    Looking for Silkies in Middle TN!

    Hello all! We have a small flock of six sex link pullets (about 12-13 wks) and are hoping to add two Silkies to our flock. We have a 10 x 12 coop and they are free ranged in the evenings and on weekends. Let me know if you have any, thank you!

    How do you introduce new chickens to the flock?

    Only getting 8 eggs a day from 30 hens

    I am only getting 8 eggs a day from 30 laying hens. It's mid June right now and we have hot temperatures but now hot enough to stop chickens from laying I don't think. I am paying for food to much than the money I'm making. Please help!
