    Respiratory infection - recovery and reintegration?

    Thanks for your response! The stridor only lasted 12 hours or so, then she started sneezing. I purchased her with 8 others from tractor supply as babies, but the silkies were in the discount bin - they were older, bigger, and 25 cents inch. Maybe a week old or so? Shes eating and drinking fine...

    Respiratory infection - recovery and reintegration?

    Sooo backstory here...Wednesday morning, I noticed one of my 7 week old silkie pullets making a funny noise when she was breathing. It wasn't a wheeze coming from her lungs, necessarily, but more of a vocalization with every breath - like coming from her voice, a purring noise with every breath...

    Silkies (I think?) - gender?!

    So as an update, these are the two that have distinct features. Our third (not pictured) looks like a mix between the two - acts like a rooster, but isn't developing the wattles the other one is. Safe to say the one with the comb and wattles is a roo at this point? He acts like one. The one I...

    Will my chicks be safe in the garage?

    We have our 4 week olds in the garage - moved them out about a week ago. Temps got pretty low last night - around 20 degrees...they did ok but I wished I had a second heat lamp for them this morning. They were around 60-65 degrees under the lamp, a bit cold but acting fine. I adjusted their heat...

    Cream Legbars - pullets?

    I'm back with one more sexing question..haha! Just picked up these two cream legbars, sold to me as pullets. They're a week old. I know this breed is autosexing and I think they are both females, but one is quite a bit lighter in color than the other so I thought I'd post here to get some...

    Silkies (I think?) - gender?!

    Thanks so much for your reply! I've been handling the two that I think are roosters a lot more and they haven't bitten me in the last couple days. I'm a little concerned about what we're doing with them when it's time to make a decision on their fate - we can only have 1 rooster, max, and it's...

    Silkies (I think?) - gender?!

    Hey there! We acquired, what we were told, were 3 Silkies a couple weeks ago. We were told they were 3 days old but I believe they're a bit older than we were told. I think they're around 4 weeks old now? They're all rather aggressive - they chase each other, fight with each other, peck at me...

    Hi from PA!

    Hi there! I've been browsing here from a bit now so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a new chicken owner in the Pittsburgh, PA area. We have 9 chickens currently - 4 ISA's, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 3 white Silkies (I think, anyway, haha!). We just finished our coop and hopefully a few more...
