    Broody Bantam Silkie but no eggs??

    Thanks all for your answers. I wish we could get some eggs to hatch but we are in the city and can't have roosters so I can't take a chance of hatching any roosters. Thanks again, I will quit worrying now:). Stephanie

    Where did everyone get their chicks from?

    I ordered mine from mypetchicken.com but they won't be here until the end of the month. I too wanted sexed bantams - no roos and they can do that. Traci is the best customer service person you will ever talk to. She answered so many of my questions and has been so nice. I can't wait to get...

    New here, city dweller wanting to raise some chicks

    Wow, didn't intend to be ambushed here:) Another reason for me to raise chickens is to start a little self sustainability. I WILL go to city Council and fight and I will explain to my daughter that sometimes the government oversteps it's bounds and that there are certain rights that I will...

    New here, city dweller wanting to raise some chicks

    Thanks Robin for your thoughts. I already checked and we aren't zoned for them but I am hoping that the bantam breed will be smaller and quieter. We know our neighbors on one side and they don't care, not sure about the others but our lots are pretty big for city standards so I don't forsee it...
