    Rooster?

    I have 2 Silkies who are 13 and 1/2 weeks old who I am still not positively sure the gender of. Do roosters have bumps on the back of their leg called spurs? Today I found a little bump on my blue Silkie a little pointy at the end. I heard all roosters have these and was wondering if hens...

    Pooping in next boxes

    The coop is not gigantic because we only have four chickens so the nest boxes are the same level as the ground of the coop. We do have a roost which I know our Buff Orpington and Dominique go up on, but I don't think the Silkies do. Although the roost is not very far off the ground. I could try...

    Silkie thread!

    I have 2 13 and 1/2 week old Silkies. They are so cute and fluffy, and have an adorable personality! I am not sure if they are roosters or hens yet but am hoping they are both hens! One is a blue named Baby and one I am unsure the color of named Mimi. It is either a blue or a splash. It has the...

    Pooping in next boxes

    I have four chickens, 2 Silkies 13 and 1/2 weeks old, one Buff Orpington 14 weeks old, and one Dominique 14 weeks old. They have been pooping a lot in their nest boxes.

    Bird Poop

    Yes. They are other non chicken birds. They seem to like pooping near the chickens! That is a good idea!

    What Gender Are These Silkies?

    We thought if there was one rooster, the dark blue would be it because it showed a little rooster like behavior when it was younger (not anymore) when it would jump into the other chickens while they were pecking the ground. I also heard the light blue or maybe splash one had a defect because...

    Bird Poop

    Our chicken coop has gotten bird poop (more than usual) on the roof and on the tree next to it. Are other birds attracted to chickens? Also when they were little chicks birds were pooping on the patio outside the door where the chickens were kept. Is there a way to stop this? Thanks!
