One from heat stroke, one from egg bound, and another I’m not quite sure. She was always lethargic and sickly but she ate and drank water. She...

    When to transition silkies outside?

    I have two five week old silkie chicks, and I’m thinking of transitioning them outside in the next week or so (they will be 6-7 weeks). The weather is looking at being low to mid 80s and lowest high 50s. Is it too soon? Any advice on the transition?

I’ve been excessively researching silkies before I got them and plan on continuing to use Backyard chickens as a resource. My dream is to add call ducks to my tiny flock maybe next summer!
