    Serama question

    OK Serama breeders, I've got a big question. To raise Seramas do I need to have a heated chicken coop? I live in Summerfield, North Carolina. (Just north of Greensboro, NC.)

    I lost a pullet today?

    Folks today when I went out to check my birds I discovered a 3 month old hen dead. She was laying flat face down and her feathers didn't look very disturbed. At first I thought she had just died. When I turned her over I could see where something had eaten her belly and chest out. Her head...

    Let out in Rain or Not?

    Hey Guys. I've got a question. I've got Three Silkies (you know those furry birds) that I keep in a 4' x 8' coop. I hate to keep the birds coop-up all day.

    Hatching in egg carton?

    I believe I've read several posts in the recent past about hatching eggs by placing them in an egg carton with the large end up to allow the chicks a better chance of getting out. I also saw some very negative posts about this. What was the final out come to the debate? Is it best to use them...

    I'm in trouble again.

    Hey guys, I'm in trouble again. My wife just noticed the foundation to the new coop that I'm building out back.

    What food treats do you use for chickens?

    This past weekend I went to the Poultry Show in Salisbury. (It was a great show.) I noticed that some of the bird owners were giving their chickens treats and the chickens seemed to love it.

    Question for Silkie Breeders.

    Hey guys, I've got 6 baby silkie chicks about 4 weeks old. I have them in a home made brooder with Beech shaving, waterer and a feeder. The problem is that they just love to rake all the food out of the feeder and scratch around in the floor for it. Is this normal? Litewings
