Newer chicken owner here, and this is my first experience with lice. I plan to get the Poultry Dust and do all the ladies, but I was reading that a spray is more effective for the coop and nesting boxes. Is there a spray anyone would recommend?
Thanks!
I'm looking for just a handful of backyard chickens. I'd like at least 1 giant cochin, some silkies, and maybe a sizzle/frizzle. Anyone know where in California I can find older birds? I'd like them to be 3-5 months old so my chance of getting pullets is higher. Suggestions appreciated!
Do silkies typically lay eggs of a certain color? I'm a first time silkie owner and my hens just started laying--both layed eggs that are a very very light green color. Just wondering if that's expected/what other colors can be expected from silkies?
Thanks!
My 5-ish month old Silkie roo stands up very straight and flaps his wings when I either come near him or "chick chick chick" at him. Wondering what this means? I assume he's trying to protect his lady friends from me, but hoping maybe it means he's happy to see me or something?
Thanks!
I'm planning to move and am in the process of looking for housing. We will be living in city limits, so I was wondering where I can look to find out whether or not chickens are allowed and how many.
Thanks!
I'm a first time chicken owner and I've had my silkie chicks for about a month now. They're 7-8 wks old. I know its still kind of early to tell, but just wondering what people's thoughts are about gender??
Also any tips on socialization?? They want nothing to do with me!
