    My Silkie Roo Died

    Found my Roo dead this morning. My question is how long will my two girls keep up laying fertile eggs? They lay eggs every other day and have seven on the bator all fertile just wondering how long before they start laying unfertile eggs since there will be no male.

Anyways, I was cleaning the coop today and found her sitting on 6 eggs on a nest she made on the ground in the middle of 4 50 lbs sacks of feed. Now if I use them sacks I can always replace them with...

    My first Four

    This little fellows were the ones that got the ball rolling 3 weeks ago. I had bought 6 White Silkies Bantams and only 4 remained but are loving birds, they just see me approaching their cage and become all excited. Hopefully there'll be a male in the group.
