    Silkie thread!

    We have 4 hyline chickens and 1 rescue orpington (I think, not 100% sure), and another big-ish brown hen. Earlier in the year we had two silkies but one was a roo so we couldn't keep him, so then we just had the one girl. When we had our roo, he kept the other girls in line so she was ok and...

    My three silkie girls (around 6 m/o) laid their first egg today!! I knew they would start laying soon but didn't expect that they would all start on the same day <3 The eggs are pretty small but hopefully they will get bigger over time! The third egg was cracked when a big gust of wind came...

    Hi BYCers! I have a question, what colour would you call these 3? #1 - She is mostly black but her underfeathers are grey. She's my favourite, she is so evenly tempered and loves to snuggle <3 (a shot of her underfeathers) #2 - She is mostly grey with a red tinge, also...

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts on the mystery chook. We followed her when it got dark just now and she went over a few fences and flew up a tree to roost. Guessing thats where she has been sleeping.. still not sure where/who her owners are.

    We have had a friendly visitor the last couple of days. This black/greenish chicken came by herself and now hangs out with my silkies, haha. Our bigger chickens don't like having her around tho. What kind of chicken is she?

    Silkie thread!

    Today was a terrible rainy day and my yellow girl had gotten herself fully soaked running around outside. I was worried that she might be too cold since its getting on winter here. She kept squatting down when I went to see her so I ended up picking her up with a towel and blow-drying her. She...

    We don't have roosters so she isn't sitting on any eggs (although maybe I should give her some golf balls or something so she can get out of her broodyness earlier?) so I'm not worried about her leaving the nest. I'll try buy something like you said that hangs off the side so she can't knock it over

    Silkie thread!

    Hi all! My hen has gone broody on me. I just have a few questions.. do I have to encourage her to take breaks/take her out of the coop? I keep food for her but our waterer is outdoors because they have spilt it in the coop a few times, and the girls free range all day. I have been keeping the...
