Awwwwww. Sherlock is in his den solo. Lola had been with everyone else, but has been seriously picked on. He won't come down from a roost. This morning I fed him from a spoon & held the water up to him. Checked on him a bit ago & his attitude towards me was way better. He even came when I called him-motioned for him. Had to again hold the water up for him. If he doesn't start integrating I'll have to find him a home or pen him solo.

I know it's the working out the pecking order routine. Just hate them being mean & not letting him eat. Or at least how it appears. I did find him off the roost, but still hesitant about going to eat any of the scratch I was tossing out.

i need help.
my silkie is going broody...except, it's November here.
every time i walk up to the nest she puffs and growls at me. when she comes out for 1-2 minutes, she acts as if every step hurts her. i feel so bad. she is also getting the classic broody trait, bossiness. she has a mound of eggs she can barely fit under her. she also steals other hen's eggs and keeps them warm. the mound underneath her is getting bigger and bigger. i think she has trouble sitting on them all. she sleeps with them all night. but what if she cant keep them warm in the winter? she isn't even a year old yet!and, she is going to have her first molt soon!
but here is what i am worried about.
my parents want to steal her eggs while she is sleeping in the night. i think that is cruel, since the process is probably already starting. she has been laying on them for around 1-3 days straight.
i want baby chicks, but the thing is, my parents don't. how can i get them to see this from my point of view?
and ideas/suggestions?

Unfortunately, if the pile is too big all the chicks won't make it. I'm not sure how to decide which to take rescript the most recent for certain. Could you compromise? Take most & isolate her so she can't get more? Be ready with the heat lamp, extra bedding, etc if needed. All you can do is present your side, try a compromise.
