    Sexing this adorable Frizzle

    Hello there. This little baby is six weeks old. I picked them out of the bantam bin at Tractor Supply. I’ve never had a frizzle before so I’m trying to figure out if this is a cockerel or pullet. Is it too early to tell? Thank you in advance.

    How many standard eggs can you hatch under a silkie at one time?

    Can this egg be save?

    Today is day 17 of incubation. I have a broody Silkie sitting on several eggs but the other hens fight their way into her nest box to lay. This egg must have been crushed. Is there anyway to save it?

    These eggs are supposed to hatch Saturday/Sunday. Does it look like we could have any possible live chicks here? 😢 Our sweet Silkie has been broody for almost two months. We don’t have a roo but finally got three Ameraucana eggs from a friend. One was a obvious quitter, supper stinky. We saw...

    I’ve been eyeing this Flyline Garden Coop on Amazon but I can’t find any reviews. It claims to be predator proof and have steel wire on the bottom. Anyone own this or familiar with this coop?
