    Silkie...Extra toe?

    I just noticed one of my chicks has an extra toe, the lady I got hatching eggs from said there is some silkie crossed hens in her flock.

    Hen grabbed by dog and now will not stand up

    Messy Eaters Solutions?

    Hello! I have made some PVC feeders that are great for storing large quantities but my chickens seem to love pulling it all out of the feeder and spreading it on the ground, is there a good way to reduce the waste of feed as they just trample over all the spillings? Thanks in advance!
