Thank you @beetandsteet, @Whittniand @ftfarmer22. I figure it will continue to get better and each day is. Just sorrow around the manor. My established flock never really squabbled, pecking order just easily fell into place. Only had a problem with one hen getting picked one once. I put Vicks on...

Hey chicken lovers, I need your advice. We acquired 2 standard polish hens named Cornpop (black) and Pineapple(buff laced) from friends who were moving. These hens were the reason we decided on hens Our established flock consists of 2 standard buff laced polish, 2 buff brahma bantams, and 2...

Thank you for your advice ChickensAreSweet. I got the 4 from my pet chicken, and then new 2 buff laced polish bantams from a really good feed store here in town. Seem to be healthy. Cleaned them up and let them loose.

New to the chicken world. It's amazing so far!! I have 4 baby bantams, and was thinking of adding 2 white silkies the same age. How long should I quarantine? Thanks for any advice.
