    How to introduce 18 week old birds to older birds?

    I am getting some pullets on Sunday. I am away for five days starting Tuesday. How should I introduce them? I have a 2m x 2m run but would that be enough for three pullets for the first week? Currently have three silkies and a faverolle bantam and getting two pekins and a cream legbar cross.

    Alarm call?

    My hen hera who is bottom of the pecking order started making this cry for about ten minutes and calmed down when she saw me. Is this normal? Sounded like bgarrrr, bgarrrr but loud enough for me to hear 40 metres away. Cant figure out how to do a video.

    Brown eyes on red silkie. Normal?

    This is hera. My other silkies have very very very dark brown eyes. Hers remind me of some kind of Orpington X silkie. Is she a cross or just special?

    Quail nest box size?

    What size nest boxes do quail need? Have constructed some just wondering if they would work both 15cm tall (12.5cm inside) one is 22.5cm wide (20cm inside) and one is 17.5cm (15 inside) I had a small amount of spare timber so I just worked with what I had instead of planning.

    How to stop my chicken pecking my shoes

    I know this sounds ridiculous but my silkie is absolutely obsessed with my shoes. She wont leave them alone. Sometimes I wear crocs there and it is very painful. I know the obvious answer is to not wear crocs but I was wondering if there is another option

    Faverolles. Is it just my faverolle who is as feisty as a gamefowl?

    Can not figure out how to attach a vote to this thread so please leave your opinion in the comments. My bantam faverolle is the feistiest hen (about as feisty as an annoyed gander) ever. Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience. Apart from her all other hens treat me like a cock. In...

    HELP! Bantam faverolle bullying silkies

    My bantam faverolle is constantly pecking at my silkies should I isolate her. If so should I keep her in a cage in the run or away from the other girls. Have only got one coop so she would have to roost with the other girls. Here are the pecked silkies
