    Chicken swap?

    Unfortunately, one of my 2 precious Silkies turned out to be a roo. I've kept him as long as I could but I'm going to give him away to keep watch on another Silkie flock in need of a keeper. 😔 I will have one Silkie and 2 OEGBs left. I do plan on getting another Silkie pullet. Should I give...

    My Wimpy Silkie Roo

    Guys, I've successfully integrated 2 Silkies into my mini flock! It took a while but they're now all happily foraging and sunbathing together in their backyard digs. (Yay!)

    Can you age these pullets?

    Aloha! Meet Daisy and Pepper. I believe they are Old English Game Bantam hens. They are still pretty darn small and I know they won't get much bigger. I'm just curious about their age. I was told they they were 5 months when I got them about two months ago. I've noticed the comb on one of them...

    New Chicken Mama in Paradise

    Hi! I just got 2 young hens. They are hen-raised and people-friendly sisters from the same brood. As the new chicks on the block they still need to get acclimated with the rest of the family. I'm looking forward to raising happy chickens and building them a new coop; it will be my weekend...
