    Chicks and hens, how to get them living together.

    I'll be following this question. I have a Silkie hen with two chicks and I listened when I was told to get her away from the flock when chicks hatched. Bad move. The problem isn't the older birds going after the chicks, it's just the opposite. One broody hen wants to join mama and sit with her...

    Baby chicks

    I have checked for mites and I don't see anything. I'm pretty sure she's going to want to go in the nesting box, which is her favorite spot. I'm just going to have to watch and figure this out. Great ideas here. Thank you!

    Introducing chicks

    Hi, I am fairly new to raising chickens. I have four Silky hens who are absolutely adorable and loving. A Bantam hen and a mean, nasty Bantam rooster. They were all raised together. They would all sit on my lap and come running to me. Until the rooster turned on me, I'm lucky he's little. The...
