Thank you!

I received a red sex link pullet back in early june as a gift. She is 6 and a half months old now. Any idea when she will lay? Her face is all red and her waddles look done growing. I can't wait for the first egg and I want to show my husband that back yard chickens are a good thing. We have a...

Thank you! That's a really good idea!

Is that normal? My girls are not quite laying yet, sometime next week or so I should see my first egg but they seem to poop in the nesting I have in the nest boxes. Not alot but definatly some poop. It is because there food is near that area? Opposite the next box? Or is this just something...

When will they begin to lay? What kind of eggs will they lay and how often? These are my second chickens ever and my first egg layers.

Thank you so much. She is exactly a year old and she really is the sweetest little thing. I will give her more time and hope for the best.

Thank you anyway. I am very shocked she is laying so many eggs for a Silkie. Now if we can only get one of them to be hard.

Hi all, I bought a silkie hen last weekend. At the time I asked if she was laying yet and the seller said so and produced an egg for me that she had "laid" the morning of the chicken swap. The seller did warn me that she has laid soft eggs before but that it was only when she was stressed and...

Thank you so much! Right now she is the only Silkie I have though at the same swap a friend of mine bought a Silkie chick. I do wish the previous owner would have told me how much work she would need to learn to be an outside hen. I don't regret buying her as she is so sweet but I do feel bad...

Wow that helped alot actually. Thank you very much! So would it be okay if she only has outside time when I am home watching her since she won't use the ramp? I don't want to place her in the run during the day only for her to be unable to walk back into the coop. I will try trimming her feather...

Well she is a very docile little thing but when I tried to add her to the coop with two 5 month old pullets she was very aggressive towards them. She's in her own little coop right now but seems unable or afraid to use the ramp to go down into the grass. Also she already seems to have some waste...

Hi all, I am a new chicken owner (grey Silkie) and I hope this site can give me lots of help because I am already feeling like a failure and over my head with just this one chicken. Thanks so much, Lilac

Hi all, This is my very first chicken a grey Silkie that I got from a swap. She is very gentle and was hand raised as a lap chicken but needed a new home. I wasn't intending on getting a Silkie when I went there but the breed I was looking for was sold out in the first 10 mintues. She is...
