    Broody question

    I have a silkie broody who hatched 4 silkie chicks on her own. On the same day I hatched 10 silkies in my incubator. Could I just put all of the chicks under the broody? If the broody cant keep all of the chicks warm , could I just put a heat lamp for the chicks?

    Pigeon cage idea?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=593060 Hi! Would I be able to put a pair of tipplers in this 3ft by 2ft cage? It's 2ft tall. Could they live in here all the time? I may end up building another loft.

    Good pigeon pen?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=386248 I want to get a few homing pigeons. Could I put a pair in here to live in? I would let them out as often as possible of course. I would also put a wooden floor. I have never raised pigeons before and want to know everything about homers.

    What to put on comb?

    What do y'all put on your chickens comb and face to moisturize it and make it shiny for the shows? Anything I could use that I might have at home on hand? I am getting Vet rx tomorrow if that would work. I hear Vaseline makes the comb flaky and vetrx burns! Are there different types of vetrx?
