    Dry skin on silkies face!

    Hi, today I was holding my silkie pullet and realised she had dry skin all over her face. It's not lice eggs, it's sort of flaky. It was covering one eye. I got a damp cotton pad and gently wiped her face. It cleared lots of the dry skin around and on her eye. Her eye is looking normal. It's not...

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    The only other silkie I have is a partridge pullet same age as her. I probably won't breed her for now... as I'm happy with the amount of hens now. But I might in the future.

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    Unfortunately I don't know who her parents were. I have my lesson learned to never buy from poultry sales again, even if they do have the fancier breeds. The seller only told me they were pullets. He was busy selling other birds and didn't have time to talk unfortunately. I also don't like the...

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    Ooh, I wasn't sure as when I googled the buff silkies they were so much darker than she is. I have no idea what age she is but she doesn't sound like a chick anymore, my 'teenagers' cheep a little but she screams! Hopefully she'll lay an egg soon. Thank you

    What colour is my silkie pullet?

    Hi, I have Hennefir my silkie pullet for a little over a month and is stumped at what colour she is. I'm leaning towards a mix of a few colours, if anyone knew what colours she's mixed with or maybe she's a colour that I have not come across yet.

    Automatic door

    My omlet door came today, it's great so far. I have the app to open it and close it and to turn on the light. I'm trusting that it'll open itself in the mornings, I'll be around for the first few. But I always will be there to make sure it'll be closed and all the hens are in.

    One of my buff orpingtons have stopped eating yesterday, the others are fine. She doesnt look too bad. They have electrolytes in theur water. I gave her an injection with engimycin, and hopefully I'll see some results by tomorrow. If not I'm ringing the vet.

    Peachick sexing

    It's still early and it could change, but I'm saying male so far, in another month or 2 you can tell for sure, if it's a hen the barring will molt out.

    Hens or roosters

    I feel the red one behind the whitish one in the second pic is giving pullet vibes, but I'm no expert!

    Automatic door

    Hi, I'm thinking of buying an automatic door, as during winter I have to let my flock out just before sunrise. I have a few questions... What brand is best? Is solar better than battery operated? Can I set it to open at say 9 o' clock and would I be able to close it whenever I need too or do I...

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    My girls decided to throw all their feed out of their feeder and onto the ground, then they proceeded to scream at me to put more in their feeder as they are too royal to eat feed off the floor!

    Sesame is thankfully back to his normal cheeky self! The medication from the vets helped him slowly. Thanks

    What does close my flock mean? Does it mean not adding any new birds to it?

    Coop ideas

    Hi, I am looking for a coop to hold 8 hens, the coops I see for sale are either too small, a waste of money or way to expensive. So I'm thinking of making my own, what size should it be to hold 8 hens? Any ideas are appreciated Thanks

    Help salmon faverolle not eating

    The last chick that was sick, her name was Croissant died this evening. I feel really bad for my last faverolle Clarice as she and Croissant had a very close bond. My vet said if she died I could bring her to a lab for a necropsy but I'm worried I they died from an illness that the others would...

    Help salmon faverolle not eating

    The chicks were so much better when I was giving them their last injection today, they were chatting a lot compared to the dead silence it used to be, and they wolfed down food and tried to flap away when they were getting their injection. Thank you so much for your help, and at least only 2 out...
