    chicks after hatching....problem

    I seem to have an issue with my chicks after they hatch. I'm about ready to throw in the towel because I can't seem to get it right. All of my hatches have had very few chicks make it and none have survived. In my 2 chicken attempts this year I've had chicks born with smallish heads and...

    chickens and quail.... together?

    I have recently gotten 7 pharoh quail and I am wondering if they can be in the same pen as my silkies.

    wonky silkie

    Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm worried about one of my little silkies. He's about 4 weeks old and on and off for the past few days he has been shaking his head. It seems like after he scrathes an itch or stands up after a nap he cocks his head back and forth for a minute or so and can't...
