    The Triplets.

    Back in April, my silkie hen went broody. She had only raised one chick in the past, and was ready for more! I put under her; 2 Black laced white Polish eggs & a production Red egg. The father to all 3 babies is a beautiful Frizzle. I'll post pics of all of them. I apologize for the sideways...

    Guinea advice.

    Hey guys, I have a small mixed flock of chickens, half silkies. I've been doing some thinking and I think I'd like to take in one or two female guineas. I will probably get them as chicks from our local feed store in the spring. I'd like to have them because of bug and tick control, and another...

    Feed question.

    My Silkie and sizzle chicks are 5 weeks on Friday. From day one they have been on normal chick starter, which I've used for all my chicks while they were little. Well, they ran out of normal chick starter so I had to go with medicated feed with the little normal starter than I had left, just...

    Quick question.

    I have 3 eggs that are each a day apart. The "oldest" embryo goes on lockdown tomorrow. That's when the turning is stopped correct? But anyways, I have automatic turners. Do I put something under the egg (I have ideas on what to put under) in the morning or the afternoon? Embryo is big and...

    Confused? Need advice.

    I'm incubating 3 silkie eggs, and two eggs started the process before the other one. I think the third is infertile. But anyways, my (oldest I guess I would say?

    Scared to death

    I've heard and experienced (my friend's chickens) pass away from eating cracked corn. Only silkies. My chickens are my absolute world and my mom accidentally fed them cracked corn today. Do You think they have a chance? I'm scared to death. It will tear me up if they don't make it..

    Why are they doing this??

    Ok, so I have a pair of mating white silkies who have never hatched any eggs before but always are together. Everytime I lay down in the hay, they tunnel through and find a nest and lay there. They also make weird noises almost like broody noises too each other! Do you have any idea what they...

    Sick silkie

    I have a silkie hen who will be 1 year old next month, and she has some weird problems. Ever since a while back she started losing mobility. She's healthy but she does have a bad foot that limits her some. The thing is her sister has the same problem with one of her feet and gets around just as...
