    Silkie Rooster?

    Hello Everyone! I am starting to think that one of the silkie chicks I got is a rooster. I think he is around 8 weeks old. He seems to be more rambunctious than his other silkie friend but that might be because he is older (I don't know). What do you guys think?

    Mealworms in compost pile

    Hi I was wondering if it would be a good idea to intentionally put mealworms in a compost pile that chicken have access too. I've raised mealworms before but I didn't like sorting through all the pupae. My hope would be that the mealworms could live off the compost and as the chickens were...
