I tried that with mine because I wanted to give her water in a syringe, but when I got to the third step, she shook her head side to side and wouldn't hold her mouth open. Do you know how I can stop this?
Thank you,

We live urban too but if the chooks aren't too loud and if you explain to your neighbours that its only for a short while, it should be okay.
Good luck
Agreed! I think the best thing to do would be to wait it out a few months to see if they lay eggs. Although, that could depend on if you live in the country or urban areas. Could be a bit of trouble from your neighbours if its urban!
I have 2 silkies, both hens (they lay eggs) and they crow. It sounds like you have described, a hoarse noise. Also, it might help to know when they crow. For example, mine crow when another chicken is laying an egg (they think the nest box is all theirs!), or when the other silkie is broody...
So, I'm new to BYC and I have 2 questions.
1) I have read through the 'MUST READ' article and it says that when you do 25 posts, you become a New Egg, at 50 posts, you become a Newly Hatched (they may not be the right info, but it's the right gist). I'm wondering what it means by posts. Is it...
Sounds like a similar situation to me! Whenever we go on holidays, our chickens start laying eggs but when we get home, they go broody after about 3 weeks. I think its all the cuddles and warmth the chooks get!! :)
When I'm scrolling down reading replies to questions, I see that some people have a quote/description at the bottom of the box with their reply.
Anyone know how you get this?
Thanks,
Demi
