Hi Janine and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. It's good to read that you are once again back to keeping chickens.

Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive

Thank you sincerely, for your time in service. Have your silkies been sexed? 5 mos. is a good time for figuring it out.
