    Dog barking causing anxiety

    Hi all, Our recent (February) rescue dog loves to bark at the girls in their run. Consequently, they are losing feathers (talk about naked butts) and generally getting jumpy. WE're working on the barking, but is there a temporary fix we can give the girls to calm them? Too hot to keep them in...

    Black spots on combs

    Out doing the weekly beak-to-vent check on the Sexlinks and noticed these black spots on several of the girls. Their eyes are clear, no discharge anywhere, and they are all about 7 months old. It doesn't appear to be dry-pox (no white or fuzzy bits). Is this something I should worry about? Your...

    Help! Silkie Roo with fungus AND wound

    Came back from a week vaca and discovered my Silkie roo (Moe) had not only developed some sort of fungus on his ear lobe, but also had his tail feathers plucked out and a somewhat scabbed over wound. I've given him a bath, Blue Koted the wound, and isolated him. This is my first time dealing...

    The Greatest Fly Trap Ever!

    Okay, I got this from TSC, but Amazon has it too. I live about 3 miles from a horse farm and my girls are plagued by migrating flies. Horse-flies. giant, evil, nasty winged demon flies. This thing is Ah-mazing! Reminder to hang it OUTSIDE the coop/run. It's also a little gross when it gets full...

    Two roos fighting (new and scary)

    The new sex links (6 hens) have been living in the coop with the Silkies (6 hends, two roos) (but not the run) with only some rabbit fencing separating them. This has worked beautifully so this morning we took away the fence and introduced the newbies to the run. Absolutely not a peep out of...

    Cochin or Silkie or a mystery?

    Picked up 5 sexlinks and this sweetie from the miscellaneous bantam box. Feathered feet not too clear here, but pretty sure Colonel Sassypants is one of the above. Your input would be much appreciated!

    How long should Yolko be in Iso?

    Yesterday, I discovered my smallest white Silkie - Yolko Ono - had a bloody spot on her back. Further investigation uncovered pulled feathers between her wings. I've isolated her in a cage with food, water, and a heat lamp for night. I've also sprayed her liberally with Blu-Kote. Any idea how...

    Accidental Silkie Owners

    Soooo...in early 2016, my husband raised the idea of having chickens. I'm a city girl (reformed) and he is a country boy (devout), so he had the experiences growing up. I, on the other hand, know how quickly I bond with animals and really wanted no part of it. Finally, after much discussion...
