Hi guys, The weather where I am has been intense lately. The temperature will be in the thirties one day and below zero the next. One of these days will have a high of 39 and a low of -4. One of the below-zero nights, I brought in my tiny silkie hen. She doesn't sleep on the roost with the...

These three chicks are a little over 11 weeks old- Chick one is an orpington/ameracauna mix: Chick two is also orpington/ameracauna: And chick three is ameracauna/golden comet: I can get more pictures if needed, thank you!!! ~Mallory

The only things I know for sure are that: -the white one is half silkie, with comb and wattles growing fast -the brown one is half ameraucana, no comb/wattles so far (daddy in the background in that last photo) Any opinions are very appreciated! -Mallory

My silkie pullet is almost ten weeks old and she is really really small; her sister (same age) is about 3 (or more) times her size. She can walk but she stands with her head tucked in most of the time. Every once in a while she'll walk to another spot to stand. She'll also preen herself and rest...

I have one rooster who mates with all my hens, then a silkie rooster who only mates with one or two or my girls. I have one hen who is always being jumped on by both roosters and now she's pretty much terrified of them. I kept her separate for a good couple months, but she attacked a pullet in...

I don't know much about them, but I was told the dark gray/brown one is an Easter Egger? She lays small light brown eggs... -Mallory

I got two silkies a week ago, about 8 or 9 weeks. My small one is bleeding from ears and nose!

I just got two young silkies (hopefully pullets) last week. I was told they were about 8 weeks old but I'm not totally sure, because there's a pretty noticeable size difference. I just put them to bed, though, and the smaller one has a squishy crop... They've been eating and drinking and acting...

I have 3 pullets in a coop separate from my flock of adult chickens. They've been "quarantined" for a while now, I've started letting them free range together and they get along pretty nicely. I'd like to move them into the big coop so I can have the little coop for new chickens, but they've...

I have one silkie in my flock, a rooster. He was bright pink when I rescued him from a teenage boy who bought him on a whim at the state fair -_- He's mostly white now, but also pretty dirty, and I think he's been pooped on; he could use a bath, anyway. I was thinking of just adding a little...

I just got 3 buff orpingtons, 13-weeks old, supposedly all hens. This one has curious tail feathers though... It's similar to its sisters in all other respects, any chance it's a hen??

Last week, when I went to close my chickens in for the night, I found my beautiful sweet Orpington hen laying on the coop floor. I picked her up to help her onto the perch, it was a very cold night and I wanted her to be able to snuggle on the roost with the others. I couldn't get her to grasp...

I have 5 hens- a leghorn, a wyandotte, and three leghorn/RIR mixes. I'm fairly certain all were born early to mid last year. My question is- can I expect hopefully at least one of them to make me some babies this spring/summer? My Americauna rooster is always jumping them (and my pink...

Since last summer, I have grown my flock to seven chickens (hopefully it'll continue to growwith SPRING BABIES!) We built them a shed-sized coop that is a work in progress, and a decent-sized run. Every once in a while (way more often in the warmer weather) I let them out to roam our yard...

I could talk about my little flock all day, but can rarely find anyone interested in listening :p let's be friends!
