My silkies were bullied for a while but they were eventually accepted into the flock. My silkies can handle pretty hot temperatures. Made it through a 46°c day without much problems. Try not to keep them in the rain unless you want drenched silkies. They don't have waterproof feathers like most...
I put them in a small cage on the ground just under the perch so the adults aren't able to get to them. I tried the perch and it ended with the chicks being thrown off the perch. Thanks
I'm so sorry that it happened to your favourite chicken. I lost my favourite chicken at the start of 2024. She was an Isa Brown and had a limp. She always let me pick her up and would sit on my lap to eat food I gave her. Then in January of 2024, I came home and she had a big wound under her...
I have two 8 week old chicks (a Light Sussex and a Cream Legbar) and I have started leaving them in the coop during the day with my existing flock, they get along very well now after a few days together so I'm wondering if they should be kept in the coop at night as well. Thanks
