    Silkie thread!

    Thank you! I love the idea of owning silkies! I do want some reliable egg layers and am planning on a mixed flock of perhaps 12 chickens. I want at least four of those to be silkies though! (1) Do silkies get along well with other breeds of chickens? I would like to try some Auststralops...

    Oh, on another note...(sorry I'm full of questions!) I would like to start with 12 chicks. My primary purpose is for pet/egg laying. If I have 12 chickens how many nesting boxes should I build?

    Thank you. Do you cook the rice or do they eat it raw? Also, has anyone tried Apple Cider Vinegar in water for baby chicks to prevent pasty butt? And....in your experience....when is the best time to take the baby chicks from under the heat lamp?

    Oh, I do have a few more questions. How much feed does a chicken eat? (like 1/4 cup a day?) And do you feed them twice a day? Also...how many nesting boxes should a chicken coop have? Say you have eight chickens...do you need eight nesting boxes??

    Hello, I live in Florida and would like to start a flock of chickens. I have never owned chickens before but I am researching everything I need to know. I would like to know what kind of chicken breed would do well in the Florida heat, be a heavy egg layer and have a friendly temperament...
