Hi everybody, I was wondering if anybody would be interested in about 9 splash and 1 blue silkie chicks.
I had hatched them out from eggs I ordered. Hatched 1/2/2011
They all would make great pets or for somebody just getting started in silkie breeding. The ones that would make great pets have only 8 or 9 toes. The ones that do have 10 toes would be good for somebody just starting in silkies.
I am asking $2.00 a chick straight run and they would be pick up only. Thanks

Good Mornin Kentucky... Are ya'll lovin these snow days? We are on day #4 of this week

I'll be so glad to see this snow gone, but then they are callin for more snow next week, oh boy

So how are ya'll doing on egg production? I'm only gettin 3-5 eggs a day from 37 girls, I'll be so glad when they pick back up. Hopefully I'll get my 1st duck eggs this spring thanks to Spydertoys

(I got 2 girls out of the 5 ducklings I bought from you this summer) and I truly love havin the Muscovies... its so cool to watch them fly around our yard.

Here in Eastern KY we only got a few inches, nothing too bad. School was canceled 2 days. As for egg production, I got 14 eggs from 14 hens. I thought it was pretty impressive, cosidering we have been experiencing single digit weather. See my sig for the breeds I have, it explains the xtreme egg laying

ETA- Those silkies are cool... but I don't thimk mom would go for them

Hi!

I have a small backyard flock -- 2 Golden Comets, 1 Rhode Island Red, and a Black Star cross. They are averaging 3 eggs per day. This morning, I got 4 eggs. So the little sisters are doing quite well. I have a small heater and a heat lamp in their coop for fear my poor chickens will freeze. Despite my efforts, the water still freezes inside the coop, but the girls look good and are laying well.

What type of heater? Be very careful with those around shavings and such...also the dust....a fire can easily happen. I have heat lamps hanging over my waterers about 5.5 feet off the ground and the waterers are not doing too bad...some ice chips in them but not frozen solid.

I sure wish I could. You can't ship them priority. Just put holes in the priority box? Lots of pine shavings.

With the words FRAGILE=CHICKENS ON BOARD or something.
