    What do YOU use in your RUN??

    We've recently been letting our 5.5week-7week olds out to play in the warm afternoons. However our run is just bare dirt/old grass. They seem to like it but I feel like they'd enjoy a little better run material. I keep reading about what to use for the coop base (we're trying out the deep...

    Afraid I'm going to miss the first crow

    We currently have 22 chicks - most are 7 weeks old today, but two are 6 weeks old today and four are 5 weeks, 4 days old. We moved them out to their coop with heat a week ago, and I'm assuming that at least 2 of the babies are roos. However I'm wondering if we'll be able to even hear the...

    "Silkies" Obviously not! What are we and possible gender?

    “Silkies” grey ones are 40 days old, the other 4 are 30 days old: Bliss (Black) & Splash – were told these are Black & Splash silkies. Def are not. Don’t know what they are and I *hope* at least one is a girl Sasha – only one that is really looking like a silkie, but think it’s a HE...

    Chicks at 40 days old! CAUTION Lots of pics!!

    Chicks at 40 Days Old! Now they are in the new coop, no more “glamour shots” (see my BYC page) but I tried to get pics of everyone separately. I have some questions about gender/breed for some of the “silkies” so if you have comments on them please let me know what you think! Easter Eggers –...

    Chicks have moved into the coop!!

    Chicks have moved into the coop!! Here they are checking the place out (spare chain is for a 2nd heat lamp). We have a camera in here to remotely check on them, which I do about once per hour all day long…hehe Bye-bye brooder (IE: HELLO CLEAN BASEMENT!!)

    Show me your 5-week old Golden Campine!

    Hi - I have a GC "pullet" who might have a gender identity issue..."she" is growing quite the comb. I am worried that it's a HE and am hoping to see some 5-week old (approx) pics of your Golden Campines! Thx!

    Anyone familiar with Golden Campines?

    We noticed that our one GC pullet, Gwen, has quite the comb coming in. She has always been very flighty and I never doubted that she was a SHE until we were taking pics yesterday and noticed the comb has really started to come in a bit pinker than some of the other chickens. She was 4 weeks, 5...

    What am i? Was supposed to be a Splash Silkie…

    I bought “Splash” along with “her” siblings Bliss, Sasha, & Sammy at 1 day old. S/he is definitely a bantam, and we saw the silkie coop – all black & white silkies mixed. Sasha & Sammy look to be white silkies (though Sammy’s skin coloring is off and her feathers are coming in much slower than...

    A Silkie Pen - what sort of colors might I get?

    We have 6 straight-run silkie chicks currently. Assuming a nice 50/50 split, we'll just say that I will have 1 Grey Roo, 1 Grey Pullet, 1 White Roo, 1 White Pullet, 1 Black Roo, 1 Splash Pullet. If we make a dedicated silkie pen for these chickens, what sort of color combinations would we be...

    A Cedar Coop - Safe?

    I thought Cedar could be very harmful towards chickens? Looking at this as an add-on/Silkie coop - http://providence.craigslist.org/grd/2232035728.html

    BO develop more quickly than other breeds? Or 2 males?

    I'll have to get close up pics of my 2 14 day old BO's (supposed to be pullets). Both already have combs coming in, way more quickly than any of the other breeds we have (not to mention, they are larger than all our other breeds). For pics, see my BYC page, but I don't have close ups. Just...

    Coop In Progress...Hoping to be done when snow melts!

    Silkie Chick Peronalities (PICS)

    Not sure where to post this ?? I have 2 grey silkies that are currently 8 days old. I keep reading about how docile silkies are, but these two are more afraid of us than most of the others (for example, when we visit the brooder, the BO's, SLW, EE's all run forward to say hi and check us out...

    What Do I Do? Cancel Reshipment?

    I keep swaying back and forth between cancelling my replacement shipment from Ideal this week. Currently we have 16 healthy, lively chickens. 7 Died and 2 were sent incorrectly (supposed to be columbian wyandottes, we were sent GLW). Ideal offered to ship new babies out THIS WEEK - ie poor...
