    Don't want it air tight. Some people use clear shower curtain liners. It also has the benefit of making it warmer inside. See how yours deal with your setup and add more side cover as needed. Id put some on the west side where the rain usually blows in

    Silkie thread!

    I'm an hour south of Seattle. Make sure you have a coop/run with sides for silkies. They will stand in the rain. I wrap greenhouse tarps around my runs in September before the rain really comes back. I don't advocate for heaters in coops because chickens create a lot of dust and it can catch...

    Ignore their wings. They are usually tucked properly but this isnt a very good perch and they kept flapping to be stable. This gentleman who's about a year old is the one I was talking about. His great grandfather was where the black came from. He's a bit sun bleached. This man is about 5...

    I don't think I took pictures of what looked like a little black chick with leakage when he was small.

    This gentleman's saddle feathers are just starting to come in. Had to move fluff to see them. He's the only cockerel I kept from the last hatch apparently.

    Sounds like she's trying to establish her spot in the pecking order early

    This is why I don't have bantams and large fowl mixed. His name was Genghis Pumpkin. He was on a territory expansion crusade. He attacked any chicken that wasn't a silkie. My ameraucana roosters were terrified of him because he'd come out of no where and start ripping their feathers out. All...

    6 weeks. Can tell sex on most of them now. This little girl will probably have a big crest with how it's feathering in.

    She's acting like something is stuck. Is she getting enough grit? Maybe a bit of foog grade mineral oil tubed into her crop and massage it
