Silkie thread!

That's a good one.


Maybe that's what it was doing then, who knows. lol I happened to turn around towards the chicks, I saw the pose, clicked, and the chick ran away flapping it's wings.  Must have been a pretty good poop. haha

Mine always lift their wings like this to poop. My chicks are such drama queens

Hi,
I need some help trying to figure out if I have pullets or not. Both these girls

were supposed to be born in December 2011 either early in the month or on Christmas day, I have had them for almost 2 months now. Thank you for your help. Also if you could give any opinions on if they are breeding quality or not. I'm leaning towards not, but just want to make sure.

Saturday my silkie's coop will be finally done but I am completely lost now because I have currently a 4 month splash roo, a splash hen, a black hen and a blue hen and I was thinking introducing my 2 months old porcelain and black/partridge hen to the flock. However, if I do so will this give give weird coloring?
I also want to have a white roo and 6 or more hens but I know I need to have them separated from my other flock. My coop is basically 4 sheet 4by 8 and I was wondering if it was going to be big enough for all of them (12 or 13 total) (I will divide the coop in 2 as well as the run which is much bigger) My concern is first how to design it (I would like to add a 2 big nesting box, which will give the coop more space and 2 pooping board). Second if I have two roos next to each other, will they crow a lot (I can put chicken wire or wood to divide them)? I am torturing myself because I REALLY want add some white but I have no space (and money) to add another coop. Thank you

These two are both boys (Lucy looks less rooish then Ethel), and look younger than 8 + months to me.

The little that I've seen the chicks poop, they seem to squat and freeze more than spread their wings like that. lol But what do I know? I'm not out there inspecting the way they poop all the time. And how did this turn into "how does my chick poop" conversation.

I've seen chicks poo thousands of times I'm sure - I spend way too much time in the grow out pen
