Hi,
I tried to get all the recommended pictures but these two would NOT stand still.
I was told I had Ameraucana eggs but reading these forums it seems like a lot of people get EEs that way.
Curious what you all think.

This is my entire flock of chickens. Two silkies, two mille fleur leghorn chicks, two ameraucana chicks, and one mystery blue/grey chick.
I just have a general question. If all these different breeds are raised together, is there a pretty good chance that everyone will get along? I would...
I have a silkie sitting on 6 fertile eggs I purchased.

Hi,
I'm new with chickens and have a question about feeding. Our 3 silkies get to free range on our large backyard. In the way back there is about 10 feet square of blackberries that got away from me and so my question is....
When the blackberries ripen will the chickens overeat on the...

We are first timers with our chickens. We just got 3 black silkie hens. Have found a wealth of information here on your website. Thank you!
One of the chickens, the blackest one, my daughter named Nyx. She is the most tame of the group. The other two, we are still trying to win...
