I have a ton, I'll sell you come if you ever come to Canada lol

why did you hatch them if you don't like them?
It's too cold in Canada, and dry.

I was just trying them out, I do like them. They are cute and friendly but they don't make me any money and I can't afford to feed them if they don't lay more then an egg or 2 a week

X2! I just wish MT healthy hatcheries had silkies, i would have gotten them, *sigh* i think i'll just get some silkie eggs along with those quail from RB instead. that is, if i can when these chicks and ducks leave teh house and to the rabbit hutches!

Somebody's got hatchin' fever!

Out goes one brood and immediately you order more eggs... you must have a whole load of birds and an enormous garden!

(And lots 'a rabbit hutches

)

No, not really, although, i suppose i do talk about it a lot.
no, not really, just 15 chickens, 20 chicks, 14 ducks, and 1 dog. and my garden is rather small, but the rest of the acre they have to themselves. ( i have 5 rabbit hutches, 1 rabbitat, and 3 dog crates. and 4 cardboard boxes that can be turned into brooders within less then five min.)

I love the silkie! I'll buy him if he can survive the trip over! D'aww... Silkies are so cute. Boo, I might have to take you up on that offer! I hope to take a gap year when I graduate from school, I might head over to the Americas. I've never been, it'd be fun.

I don't have any good buff hens for him, he's gorgeous and someone else could give him some.
Plus I am moving out of Silkies, keeping a few on my hens.

Wow! That's a LOT of fowl! I'd love to own that many cheepers

No rabbit hutches here though. And when they grew up we'd have nowhere to put them

My chicks lived in cardboard box brooders with newspaper linings and a worklamp hanging from a tennis racket balanced across the top of the box. it was very improvised

I guess... we keep our chickens for the eggs. They lay an egg a day, which is great, because it means since we got them, we haven't been buying eggs at all! Seeing as we used to buy free range (me and my mother have a thing against caged hens

) we've saved quite a lot of money.

ah, i see. I've always wanted to try and have rabbits free together, but they seems to be too territorial, argh, the hutches waste space in my opinion.

i normally make something like this for each brood: http://www.communitychickens.com/coops-and-cages/make-this-simple-chicken-brooder.html

yep, i love them for their eggs at times, but it's a pain in the neck when it comes to winter and they don't lay, it annoys me to have a flock outside and not a single egg for the whole winter, i think i'll see where i can get some of that thing, waterglass was it called?

to preserve them over at least some of the winter.
