I ordered Silkies from Ideal Poultry and was excited to find them this early in the year. I was notified on Tuesday that they were shipped and expected them in 3 days or less. I notified our Doylestown Ohio post office of the chicks and they assured me that I would be notified as soon as they...

Last spring I got some silkis from TSC and they have a different comb than my other silkis. They have a single comb and wattles. I thought they were roos until the eggs showed up in the fair cage. How do I find out if they are not true Silkis?

One chick hatched with a twisted leg that starts pretty high up. The foot looks fine do I try to put a splint on ? Chick hatched through the night so I can keep it by its self for a while.

I have both silki and sultun hens and roosters in white what does a silki/sultun cross look like?

I have 2 Sultun roosters and one has gotten very aggressive in the last 2 months. I have even had to be brutal to protect myself from him coming after my legs. Out of 8 roos this is the only one that acts this way. He needs to go but I don't want to just kill him if any one wants him. He might...

So, in the last 2 weeks I have read anything and everything I could find about incubators and hatching, development and eggs exploding. I found a cracked egg shell a couple of days ago and after candeling today I decided to take it out because the cracks were getting bigger. I also took out an...

This is Drew and Logan who are doing a science project on hatching eggs with a home made incubator that they put together. The other part of their project is at Logan's house which is the hen and her clutch. On dat 7 we could see the dark spot and veins in the white Sultun eggs. Because the...

Need to know, after a rooster breeds with a hen how long will the sperm remain in the hen? I want to separate my breeds and be able to incubate true breed eggs. Example: Partridge cochin hen to partrige cochin rooster. I am going to have a lot of Hines 57 varities in the incubator right now and...

I have black and white silkis not quite a year old and that should have kept me content but after seeing the blue I got this terriable craving for a blue silki hen. Anyone close to Ohio raising this breed? I could take 2 if needbe. (my favorite color is grey). I am retired and the chickens help...

The humidity is up in the 70's how do I lower it without taking the sponge and water out completely? No eggs in yet because I am trying to make sure all the temps and numbers are right. Last night the temp hit 103 so I unpluged it and started over. What about air movement inside my styro...

Want to pass on something that happened to my white silkie rooster. This rooster started to walk funny and hop but I thought nothing of it. As the weeks went by he hopped more, then one day I let all of the flock out. The rooster ended up at my basement door and would not head towards the coop...

How do I keep the chickens from flocking around my feet? I can hardly get to the feeders. I have stepped on so many little feet no matter how carefull I think I am. Some have even flew up om our shoulders and heads. We feed twice a day and have several feeding pans. We check for eggs 2/3 times a...

The first pic is some of my silkies and sultuns. Second is a hen I thought to be a buff brahma but not sure, third is one of 3 cochin roosters and last is a golden buff from TSC last year. If I am wrong on the breeds please give me your input.

Breeds I have are golden buff, wyandotte,cochin, leghorn, buff brahma, sultun and silkie Have brown egg layers and the smallest eggs are medium and today I got a very small brown egg. These hens have been laying since last august. They have layed well all winter, any idea what happened?

OK, we are going to give it a try to hatch some eggs. Live in Ohio so won't start this project till May. Do all eggs take the same time to hatch? Would it be best to separate the broody hens in their own private quarters? Can I have more than one hen in the same area if they are both broody...
