    Rooster or Hen

    Hi all! I got this silkie in the beginning of September from a local mennonite who assured me it was a hen. I was told that it was hatched late spring/early summer. I noticed it tonight that it was mounting another hen. When I looked at it up close I think it may have characteristics of roo...

    Introducing a muscovy hen into a chicken flock?

    Hi all, I am in desperate need of advice on what to do about my muscovy hen and silkie hen. Earlier this year we rescued a Muscovy hen and put her with our two silkies temporarily while we figured out what to do with her. Unfortunately one of the silkies passed away and since then the duck...

    Free silkie bantams black.

    I believe one is a hen and the other is a rooster. They are being picked on by my other chickens so I want to rehome them.

    Getting our new cockerel and additional pullets

    Tomorrow we're picking up our new cockerel, Pushpa! We went with the kids to choose earlier this week and he had a friend who's been on my mind all week. Being the impulsive person I am, I already sent a message to the hatchery that I would love to take both, if he's still there. Now I don't...
