    Planting some plants for your chickens

    We are in zone 9 and I agree that turnips did very well and helped feed our flock for a long time in a small backyard. I kind of haphazardly sprinkled the Renee's Garden cover crop tin around and cut some for the chickens when it got too high. They were free-ranged gradually, and between that...

    New layers laying too many eggs?

    We have two silkie pullets and one sizzle cockerel, all hatched last October. He's been crowing for months and is now mating with the girls. We got our first (ever) egg last Saturday! Not sure who it was, but we're now getting more so I know both are laying. However, we got FOUR eggs today...

    Smooth Sizzle Roosters — One black, one splash (Sacramento/Yolo counties)

    We have two smooth sizzle roosters that must go. They are 4.5 months old. We got them from California Country Ranch. They are curious, friendly birds. They both need new homes now that they're crowing. We would love to trade for chicks or laying hens of any breed, but $5 apiece works too. We...

    silkie sexing

    Spurs—do they mean anything on a silkie? I read they can't tell gender but I was wondering if it was like 25/75 or really 50/50.

    The Sizzle Thread!

    Thanks for all your replies! Chicken keeping might be the most beginner-friendly hobby I've ever tried. Thank you! This is so helpful. I've never had a fresh egg or fresh meat so I'm thrilled. I think the rest of the family will warm up to the idea after a chicken dinner or two. I looked for...

    The Sizzle Thread!

    Ready to join the sizzles club with a black and (I think) a splash: Little (named by 4yo son, hehe) is turning out much more solid black than I first thought. I think s/he has a vaulted head, right? My son asks to play with him every day but I suspect he may be a roo. :( Heisenbird...

    What do I need to free range silkies in a small yard?

    Thanks for your help! We do have hawks and I'm sure there's at least one cat. Looks like I will be buying some hardware cloth next month. And the month after that, and the one after probably, considering the price, lol. Thanks for the netting tip! We're all shorter than the fence so that might...

    What do I need to free range silkies in a small yard?

    I spent the weekend building our coop for six silkies and sizzles. (We can have up to six hens—to start with we have four chicks.) It's pretty darn sad but solid and good while we learn more about what our chickens like and need. I wouldn't bet on it being super predator proof, but I have a hard...
