Silkeys

[kelly88]

Ok you will think I'm nuts but I've been raising these 6 silkeys for 3 months now inside my house. They are scared of the dark. How can I fix this problem? I'm not joking they are completely scared of the dark and they are supposed to go outside to their new home this weekend. Please help

maybe you could put a lamp in their coop at night

I heard that was not good for your chickens. But I would gladly put a low light in there if it's ok

I think a little light will be fine! Good luck

How about using a solar light?

 

[sassysarah]

Sounds like a good idea!

 

[kelly88]

Yes a solar light is a awesome ideal

I have 25 regular chickens never had one be scared of the dark before. But this is my first time with silkeys and have hand raised them then since they hatched and I was worried bout them being scared thank you for the ideals and the help
