    Any closer to a determination?

    How do I free range my chickens with a Fox in the woods??

    Since I am suffering from the same problem, is there a particular type of legtrap or live trap that anyone here recommends? We also have barn cats, so how would I keep them from becoming ensnared? Thanks!

    How do I free range my chickens with a Fox in the woods??

    I’d love to see what you’re talking about with a fake entrance- do you have any pics? Or could you do a quick doodle?

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    The flock gets Nutrena Natural Egg Producer Pellets; we keep the feeders filled in their pen, and then we let them free-range during the day as they please. She’s still laying them... Hey, if she keeps this up, I can sell them as artisanal health food eggs: pure protein, no messy yolk to discard! 😜

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    Is there something I can do to help flush out her system, so to speak? Or should this clear up in its own?

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    Oops, I should have mentioned- she’s not quite a year old, started laying full sized eggs about 3 months ago. No, no yolks, just egg white. Does that mean something?

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    Hi, Chickenhivemind. Since going broody, setting a clutch near to hatching, then having said clutch destroyed by another vengeful velociraptor approximately two days before hatch day, my French copper maran has been laying nothing but witch/fairy eggs. I’ve attached a photo of the last two, with...

    Strange feathers, what variety of Silkie?

    Yes!! Those are the type; not pinfeathers, but full feathers of their own type- your photo is better than mine. :) Glad to see yours are still there, maybe mine will stay, too! ☺️

    Strange feathers, what variety of Silkie?

    They are absolutely right! The only problem is, they are too young for that, and these are growing out of her tail! 😇

    How long between peep and pip?

    Thanks! Now to try to figure who’s who- I have a black silki roo, white silkie roo, and a French copper maran roo, and BPR, RIR, Speckled Sussex, BO, FCM, and Australorp hens. No idea who covered whom when... 😆

    How long between peep and pip?

    I’m so happy, all 10 of them hatched yesterday! One died in the night in the brooder- I’m not sure why, as it popped out of its shell so hard I expected it to come out tap dancing, so it seemed strong enough- but the other nine are perky and happy! That’s way better than I expected. 🥰

    How long between peep and pip?

    Thank you so much! First time incubating eggs, and I was pretty worried! ☺️

    How long between peep and pip?

    Heard the first peep from the incubator this afternoon (day 20), but I don’t see any eggs that have pipped (incubator has windows). How long can the chick survive before suffocating?

    Mini peacock feathers on Silkie?

    So very cute!! Must be a random trait, as none of my previous had them. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Mini peacock feathers on Silkie?

    That would be awesome, when you have a chance!

    Mini peacock feathers on Silkie?

    So the little flared bits at the end of each feather that look like polka dots are signs of a male? Or is it just the fact that the feathers are longer?

    Mini peacock feathers on Silkie?

    Anyone? Is this common?

    Mini peacock feathers on Silkie?

    Has anyone ever seen feathers like these? Do they come from a particular breed? They’ve grown out of both the tail and wings of a few of my five week old silkies...
