Wow, that's great! When I integrated my Silkies in with my main flock, it took about 2 weeks. They seem to be doing fine, but they are definitely not the top of the pecking order!

Hey y'all, my friend in Capitol Hill (Seattle) is looking for someone to buy fresh eggs from. Anyone here in Cap Hill whom I can refer her to?

Think she may have to look a bit north like Arlington

Made my own flockblock. I did cupcakes as I think it's a perfect portion for the silkie pens with only 7 birds in each.

The dogs tried to eat the ones I gave the large fowl.

What did you wrap it around ? or is that thick ?

I pressed them firmly into the muffin pans and mounded it before I used a chopstick to form the center hole before I baked them. I first tied it to the fence but the silkies freaked. It's baking twine that I ran through it.
