    Hello, I have had chickens for about 3 years now. The first year went well. Nearly all my store bought chickens grew up with no problem. The second year I really got into silkies and incubating. I ordered eggs online and hatched them out myself. They did fine until about 8 - 16 weeks...

    Owl! Big Owl!

    Last night the chickens started carrying on and the guineas were really telling it. I look out my bedroom window and sitting on top of my brother in law's camper was a really big owl. I think it may have been a great horned owl? I wish I had grabbed my camera! When my husband opened the back...

    Oh no! They are all going Broody and I don't have a Roo!!!

    First it was just one silkie that disappeared. I thought something had got her, coyote, hawk, etc. until I saw her come out from under the house one day to eat. I found her nest and she hatched out 2 babies. At that time I had some game mix roosters and a Silver Laced Wyandotte so her eggs...

    What is my Silkie doing? She sits down when you walk by her?

    One of my Silkie hens is doing something a little odd. When I walk by her or get close to her she sits down. A week or so before one of my other silkies went broody she would sit down when the rooster came around so she could breed. I'm not a rooster?! I don't even have any roosters anymore...

    What color is this silkie?

    Look at this silkie baby..... I bought the egg on e-bay and they were supposed to be silkie eggs. Well it looks like a silkie but it's barred in color? Can silkies even come barred? I didn't think they could. Could she be a cross between a barred cochin and a silkie? That would be my best...
