    Another reason I love my chickens

    I know how much they love bugs, and help with bug control. And their great eggs. I have another confirmed reason why I love my chickens. This weekend my daughter and I found our first scorpion of the season. We are in an area of Texas where we do see quite a few scorpions. We moved a brick and...

    Feral tomcat

    A large feral tomcat was on the other side of the fence a few minutes ago eyeballing my chickens. I went out there and told it to "scat", and it ran off into the pasture. I have 5 large free range silkie hens. I think I know the answer to this but will ask anyway: Do cats kill chickens?

    Our turkey that thinks he is a chicken (pic fixed)

    My stepmom had a broody hen and found some wild turkey eggs in the bushes. She put those eggs under the hen and she hatched 3 turkeys. Predators ended up getting 2 of them. But one is now grown and is tame and still hangs out with the chickens. It was very sweet to watch him follow his chicken...

    My backyard a few minutes ago...

    Too bad my camera is not very good. There were so many deer while my chickens were out by the fence. I tried to get them all in one picture but I couldn't. And then my batteries were done and it got too dark. My new chickens have really fluffed up in the last week. My backyard a few minutes ago:

    Question about age of female/rooster

    I have what I think are 9 girlie Silkies and 1 rooster. I had 3 hens and just got 6 more hens (I think) and 1 rooster this week. One of the original 3 hens is the only one that lays eggs. She would lay an egg a day. Now that a rooster has been introduced to my yard, the silkie that had been...

    Silkies/How can you tell male/female?

    I have one that is obviously a rooster. But out of 10 chickens I am only getting 1 egg a day. I am not sure the age of the chickens that were given to me the other day, so maybe they are not old enough to lay eggs. How can you tell male/female silikies? I will post the picture from earlier and...

    What breed/breeds are these?

    I am new and just learning the forums and just posted this question elsewhere. I was given these chickens yesterday and was told they are Japanese Silkies. Are they? And what kind of quality? Or are they a mixed breed? They were brought to me from a ranch where the aggressive chickens on the...

    Pictures of my new chickens...are these silkies?

    I was given these lovely chickens yesterday. Did not expect to get a rooster, but he is SO SWEET and just loves his girlies. My other 3 silkies are a little angry, but overall are doing ok and think it will get better. My one self-appointed Queen did have a fit when one of the new chickens laid...

    Japanese Silkies added today

    I have had 3 Japanese Silkies hens for a few months now, all doing great. One got broody, but just got over it. One is about a year old and she is the Queen Silkie. The other 2 kind of follow her lead, but now they are no longer "teenagers" and are actually bigger than her now. But she is still...

    Something I want to say...

    OK, I am new and want to say "hello chicken people!" I have Japanese Silkies and need to learn a few things, so I am coming here to the forum of chicken wisdom. I am hoping to learn the inside scoop for caring for these lovable animals, that I treat with respect and they treat me with respect...
