My wing test was not very accurate with my silkies, watch for wattle growth. And their fluff on the top of head. That was the earliest indicator for mine, girls are puffier and stand up more and boy tends to be silkier and slick back
I'm looking to start a very small indoor garden for my chickens in the winter?
What is the fastest growing grass like plant I can give my chickens?
Wheat berries?

Yea, my favorite rooster, Lister, and 2 of my hens will always pile into a single nest box. Thanks for the reply, I didn't know if that was normal or not!
So I am very new to the site and new to chickens,
I have 10 chickens, 9 Silkes and 1 Barred rock. 4 of my silkies are roosters, they are very mellow, only one even acts like a rooster. I am looking to get rid of at least 2 of my roosters to good homes. They are beautiful, I have a silver, white...
So... A few questions for those who have owned Silkies before...
There was a mix up at the hardware store where I got them and I ended up with 13 Silky Bantams and 1 Barred Rock, will this full size bird pick on my bantams? They are only about a month old and the Barred Rock towers over them...
