What would the chicks look like? Sorry genetics are not my thing. I have 1 Silver laced cockerel, 1 silver laced pullet and 2 gold laced hens who I am eventually going to house together, since they are not friendly to people or other chickens :hmm
So am just wondering if it would be worth...
I am 100% new to silkies and have so many questions. I can't be the only one 🤷♀️
So if anyone has silkie questions please feel free to add them to this thread.
So I will start by asking, are there different body styles for silkies?
I have 2 sets of silkie chicks about a week apart in age, so 1...
Picked up these sweet babies from the bantam bin, only to realize they all have black legs and 5 toes. Silkies perhaps? Any thoughts on colors? 1 is yellowish with gray wing tips, another blue gray, 1 mostly black, and 2 chipmunk-ish patterned.

But, I digress. My question(s) are, how much...
So I am a crazy chicken lady newbie. With that being said, at what age should I expect to see cockerels begin to exhibit rooster behaviors, such as herding, crowing regularly, guarding, and calling of the hens. My guys are about 9ish weeks give or take and right now are behaving like...
I am sure there are multiple resources out there, but is there one that you feel is best at showing the entire culling and processing of the bird, and would recommend for a beginner?
Now I am certain my husband has wrung a chicken neck or two since he was raised in the country with chickens as a...
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
10 now. 4 are about 5wks old and 6 that are about...
