Hi all you chicken fans! My hubby n I have moved to some land by a river and live in a static whilst we plan a house build. We brought with us 3 children, an Italian spinone, a rabbit, a tortoise and 7 beautiful Silkies. We bought them as chicks. They're 9 months old now and 4 are Roos! Will def need yr expert advise guys as we go thru. I'm a teacher, my hubby has a car mechanic business. Busy peeps but always time for our lovely hens!

Hello and welcome, I too am new. And I have to say, silkies have always had a soft spot in my heart, when I was little my grandad raised whole flocks of pure white silkies, and they were so soft and gentle. I hope you enjoy your wonderful little guys as much as I did when I was little

Thank you. Sounds like yr pretty experienced with Silkies. Could u advise? We have 4 Roos - they all seem to get along ok but one is a bit mean so may have to depart. However, one of the 3 girls is on her egg and clearly waiting for a chick in about 17 days time (not that I'm counting)Thinking we should put a little box inside the chick house for her to delegate her from others whilst keeping her in sight of them. Other girls wanna lay in same nesting box she's in! Don't think chick will survive with all of them. Best to superstar mum n chick til it can fend for itself? What d ya think? Grateful for help here.
