    Silkie with weird disease/condition, please help.

    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...

    When do you lock down Serama eggs?

    First time hatcher here...I'm assuming it's earlier than normal since they have a shorter incubation time? Thanks in advance! :)

    Anybody have a good Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion chart they can share?

    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...

    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.

    Is she trying to talk to me?!

    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...

    Nanny cam in the coop? Anyone ever done it?
