So my Silkie, Big Bird, is 6 and a half. She is vaccinated for Marek's, and I've had her since she was a day old.
A few months ago, she started doing this occasionally. At night I would find her outside in the run, laying on her back, unable to get up. I would pick her up, put her in the coop...
(Repost) Hi there. I have two little boys that I need to rehome. I hatched them from Silkie mothers and the fathers were either AC or Serama, or both. They are healthy, nice little cockerels. I just have too many boys and need to find good homes for them. I live in Ocean County, NJ.

Hi, hope I posted this in the right forum!
I recently lost my beloved AC roo, Lafayette, and am looking for another (friendly) roo for my girls. I live in South/Central NJ, if anyone has an AC roo they are looking to get rid of. Thanks! :)
Hi, first time hatcher here. I have 6 seramas out of 6 that hatched, and I have 2 BC eggs in there as well. It's Day 21.
I had to take one of the seramas out because I have another one in there whose umbilical cord was a little bloody and still attached, and I didn't want the older serama...
First time hatcher here, and of course my incubator is in Celsius. I'm getting a backup hygrometer/thermometer for it, but was wondering if anyone had a chart they could share for quick reference, to compare? I know how to convert, but that is way too much math and hassle for me, lol!
Thanks...
Hi all,
8 month old Mille Fleur D'Uccle pullet. Very happy healthy and active up till now.
Not sure if she is laying yet--don't think she is, have her in a coop/run with 8 other pullets.
Came home from work today and her comb is purple Feet look normal. She was out in the run wth the other...
The hub is getting seriously PO'd at me because I spend so much time on here. I can't stop. I think I need a 12 Step program. I seriously am developing callouses on my left butt cheek from sitting in my computer position on the couch for so long.
Thank god I'm not on social media. They would...
I'm dying for my first-ever egg. My first batch of pullets are 22 weeks--3 silkies, a Mille Fleur d'Uccle, and a bantam cochin. My second batch are two 20 week Ayam Cemanis and a younger stunted one.
No eggs as of yet, although my cochin has had the reddest, plumpest comb ever, red wattles, and...
This is Big Bird. She is a 3 week old white (I think) Silkie pullet(I think) from mypetchicken.com.
She is, simply, The Most Beautiful Chicken in the World. At least, to me.
I never knew my heart could split wide open and a tiny yellow ball of fluff could bring me to tears. But she does. I am...
So I'm a brand-new chicken girl. I noticed this thing my almost 3-week old babies do sometimes. They are perfectly healthy, happy and beautiful. I'm thinking it's just a chicken thing, but I can't find it anywhere.
Sometimes one or two will look at me and open their mouth, like they are...
OK, am I being paranoid, or has anyone ever used a nanny cam for their coop/run? I'm worried about when I finally put my babies outside (they're only 2.5 weeks old, but I like to plan ahead) and I'm not home...seems like a nanny cam would be an awesome investment. Anybody done this?
I moved...
Oh man, I bought these yesterday. They were like 27 bucks. I can't wait to slog through chicken poop in 'em. They are STYLING. Check it out...

I love me some Groupon!
I don't know if that's a word--is it? But...I am a chickenaholic. There is something wrong with me. I LOVE my chickens. I am obsessed by my chickens. I want more chickens. I go through my workday in a haze, treating human patients, all the while pining to go home and play with my baby chicks...
