Hello all!
Right now my Silkie hen, Alice, Is broody! It's amazing, she's only been laying eggs for a few months now, and already broody! Just to be clear on things, I have two silkie hens, and a silkie rooster. Alice has been broody for about a week now.
I do have a few questions though...
1.I...
I Have a free Black silkie rooster FREE TO A GOOD HOME!!!! He's just under two months, gentle, loves to cuddle.
I live in Utah, and Willing to drive anywhere IN THE STATE, for a meet up, AND NO SHIPPING. Please, if you have the room in you coop please take him, I don't want to cull him! D:
yes! Monday I went up and got my silkie babies. Five of them, Two black two white and one "red" I think she's a partridge though. . . .

Well, here's the story, I once had three bantams in my coop, 1 rooster, two hens, sadly, One hen passed away, And now the neighbors complained about the little noisy rooster, I'm thinking about giving him to my friend, who breeds Silkies and easter eggers, and she's willing to sell me two...
For the last week My bantam hen as been acting 'not herself' She was eating and pooping fine, But she would just wonder around as if she was lost and making really weird 'cooing' noises almost like a pigeon! Then last night, When I was filling up her water and giving her new Grit, she threw up...
I've got my Bantams into the coop a few weeks ago, But I wanted to paint the outside to make it look nice. So could I paint the coop without hurting the chickens? Or should I keep them outside until I'm done?
Any Silkie Bantam breeders or Hatcheries In Utah?
I live in a very small town in Utah, and I've scoured the web for Chicken hatcheries that carried Silkies, and were in Utah, But sadly; I came up with nothing, since I don't think that chicks would survive in the mail since our location, and...
Alrighty, I have a few questions about molting.
This year after begging and begging my mother to get a pet chicken(s) She said yes, they're are about 3-4 week old bantams A rooster and a hen, (Supposed to be both hens, show's you what feed store people know)
They are starting to get older...
