    My silkies are duds!! LOL

    Please tell me these silkies will get it soon?!!! Our silkies are 11-12 weeks old. They were housed in the coop only for a few days to help them understand this is home and where to return to for nighttime. This is our third full week outside with the attached run. They are using the ramp...

    Silkie Coop- ramp and other considerations?

    I'm building a coop for my first flock, which includes a Polish, a cochin, an Easter egger, and a silkie. It's been obvious from the start that Joni Mitshell, our little 4.5 week old silkie, doesn't pick up on things quite at fast as the others, but she does mostly keep up eventually. She jumps...

    Help! Introducing chicks into new coop

    Hi all! I really need some advice as I’m so stuck on what to do with my 3 chicks! I’ve bought a new coop and introduced my chickens to it while still inside the house.

    Silkies Vs Ramp

    Are my Silkies being manipulative, or just being Silkies?

    I can't tell if my Silkies actually need different accommodations, or if they are just liking the special treatment. I have a mixed flock all approximately 8.5-10.5 weeks of age. This includes two 10.5 week old Silkies. The flock was moved to their newly completed coop on Mother's Day, so just...

    Ramp for Muscovy ducks

    I have a roost about 3 feet off the ground but my Muscovies won’t use it. They were roosting at previous home with previous owner on even higher roosts (6+ feet) but I’ve had to clip a wing on each of them to keep them home. I don’t think they can get enough lift (especially my Drake) to get up...

    The new hens finally used the ramp; little successes!

    Here in east coast Australia, we have been experiencing quite a heat wave. My days have been full of iced water and frozen grape duties and making sure of solid shade during the days. I got my two beautiful new hens ( 1 Lavender Orpington and 1 huge Gold Laced Wyandotte) on such a day and...
