Hello Chicken community! So I have three Silkies, and one booted. One of my Silkies became broody, so I put a baby under her! But I guess I didn’t think this through. Now what? Will her new mama help the baby to eat and drink? Will my other hens try and harm the new chick? She’s laying on...
I live in Minnesota and have a heated coop. unusually, they started laying in January and now 1 of 4 is laying. Any suggestions? Suns out longer, weather is better? I have no clue
i have a pullet born in November 2016. Her sister stated laying in June. Nothing from her yet? When do I become concerned? I'm in Minnesota and days are getting shorter. And suggestions?
i have a Silkie who started laying 4-6 eggs a week back in June. She is free range and has not laid in several days and won't willingly leave her coop. I'm a new chicken owner, not sure what's going on.
