I have her in the portable pen during the day set in the landscaping where she can dirt bathe and dig to her heart's content.

    Advice, please.

    I'm adopting a Silkie hen and her four babies. The owner says she's very protective and pecked her hard today. I'm not afraid of handling her, but I'm hoping someone can give me good advice. I plan to keep her and her babies inside for a few days until she calms down from being rehomed.

    Rescued Paint Silkie

    I went to a "reputable" breeder to buy a male paint Silkie that was unwanted in her breeder program. Turns out he wasn't wanted much at all. She wanted $20 for him but settled for &10 due to "ratty wing feathers" and a bit of "red color seepage" in his top feathers. He was in a barn room pen...
