    TSC bantam bin (again)

    I stopped by TSC Again and couldn’t resist taking home some new bantams, anyone have any ideas of what breeds these 4 might be? 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) Pretty sure 3 & 4 are the same breed, and maybe 1 & 2 are as well? Would love to hear anyone’s opinions regardless :D

    Pip but no zip? (HELP WANTED!!)

    So this is my second time ever hatching eggs. All are Silkie eggs, and I have 2 that have been pipped for 24 hours, give or take as they pipped while I was sleeping. They have not made any more progress, and I’m starting to get a little worried. One was pipped towards the floor so I flipped it...

    What breeds?

    Hello! I just got 4 chicks from tractor supply, all were from the bantam bin. I know 2 are frizzles because they are easily identifiable, but not sure with the other two: 1.) 2.)

    Selling Pullets?

    Hello all! After a recent fox attack that wiped out a lot of my hens, I turned to Hoover’s to get more chicks. However, I misjudged how many more chickens my current coop/run could fit. I would build/buy more space for them, but I’m not too handy, and can’t spend any more excess money right now...

    Thinking of adding Cochins to flock?

    Hi! I’ve been thinking of adding some Cochins to my flock. Wondering about the temperament and anything else anybody has to offer! Also, are bantams or standard sizes “better,” and good places to get them from. Thanks!

    Silkie chick colors?

    Hello all! I have a broody silkie that hatched out 3 eggs so far, with more to come! Now; she’s hatched out one EE egg ( obviously adopted) and two purebred silkie eggs. I’m new to breeding silkies, and would like help figuring out which colors they would be as adults! I have 2 silkie Roos, 1...

    Eggs still alive??

    Hey there, I have a first-time broody silkie sitting on some eggs (also my fist time hatching eggs). An EE chick hatched last night, and a little silkie hatched this morning. I carefully candled the remaining 4 eggs, but can’t tell if they were alive, since I am lacking in experience with...

    Something strange is going on!

    Okay. Around a 1-2 months ago, something got into one of my chicken coops and stole all my silkies (10 birds)- they vanished without a trace (besides some feathers). The next day I found three wandering around in my yard, unscathed. I immediately went and posted a thread, in which people thought...

    Chicken carried away by fox!

    A fox got one of my chickens today, I saw it run away through the window. Crazily, I was able to run fast enough to scare the fox away, and when I screamed “let it go!” She dropped my hen, who is thankfully still alive, and bolted. I feel so lucky! Anywho, anybody know how to care for an injured...

    Little Chick

    I got chicks about a week and a half ago, and like always they are growing super fast. However, there’s one little lavender orpington who’s much smaller than the rest- both the other lavender orpingtons and other breeds. She seems to get pushed around. Is this something I should be worried...

    Weak chick??

    just yesterday I received my new chicks in the mail. There is one Salmon Faverolle who seems weak, she doesn’t get up and seems to only be able to walk a few steps. She doesn’t seem to like opening her eyes either. A bummer, because she is the favorite of my little girl Lyla who has already...

    Guard goose?

    Due to a large predator attack that happened recently, I’ve been brainstorming a way to protect the remainder of my hens ( and rooster!). I’ve heard a bit about guard gooses, and have been wondering if they’ll protect chickens, (and ducks that I may get in the future.). Anyone have any...

    Chickens are gone!

    Today I went out to one of my coops and noticed the door wide open and feathers everywhere. The chickens (my sweet little silkies) were gone. The rooster was dead, I assume trying to protect his girls, but there were no teeth marks, blood, etc to be found! I’m assuming a predator got in, and I’m...

    Duck hatcheries?

    I’ve been wanting to add some ducks to my backyard adventures, and finally decided this was the year! But I can’t find any hatcheries so far who have both an affordable price and a minimum order of around 6 or less birds. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Do people like to buy roosters?

    So I’ve got a bunch of silkie Roos that I hatched, but I can’t keep all of them. I was wondering: Do people like to buy roosters? I don’t want to eat them 😂
