Hi. I have a 9 month old silkie hen who hatched chicks 3 weeks ago and they're brooding in my house. Today I noticed my hen has a little clear liquid dripping from her beak and she sounds like she may be weezing occasionally. Any ideas of what this could be and how to treat her? Her chicks...

Hi A few weeks ago my silkie hen went broody on one egg. She has been on it for about 21 days now. When I candled it a few days ago, it appears to have a chick. I couldn't tell if it was alive. Two days ago my broody hen started laying eggs again and she just keeps adding them to the one she's...

Any ideas? 7 week old silkies.

Hi. This is my 7 week old easter egger. I have read that easter eggers don't have combs and wattles. Mine clearly does. Also, No. 1, named due to the fact it hatched first, behaves mostly like a pullet. However, the last week seems to be trying to crow in the mornings. Although it doesn't...

Hi, my husband and I are new to chickens. We have 8 chicks that are 7 weeks old. 7 silkies and an Easter egger. We were given eggs by a friend. Two easter eggers hatched. One only lived a few hours. The eight are doing well and growing fast! They're so interesting and we really enjoy sitting...
