    I live in the city of west palm beach and cannot keep roosters here because of how close the houses are together...

    Is my silkie rooster a hen?

    I thought I had a rooster, but something laid two eggs and the only other chicken I have is the silkie/cochin in the background who has a much bigger comb and is younger... Is this a hen? Is she considered pretty poor quality for a silkie? She's just a pet so it's okay.

I have what I believe to be a silkie rooster and a sizzle cockerel, they both have huge walnut-looking combs (is that the right term?), but today there was 2 eggs in the chicken coop... I am bewildered. Can a silkie hen have a comb? Now that I think of it, he/she has never...

    I am new to raising chicks, so I am a little frustrated by this... My chicks range from several weeks old to almost 2 months old, I buy them and they start out fine, then gradually start fluffing up but still act normal and eat normally, then they will lose interest in food, then they die. I...

    Silkie gone. Nothing but feathers :( More raccoons, more deaths.

    I am new to this, so bear with me... is 8 weeks old enough to hazard some guesses on gender? Also I have read a few of the posts in here where people predict the gender, but what type of cues are they based off of? Is there somewhere where I can read about which traits are typically male and...
