    Very sick hen

    I know this is a very old thread but I was happy to see this reply about MMS which now is CDS. Anyone against taking tons of antibiotics and prescriptions know what this is. I make and take it at first signs of anything or if I'm around someone sick. I have a chicken acting weird, tried...

    Yorkie loves her peeps

    I know she's not a chicken but have to share her story. This is Emily my 2lb Yorkie. She's blind and never leaves my side until I got my Silkies. They live on my back porch and she kept falling out the back door so I had to build a small ramp for her just so she could find her way safely to...

    2025 ANTS RULE and always will...

    Not if I can help it! I hear "only a few, don't worry about it". There's no such thing as a "few" ants. Were there is 1, there is a million. Ants are the smartest, strongest, most relentless creature on this planet. So how do I keep them out of my coup? One thing. Terro Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits...

    Swings and Hanging Toys Caution

    Henhouse floor styles

    Can I piggy back on you? I couldn't comment. I Love the vinyl floors, so easy to clean. The chicken do slip around a bit so I'm thinking of lightly sanding down the shine. (Thank you StinkyAcres)

    Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. I always want to try Non poisonous first. It basically kills everything, doesn't matter what type. It sucks the life out of them & their eggs. You can put about 2% in their food for the worms & parasites. Mix it with peat moss for their dust bath for fleas, mitts &...

    Silkie chicken grooming & bathing butts & feet

    Wanted to share a great natural bristle brush I found for bathing my silkies and keeping their beards, butts & feet clean, without damaging their delicate feathers.

    Any tips on finding silkie hens?

    Being I didn't have room for a large flock, didn't want to wait to find out sex and didn't want to have to re-home later, I chose to buy DNA Sexed. I knew exactly what I wanted and how many. Yes it costs more but now I can 100% fall in love without later heartbreak or disappointment. I...

    Silkie Chicken Care - Eyes

    UPDATE! So I wrapped each one in a towel & stroked their heads till they relaxed. I cut/trimmed (only) from the inside corner of their eyes, forward across beak. I cut until I could look straight forward into their eyes & they could see me. It didn't change their cuteness at all. Then they went...
