Thanks for all the WELCOME! It seem you all have Silkies, I had them in my first and second set of chickens and then I got a few as chics at Easter but I just have no luck with chics the hawks keep taking them. I have to keep them in a full cage to keep them safe the hawks also took my Seramas I had as well. The chickens I have now i have had for 6 months they started laying then stopped, I found out they are not getting enough light because they actually are in my barn and then can come out into the horse pasture that's well fenced and has the electric wire as well now. But they were not coming out of the barn enough, so now I feed them in the pasture in the morning and shut them out for the day... LOL!
