Introduced the silkies yesterday I guess it went well lol Mia and Bella hang together and Speckles and Penny stay together and they just kinda ignore each other lol The only time they seemed to notice each other is when they were eating and Bella pecked at Speckles and Penny to go away, so now...

Hiya and welcome I'm fairly new too Our first two were purchased as sex linked point of lay pullets we picked out from a produce store Henny Penny is an ISA brown and Speckles is an Austra White They started laying after 3 weeks and have hardly missed a beat, we have had atleast one egg every...

Thanks so much :) I might try 500 then till I get the hang of keeping them alive haha ;)

@Teila Thank you! Does it matter white size they are? And how many should I get for 4 chickens/ how long do they last for?

Where is the best place to get meal worms? My local Petbarn didn't have any when I had a look today :( just crickets (but what's new... they never seem to have what I'm after :/ )

Hm I didn't think about the silkies in a storm There are afew bushes and under the steps is covered aswell as the roost Would they be smart enough to get out of the rain? Lol One week of QT left Bella has warmed up to us abit but Mia is abit skittish still She just follows Bella around like a...

@satay Haha thanks :) He's a big sook (He's begging for a pet here lol) @C8yJayne I haven't had a storm here yet since having my chickens Mine free range but they can go in their roost (which they usually do if we have a little rain) if they want to

Got some photos of the chickens with the cat today He's more scared of them then they are if him, if they go right up to him he will run away :gig

Interesting Thanks :) I haven't come across one yet

What is a fart egg exactly? Is there anything wrong if a chicken produces one?

I personally dont like Ceasar's methods of training When I was younger I use to watch it but now I now a lot more about dogs body languages and how to train them without using his forceful methods You can see the dogs he works with are very stressed and he pushes them to breaking point where the...

@cwrite It depends on temperament of the dog mostly Ones with a higher pray drive will be less likely to be good with chickens I have two dogs One grew up with a chicken for about 5 months then 5 years later we got chickens and he hardly even acknowledges them (other then wanting to roll in or...

Found two little eggs in Mia and Bella's roost this morning :woot I was pretty excited when I saw them because I didn't expect them to lay so soon! atleast I know they are definitely both hens :ya

You can also feed the eggshells back to her for a little extra calcium Probably not helpful at the moment till the shells harden again I just crush them up after we use them and feed it to the girls They love it

Congrats Penny's 3rd egg was a double yolker The poor girl Took a photo of it next to the one she layed before that

@IamSamSam Haha that's funny Wish the magpies here were nicer Our poor chickens run for the hills when they hear a magpie wardle They hide under the stairs and if the magpies are particularly bad they will start squawking so we come out and shoo them away Our cat helps to keep them away if he's...

The goats were cute The lady near there had silkie chicks which my son loved because she let him hold one We got there right on 9 and only stayed for 20 mins, there wasn't much there though maybe we were too early? We endup getting Mia and Bella from somewhere else later in the day

Luckily we don't have crows around here But we have noisy miners who chase the magpies away some times So I feed those guys to keep them around haha If the cat's out there the magpies will usually stay away though

The pair of magpies around here are horrible at the moment! They swoop the chickens in the morning and afternoon and eat their food :rant

Lol I think they were similar to this but the feathers on their feet weren't that big and didn't have as much of the black @City farm I love your barnyard mix He's gorgeous!
