    Loud chirping chick

    Id say she'd fine, there could be different reasons that she is being loud but as long as the others are comfortable and she doesn't appear to have anything causing discomfort, then id say she's most l likely doing it as a social reaction. Perhaps she sees something as a threat nearby ( you can...

    Questions about my first flock and egg laying...

    They make waterers with heated bases or other heating elements that prevent them from freezing. Or you can just go the old school method of rotating waterers. I will keep 2 sets ( of how ever many I use) and I keep one inside and then one outside with the chickens, once the outside one freezes...

    Removing chicks from the Mother hen

    You should be wary of leaving momma hen with the rest of the flock. Chickens can be brutal and it’s possible that some of the other mem ever of the flock might go after the chicks and momma can get caught in the cross fire trying to protect her babies. If your coop is large enough you can...

    Silkie Attacked, Neck wound. Need Help

    she isn't new and has been raised with majority of my flock. I do have 3 silkie roosters but none of them have ever acted rough with any of the girls before. the one is always with my standard chickens, the other one is fairly young (hatched july13th) and the last one never caused problems with...

    Head STUCK out of shell, Straightening Neck after hatch?

    it does seem to get worse with stress. I think it is more of a muscular issue then nerve system.

    Silkies and others. I love chickens

    I have no actually incubated any yet. Although I know it’s possible because I’ve seen the silkie Roos are able to do it. I did actually do one rhode island red and silkie cross. He is beautiful, but normal skin color, extra toe, walnut comb, red type of feathers, but feathered feet and stayed...

    Silkie Color Variations

    Thanks yeah they are all together in one group right now. I just started really experimenting with breeding this year. It started as more of an educational adventure for my children but then all these crazy colored chicks came out so we just kinda ran with it. Eventually I’d like to separate...

    Silkie chick color variations

    Silkies and others. I love chickens

    Hello I am the owner of 3 leghorns, 2 Rhode Island reds, 10 adult silkies and about 40 chicks. I had upwards of 22 adults but I am a sucker for people that had their flock attacked or whatever happens that then they end up with just one chicken so I rehomed quite a few adults this year. so the...
