Keep an extra waterer inside and switch it out in the morning and afternoon when the water freezes. Or we have a heat light I our coops it keeps water from freezing and helps with laying through the winter.

I have 2 silkie hens and both hatched an egg on January 5, one chick did not make it. We left the chick that lived in the coop with the momma hen, she has been a very good mom! Well she just started laying eggs again, one Wednesday and one today. She will not sit one them, she did the first...

I am not really sure who laid the egg! Snow White had an egg hatch at the same time that the chick hatched but it didn't make it. Neither have laid any eggs since.

This is what we came up with! You can see Snow White and Hunter snuggling together and Creamcicle up top in the box with her chick and a new egg she laid today! We may have a new chick in a few weeks!!

So u think its because of the chick? That was my thought. We do have a rooster in there too. Creamcicle is not aggressive toward him. I will separate the her and the chick from Hunter and Snow White and see how that goes. Thank you!

I have 2 silkie hens, one is Creamcicle, the other is Snow White. Creamcicle had an egg hatch in the beginning of January, she has been very aggressive toward the other hen since then. Snow White seems to be afraid of Creamcicle. She hides under the ramp, and looks very thin. we made a shelf...

I am in Maine and it was -12 yesterday morning at 6am. My 8 chickens in 2 coops are doing fine with just one heat lamp each coop. I check on them often but they all seem fine!!

The The chick is fine, it's the momma hen going after the other hen, and this is new since the chick hatched. She is a very good mom, I thought she may be being aggressive because if the chick. And the other hen is not defending herself, she bows her head to the floor and cowers, my...

Ye Yes she is after the other hen. I put food and water up on the shelf for the one that's getting beat on, the mom stays on the floor with the chick, so at least she can eat and drink in peace!

My 3 silkies, 2 hens and a rooster are now 9 months old and have lived together for all 9 months. One hen (Creamcicle) hatched an egg about 2 weeks ago and the other hens (snow white) had an egg hatch but did not make it. Now Creamcicle is being very aggressive toward Snow White, pecking her...

Thank you!! I am very excited!!

Mine will NOT eat string beans.

I have a buff rooster and 2 hens, one egg hatched last week so we also have a baby chick!! We are thinking about adding some more silkies, just want to check to see if we can add different breeds of silkies to the buff ones and if its ok for the roo to mate with them, and if he would mate with...

This is Creamsicle and her (and our) very first baby chick!!

My silkies dont like meal worms, but they love worms from the garden.

I put the eggs in the incubator daily when i got them from the coop, I read that it didnt matter, they would hatch 21 days from the last egg put in. The last eggs were put in on November 29th. That would make 21 days December 20th. the book I got with the incubator said 99.5 degrees, and...

I dont know much she should have been doing that soon after hatching.

I tried to keep the temp at 99.5 sometimes it went down to 98 but I would adjust the temp back up. I didn't measure the humidity, I had water in the bottom of the incubator and put in a bowl full, when it said to up the humidity I put in a second bowl. The eggs came from my chickens, we had...

I am not sure what happened. The chick that hatched yesterday has passed now and the silkie egg has passed too I am afraid. Not sure if I will be attempting to hatch again this is horrible.

Thank you so very much for your help. I will post a pic if a few hours to see.
