    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I am picking this boy up tomorrow. Hes a bit of a trek but as soon as I saw the photo I knew he was the right one. My plan is to use him and some unrelated hens to set up my own line of silkies and showgirls in the red Pyle colour he has. Its not recognised or correct in the UK and neither is...

    Introducing 3 day old chicks to 8 week old chicks

    I've got 3 week olds out with adults so it can work. Mine are placid hens and I have a panic roo type of thing set up, plenty of room for them and more than one feeder and drinker. I do it every time, although I normally wait till 4 or 5 weeks but the weather in the UK is very, very hot at the...

    Blue or something else?

    I love seeing how they change! I had a gold/buff silkie that initially feathered out with chocolate barred feathers that had to be smutty buff.. Its the loveliest soft gold colour now, no smutty anywhere. You think you know what they are but they like to do their own thing! This one is gorgeous...

    Blue or something else?

    What colour is this chick? Ive never seen one this colour. It looks blue but not quite. It was from bought in eggs from a breeder trying to breed mauve and blue dun. Its maybe slightly lighter in real life and there isnt such a strong contrast, it's more of a uniform colour

    Must-Have Breeds for a Beautiful Unique Flock?

    Mine is a feisty little thing with other cocks but never with his hens or people. In fact I am always recommending the breed based on him. Hes a proper little sweetheart. Likes to be picked up and loves attention. He loves climbing up on your shoulder and riding about. Hes always first to greet...

    Integrating...Again...

    Perfect! Then when you are ready start letting them free range under supervision. When they settled you can always attach that coop to the run and make it so only the polands can get in. That way it works like a panic room for them.

    One Week Chicken Treats

    I give them live crickets once every 10 days or so and eggs if we have too many. They also get to go out on nice days and dig around in the garden. I've always found they arent interested in anything else until they get a little older. I raise silkies and showgirls who lay down a lot of...
