    Conversations with my Silver Sebright hen Willie

    I may be crazy, but I honestly believe that my Silver Sebright hen Willie understands me. I'll ask her a question and she makes a little noise. Or like yesterday when I was talking ABOUT Willie in her presence to my mom but before I could get my full sentence out to express what I was talking...

    can I stop broody hen, if so, how?

    I guess I was mean in how I got one of our chickens to get off her eggs. She was a biter and I noticed that she had one chick to hatch and it was dead. I put on long sleeves, work gloves, picked her up from the nest and threw her out in the yard then closed the chicken house door. The dead...

    Help...I hate my Rooster.

    Our Sebrights lay anywhere from daily to every other day. Bertha, who is probably pushing 5 years old, has retired I believe as far as egg laying goes. I do know that when all those baby chickens are tiny babies, it's not a good idea to sit and swing your foot to watch that tiny chick jump...

    TRAINING CHICKENS TO GO ROOST AT NIGHT ????

    Did you try picking them up and setting them on the roost? I know that sounds simple, but that's how we got our "toddler" chickens to know where to sleep in their new house. To get our house (indoor) chickens ready for bed, I start turning all the lights off in the house & tell them "it's...

    Help...I hate my Rooster.

    Our Three Chickenteers (Silver Sebright roosters) who seem to not be able to do anything alone but have to do everything as a unit, sometimes think they should run up behind us to flog us. What puts the breaks on their attempts at their flogging is for us to turn around and walk toward them...

    This is the strangest chicken I've ever had.

    My little Silver Sebright hen Willie would like to say: Don't all chickens follow people around all day like little puppies? That's what I do! Great passenger btw!!

    Why do hens crow?

    One of my Silver Sebright hens who still sleeps in my mother's house is a crower. She seems to do this if she becomes irritated or impatient. When she was younger and we were still unsure what sex she was (hence the name Willie), "it" crowed & we were disappointed since we didn't really need...

    Agressive breeds

    Silver Sebrights can be mean if you don't get your bluff in on them at an early age. The Three Chickenteers (roosters) we have think they are "all that and a bag of chips'' as well as "God's gifts to any hen" try to flog me occasionally... as I'm walking away from them. I stop, turn around...

    Why would my Silver Sebright hen crow?

    She's my vane Silver Sebright hen that still sleeps in my mother's house & lays her egg in that house, whether in her nest I've provided or on the couch next to me as I sit there talking to my mother. It seems that when she gets irritated or mad, she crows. Hoping that she would be a hen in...

    Our Easter Silver Sebrights

    She certainly is! She looks like a blow-fish when anyone gets around her and her babies. But she doesn't go "bonkers" and bite and/or attack. A previous Silver Sebright hen named Hennie was also a good setter who had 2 sets of babies: David, Fonnie & Willie. Sadly, the original Hennie was...
