    The Good and the Bad

    Checked on the birds this morning and had a couple of surprises: good and bad: The Good: I got my first Egg! The Bad: 2 of my Roos got into a fight and one was a bit bloodied. I cleaned him up and isolated him to recover. My Hen:Roo ratio is lower than I'd like, so probably a bit too much...

    Young Silky fight problem

    We're in a little bit of a pickle. Our flock of 6 silkies consists three adults - one large rooster, and two hens. We recently let some broody hens hatch their eggs and now we have three new 2.5 month old chicks. We're almost certain one of the chicks is a roo based on behaviors we've learned...
