    I just moved from Ontario to Quebec and I have just learned that they don't have any of my usual feed supply stores (TSC / Co-op). Can anyone give some names of feed supply stores in Quebec that I can google? Thanks!

    Fly paper issue

    It's not an emergency but I have silkies and a strip of fly paper fell from the roof and became stuck to a chicken. I have managed to remove it all with no real issue. It's a very friendly chicken. The problem is now there is sticky goo stuck to her face. What should I do to remove it?

    My 2 silkies

    They are 4 months old now. The grey one is a female and the black one is the male. I thought the grey one was going to be my favorite because of her colouring but I have to say she is quite boring. All she does is sit there. The male moves around all over the place. He explores and loves to...

    what the heck are my chickens doing?

    My 2 silkie chickens hatched about 4 months ago. One is a girl and one is a boy. The female chicken is sitting on that little perch thing and the male makes a funny cluck and shoves his head between her legs like he is trying to shove her off the perch. Are they mating? I think they might...

    Week old chicks, Heat?

    My 2 baby silkies are a week old now. They are doing great! They eat and drink and poop like its going out of style. The heat under the lamp has been 95. I hear that after every week you lower the temp by 5 degrees. Is this correct? If so, should I lower it to 90 now? Thanks guys Matt
