    Our first Silkie hatch

    Just wanted to show off my two new little silkie babes. I have a hen that will only sit on her eggs for two or three days and then abandons them so we decided to incubate three of them. Two out of three hatched.. I’m not sure what happened with the third. It was completely developed but never...

    Is this an air cell

    Our Silkie chickens have been laying so well that we have plenty stocked up for eating so decided we would try and incubate a few. They were started on 7/31 so this would be day 2. I know you’re supposed to wait to candle I was just curious if I could see anything...

    Agressive Silkie Rooster

    Thank you everyone for the input! I really hate to see him go but I would much rather keep the peace and everyone (kids and chicks) safe! We aren’t hatching our eggs so we don’t “need” him and if he’s going to be attacking the other chickens and us occasionally he’s definitely going to have to...

    Agressive Silkie Rooster

    4 of our Silkie chickens are around 7 months old. We have 3 hens and 1 rooster and then we have three Silkie “chicks” around 4 months old (unsure of sex but so far no distinct rooster features) Our 7 month old rooster has hit puberty and become occasionally aggressive towards us, the kids, and...

    Lost two ducklings to a hawk

    We always have kept the smaller ones inside the “shop” until they’re bigger but it’s so hot in Texas right now over 100 every day and I didn’t want them to overheat even with a fan on them it’s much cooler outside :( I tried to pick the better option

    Lost two ducklings to a hawk

    They were around 4 weeks old. I am going to rehome the last little duckling until we get this hawk situation figured out, I don’t want any more of them to be eaten :(

    Lost two ducklings to a hawk

    We have free range chickens and ducks. They’re locked in their coops at night and let out in the morning when the sun comes up. The last two days I’ve lost two ducklings, one each day. The first day we didn’t know what took the duckling. Raccoons usually don’t come out in the middle of the day...

    Hen to drake ratio

    Backstory: we bought two ducklings. One Cayuga and one Khaki Campbell.. or so we thought. We were pretty convinced they were both female until recently.. our brown one turned out to be a drake so now we have one hen and one drake but I’ve heard it’s better to have more hens than drakes for the...

    Duck Id please

    She’s always had the white neck ring but recently started getting the iridescent green colorings on her wings ... I know she’s a Khaki Campbell but is this normal Khaki coloring or could she be mixed with something else
