    Strange Silkie behavior & death

    I have 2 Silkie/Easter Egger mixes. I had 3 but 1 fell ill several days ago & by the time I realized it had fly strike it was too late. Of the remaining 2, one is broody. Every time she attempts to come out of the coop (omelet coop) the other Silkie attacks her. I’ve been putting water in a...

    Has anyone tried this feeder?

    I found this feeder where the door slides shut to keep mice out at night. Right now I am lifting two 25 lb feeders into a metal trad can at dusk & back out at dawn. This would be a lot easier. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    My Silkie mixes love benches!

    I had tried several perches with my Silkie / Easter Egg mixes & no go. They ignored them. Never used them. Then I got a slatted bench to put in their run for me to sit on. They love it. They rest under it & perch on it. I took the rest of the perches down & put in another slatted bench instead.

    My first ever chickens!

    My chickens arrived. Picked them up at the post office this morning. They are 6 week old pullets. Silkie/ Easter Egger cross. So far they just seem kind of clueless. Poor babies. I just went out & put them in the Eglu cube & shut the door. They weren’t to happy about it. I had to catch them...

    Cool Bed for Chickens?

    I purchased a K&H Cool Bed for our dog & she doesn’t use it. A dog we had prior loved it but she was warm natured. Anyway thinking ahead to Summer is there any reason I can’t put it in the chickens run? It is easily hosed off & no electricity as it uses the water inside it to keep its temp...
