunny, so I went to take the chicks to their outdoors pen. I found one of them like this: Sitting without moving much, one of the...

    Wazine 17 label

    Hi, folks!! I know there are other threads on Wazine here, but I guess since then Wazine has changed its label. For what I understood reading here, the label used to say "not for birds intended for human consumption", but it was agreed that by consumption, they meant immediate consumption. 2...
