two years old in...
I have been having a hard time finding a good home that is able to have roosters and willing to take him as one of their own he is splash silkie rooster named Charlie. Reason is due to rules in Dedham no roosters
And also for the most part I do let them in the run only but so many animals had dug into the coop I’ve seen a skunk and opossum before so anything can really just make it’s way in the coop no matter what I was thinking to put some kind of traps around but I don’t want anything like rabbits...
No I opened there door at 430 but they didn’t come out until 530 one of the two roosters he is the alpha one he was crowing as usual inside the nesting area I have a feeling what ever it was heard it and came for them I believe it could of been a raccoon but I’ve never seen any whatsoever in my...
Thanks for the advise I actually did have hibiclens i did use it after I tried to clean more dirt off him and had to rinse off the cornstarch that I heard helps the bleeding to stop, he seemed very calm through out everything what he went through poor thing must of been in so much pain but Thank...
This morning around 4 am let my silkies out of their nesting area as you can see it has a small door on one side of the coop for them to free range and have more space most of the time they freely roam our yard but lately we have been seeing lots of hawk and skunks and as well opossums lurking...

Yes they are tricky last month people told me the one with the large comb is definitely a cockerel it is more friendlier which I heard cockerels tend to be less frightened and more friendly
Yes these are the only two I have I usually get 1 to 2 eggs a day as of Tuesday there’s 3 eggs there’s two nesting boxes but they always sit in one box together i don’t know if that means anything
About 8 months old I’ve been told one is definitely male and the other female I’ve been incubating some eggs since March to see if any of them are fertile and haven’t had any of them fertile. I have cracked a few before incubation and noticed that some are fertilized but I haven’t had any luck...
Thanks! That’s what I thought first one might be a cockerel. But Unfortunately the second one will not stay too close or still for any pictures seems very fidgety I wanted to make sure that they weren’t both pullets.
I have two silkie chickens that are 7 months old and either one or both of them laid 8 eggs in one nesting box not sure which one it was can anyone tell if both are females or one is male ? Thanks!
They both are same color.
This one I think might be a male he/she seems more friendly and stays...
I have two blue 2 week old silkies. One has a tiny comb while the other has none can anyone give me any ideas on what gender they both are ? And also if anyone can guess what type of silkies are they? I know it’s too early but I’m sure many of you raising silkies have some idea on it
I never got a straight answer. I have read that you need a certain large amount of acres in order to have chickens in Dedham but I have noticed that they do not allow chickens in Roslindale MA but I have seen maybe 5 homes few blocks apart with very small yards that I don’t even consider them as...
