I have an older silkie hen who has been acting strange. She has been completely withdrawn from the flock and stays sitting on her egg She will not leave. Its almost broody-like behavior. I keep her from the coop 10 minutes or so daily and I take away her egg. When I put her out of the coop she...

I thought it was a hen but its aggressive and chases you and it won't lay eggs.

ny son picked out a tiny yellow chick from the store and it grown now and lays about 2 eggs a day. She is really sweet and docile. She is half the size of a sultan. (Photo for reference) these are older pictures she looks the same still only with her comb being red now.) Anybody out there know...

Any ideas? 7 week old sultan bantam pic to come

I repurposed an old baby play yard into a brooder. It's about 3ftx3ft and 2 1/2 feet tall. I made a insertable cardboard liner that lines the bottom and sides, it has plastic lining the bottom for waterproofing in case the water spills or leaks (it also makes for easy cleanup) I recently put in...

My chicks vary in age from 1-2 weeks, I'm not looking to take them out anytime soon since the weather here has been chilly and windy.

I just got my chicks a few days ago. I love them so much and they are more like our kids rather than pets, my husband wakes up in the middle of the night to go check on them. It feels like raising our kids all over again. Worrying about if they're happy or if they're comfy or sick... after the...

Roosters are illegal in my city. I recently bought 4 chicks from tractor supply. Days have gone by and I've noticed one chick is bossy and it looks a tad different from the rest. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or what. I'm a first time chick mom and i really would like to know if there's...

I'm a proud new owner of 4 baby chicks. The internet can be helpful at times but I find the best advice is from fellow chick moms out there.... I finally have the heat lamp adjusted to the perfect temperature where they tend to spread all over to sleep. They will explore kick and play and then...

Just got my chicken coop and I'm getting my three silkie chicks next week (one for each of my little boys). Any silkie people out there in Oklahoma?

My chicks won't be in the coop until April, Ive heard sand is a great flooring for runs. I recently saw play sand at the store that was different colors (for use in kids outdoor sandbox). Could I use this sand for my run? My kids and I love the idea of having colored sand for the coop. Is there...
