    What to do about the roos?!? LOTS of ?'s.

    Hello, We know very little about chickens in general but have been reading and trying to soak in so much on this site! We had a nice year with our 5 hens. We love getting the fresh eggs daily and our small children couldn't get enough of carrying one of our two silkies around in a basket. We...

    Road trip for 12 day olds w/ mom TOMORROW ????

    Feel free to tell me this is a really bad idea but also, please tell me anything I can do to make it better for them. I rarely have to bring my oldest daughter to Kindergarten but I have to tomorrow. I though it would be a nice surpise to bring the new mom and her babies into the class room -...

    Chicks and other chickens

    I've learned a lot by reading these boards! I have 4 chicks that are a week old now. They are with their mom (actually a silkie who hatched them, but they weren't her eggs!) in a secure area but I can tell the mom really wants to come out of confinement. I'm afraid to leave the door open...

    Total newbie ? re: mating

    Hello - Do chickens have "seasons" or if at anytime a rooster is left alone with a hen can you assume her upcoming eggs will be fertile? More info. in case it's needed: About 9 months ago we got 5 chicks just to raise for eggs and then 2 silkies because we thought they were cute. In the...

    When can we hold them - When can they join the others?

    We have a silkie who has hatched 4 chicks (not hers) and they are all in a small closed off area and seem to be doing well. I was wondering when it is safe to hold the chicks and also how and when to let them out into the big wide open. We have 5 other hens along with a few goats and cats that...

    Silkie hatched 4 and then hid the rest!

    Hi - We are trying to figure out what is happening and if we should expect more chicks. We have a silkie who has been sitting on 12 eggs (not hers) and 3 of them hatched on Sunday and one more on Tuesday. This morning she completely rearranged her living space! She made a new nest (just...
