Nice Job... I like your story....Todd

Love your coop, very nice and creative, todtrac.

Very nice job, I am glad you were inspired by our coop. Enjoy your chickens.. Todtrac.

I have a little silkie starting to lay but they have all been soft shelled. She has laid probably 6 or so eggs but they all have been only a shell which is soft. The first one had yolk but the others have nothing in them. What shall I do? Any suggestions? Todtrac

So sorry to hear of your loss...

Not good... she was always soo pleasant but with that baby she has turned mean... I need for her to accept them into the coop at night, that is all I ask.. is there any way to make this happen? Can I put her and the peep in a cage and try that, would that work?

Alright, don't know what to do... My hen & Roo wont accept the newer chicks... why... My hen had just hatched out her own peep now 3 weeks old, the other seven are appr 8+ weeks old. The old hen keeps pecking the other chicks for no reason, then they wont allow them in the coop at night, it is...

Welcome from Pittsburgh PA... I have friends that live in Lexington, it is beautiful there!.... enjoy!

My silkie is sitting on eggs currently, should be hatching out soon... sooo.... do I need to put crumbles out for the peeps with the other chickens in the area?

Looks awesome.. have fun with your birds..

Good Luck with your coop, you will enjoy the whole process and the chickens.. wow!.. you will love them... Have fun!

Quote: Now that is very interesting!.. thanks for sharing;)

Do I need to put crumbles out ? I really appreciate your help

Question: I have a broody silkie hen sitting right now, and if successful should hatch out peeps next week. We live in PA, and it still very cold, especially at night...so.. if she hatches out the peeps, do I need to take them from her and put them in a brooder or let them stay with the mother...

Well good luck to you too... never give up!

That makes me feel a bit better, I want to try again even with shipped eggs..

Quote: Well... not too experienced in the hatching process, I did it once before with better success. Not exactly sure what you mean by Duss over them? As for candling them, I did in the first week or so, but not lately. Yes, I bought the eggs, they shipped to me, two different shipments...

Thanks for the advice, I will try it again with egg cartons. Just couldn't understand why they made it so long and quit on me... I am glad you like my coop, it was fun to build, and a great conversation piece.... wife doesn't agree though.
