So I went to the CT poultry show today and decided that Silkies definitely are my favorite breed! If I had to start over today, I would keep my Marbles, Lucille my RIR, and all the rest would be silkies!

Well, I went to my first Chicken Swap today and of course I couldn't leave empty handed!!!To justify the new birds to my DH (after the purchase mind you), I used the following chicken math
I originally got 6 chicks
minus 1 (passed away)
soon to be minus another 2 (roos not allowed in our neighborhood (but only if you get caught!!))
Which will eventually leave only 3.
I bought 6 today. Based on the scenarios with the first 6, only 3 of these will make permanent additions, right?
Well, that gets me right back to the original 6. It's perfectly logical to me. DH just smiled and shook his head.
a couple of paint silkies
a partridge
a chocolate
and I ventured beyond my silkie boundaries and picked up a couple of cuckoo polish chicks.

At home in the new brooder I built today.
You might want to try a little olive oil inside the vent , I read that along with the warm baths really helps. Hope she lays it soon.She's just driving me nuts! She really enjoyed her soaking, I let her stay there for a half hour. Then I gave her a wet mash of a little food, some parsley flakes, and some minced garlic(parsley and garlic are supposed to be laying stimulants) while she was in her bath and she happily gobbled it up, the spoiled brat. So now her and Ice are in their indoor cage with the ceramic heat bulb on soaking up the warmth.
Hi my chicken that I was talking about the other day that seemed kind of quiet died this morningbut I don't quite know why any suggestions
