Hello, I'm tentatively looking for a new home for all my chicken family in the NC VA area. These girls are my pets and friends, I've raised them all from babies and they are super friendly and healthy. I'm looking for a new owner who wants to take them in as friends and not food. I have 2 silver...

Hi! Just wanted to pick some brains and see if I'm missing any options. I have 10 chickens, 6 adults and 4 babies. We have to move across the country in a month. Shipping them via express looks like it's about $80 a box, plus the $20 or so For the box, and I love them but I can't afford $700 in...

Ok so I have a 7 month old roo who attacked the heck out of my hen this morning, pulled all of the feathers from the back of her head and neck, and shes bleeding. I have her seperated for now, is there anything I can do for her? Out of 5 adults, the roo is the third in the pecking order, and he...

Is there a way to compost it without a composter, so I can use it in my garden?

They are about 4 weeks old, so I know its young, but I wasnt sure if there were any tells with these breeds. Two are mille fluer d'uccles, and one is a wc polish.

He was roosting with the girls for awhile, but I htink they pick on him so he's moved across the coop to the nests, and he poops in them >.< any ideas on how to get him to go back?

Lost my silkie chick, who was about 2 weeks old. She ate and everything fine, had poop stuck to her bum the first couple days I had her, but not lately. We found her with a huge poop stuck to her bum, at least the circumference of a quarter. Does that sound like anything anyone has heard of?

I have a silkie who was broody and sat on a clutch and raised a great chick for about 4 months. Is it possible that she would tend to my new 4 day old chicks?

Can I get a 101 on how to set up and what to expect/ what I need with this? My silkie was broody and hatched 1 egg today, and she seems to be a good mama so far. She's in a large coop with 3 other chickens and is the alpha chicken. The coop floor is dirt and a little straw. I was thinking a...

My silkie has been sitting on some adoptive eggs for 17 days now. My expletive deleted dogs have been sneaking in the coop whenever the mama is out stretching her legs and eating her eggs, so she was down to 2 as of today. Until just now, when I spaced and left to coop door open when I was...

I need a little help, my chickens just started laying this week, and they lay in this little spot under the roosts against the wall. I have 1 silkie so thats why the hay ramp and 3wide roost. If thats not there she huddles sadly under the nesting box by herself. Any ideas on rearranging? Or a...

I have 3 unknown sex silkies and 3 supposed to be female chicks (2 SLW and 1 EE). They are all from 2-7 weeks. There's one silkie who I suspect is a boy from attitude from the start, hes 7 weeks now. The other 2 I'm not sure about, they are 6weeks ish. They are pretty passive. Anyway, they all...

Hi! This is Michael Bolton, do you think he's a girl or boy? He (she) is about 5 weeks old. 2 more, the white and black have the same comb, single-ish with little bumps in a row, and the partridge has a wider different comb

Im pretty sure I'm allergic to chickens. We kept them in the house for a couple days but I noticed my nose was itching, and we moved them to the garage. Im still a mess even after a good house cleaning, but Ive been handling the babies daily. We might have to return the chicks at this point...

I have this great window I picked up at an antique store a while ago, and was thinking maybe I could install it somehow into my coop? I'm not quite sure what to google for how to install it into a coop though, I know the general idea on framing for a window, but am not sure how to actually put...

Hey Im in Coastal NC and working on my coop, can someone critique the ventilation? Also, if you used a metal roof, how does the rain not go in the top? Our rain goes sideways pretty often around here.

Is this normal chickie behavior or is the little black one a bully? [VIDEO]

So, first off, he said the silkies are a week to two weeks, but they look a little rough? Is there any way to tell yet if they are girls/boys? Is there anything I'm missing at this point? How does the brooder look? Should I toss in a dirt/weed clump yet or is that not until another week? Is it...
