Hi all! We rescued a little Roo (we are pretty certain he is) from a farm because he was getting bullied and picked on and his feathers eaten and it was heartbreaking to watch because he is so sweet. We're pretty sure he was bullied out of eating food because when we brought him home for the...
Hi all - hoping you'd be able to help on through here ... I'm a first-time silkie owner (and have only had chickens for about a year now, all of whom we love and care for deeply). We have about 7 young chicks of different breeds (2 black Marans pullets, 1 olive egger cockerel, 1 silkie cockerel...
