NotinOz, sorry about your hen.
MaddBaggins, yay for the egg! Can't wait till my hens are old enough to lay.
AZKat, a "ball of pure, feathery hate"...haha. Yeesh. We here about "mama bear" all the time, maybe "mama chickens" would be more apt.
How can I tell the difference between feed that is supposed to be feed as mash and feed that is in crumbles? I bought a sack of organic grower this weekend, and some of it looks like crumbles, but there sure is a lot of powder. The bag doesn't say crumbles, mash, pellets...nada.
I've read that silkies don't like to roost...I don't have pure silkies (silkie/Polish mix), and the 3 are roosting on the highest support beam in there (~5' tall). They are so small, I'm not even sure how they are getting up there! Well, duh, flying, but still.
