Hey everyone, I just wanted to post to share with you something I have never seen before. I have one silkie hen who raises her first brood who had her first broody siting at 5 years old. Never before has she been a mother. 2 years ago she had her first clutch and ever since has been taking care...

Hey everyone, I want to start sprouting for my chicks. I hear it can be super affordable, but I can't find any places online that sell it for what I seen people talk about on the internet. I've read multiple sources that said they could get 50lbs of wheat seed for under 20$! Can you please...

I hope some one gets back to you on this cuz one on my silkies I thought for sure was a roo is squating for me too!

OHHHH man I wish that was my rooster!!! What a sweety I love him already!!!

Wow how cool is that? It must be alot of fun. I dont pretend to know anything about it but it seems like they would be a little hard to train. are they? I had a friend who had a half wolf half dog in her back yard. He was huge, and very lean and taller then me if he stood up on his hind...

Thx! She/He is just a hatchery chick, but all chickens are great anyways so who cares?! HOLY crap! You have a golden feather tittle its the 1st one I've ever seen You raise wolfdogs? Whats that?

! Teenage years (weeks lol) My little biddy is all grown up! (almost no egg yet or cackle or crow)

HEHEhe yeah I wont be making millions (god only knows if I'll even find a job!) maybe I'll have a tiny house ( i live alone anyways) and a huge yard. And become a chicken hoarder, I'll just give all my love to the chickens, er.. uh.. like and old cat lady! I've read some posts where people...

Choco Eko Iko The coop isn't finished yet, we still have to build a top level and add a roost raise the nesting box up off the ground. We've got some little apartment silkies

Im glad you think so I'd be devastated if it were roo. Its my favorite, I know I'm supose to love all y chickies equally, but I'm only human..

EPP! poor thing seems doomed to be roo.

Oh my GOSH! poor baby chickey makes me wanna cry too!

Yeah I wish that too! It would be so helpful. When I have more room for more chickens I'll do that it sound like a really run project! It'll only take me about 8 years to finish college! lol I swear when I'm making my millions as a avian vet I'll have 50 chickens!

Thanks for your input. I've read alot of your post ant tend to agree with most of you sexing, as far as silkies go. But now your breaking my heart LOL! Do you think the black silkie has some female qualities? like her beak, I feel it looks like a girl beak. Are the swooped down tail...

I agree with you about everything. My poor black silkie, its super lovey I hope its one of those rare one that surprise me!! I'd have to give my roos to my mother in the country. But I could always get some mix babys from him! And put'em under my hens!!! It would be alot of fun!

Dang that would make me really sad. I'd have to give my roo to my mom who lives 2 hours away from me.

OH, I had no idea! By far the partridge is my favorite. Its so sweet/ cuddley and quite. That would be very interesting to see! Thanks looking 2 seeing your chickies.

Th black did grow her comb pretty early a month ago but it hasn't grown sense. It does have very henny tail feathers. I hope its a hen that just grows into her comb. But ill be watching her very closely. Her crest is kinda rooish tho too. but when she was baby she had a regular chicken head...

I'm almost 95% positive the buff is a hen. Even tho I've held her everyday she just doesn't like it, I really wanted her to be sweet. But she fearful, really fiesty and always is trying to tell me to bring more treats for her lol! The other two are as sweet as can be expecally the partridge...
