    Hello im new my name is J

    Welcome! I just love this community. Looking forward to future pics as Chickie grows. I haven't raised silkies, but have seen how new feather growth can bother the Littles.

    Ice cube mission activated here too 😎 I wish I could let them free range, but we have 3 foxes casing our home. They got Poppy, one of our Buff Orphingtons, 3 weeks ago so I'm playing it super safe.

    Hello im new my name is J

    I have three 2 week old chicks in a brooder cage with their adoptive mama hen inside the 6x8 shed henhouse. It's to get to 93 today! They are in the shade, windows open and fan blowing not on the but for circulation. Do I need to move them to the cooler but not chilly garage? Right now, here...

    Is she likely ok?

    Thank you, she's putting in some long hours. Do I need to take food and water to her? We don't have a rooster and I'm not set up for chicks or I'd put a few under her.

    Is she likely ok?

    Chirping No, and she let me take eggs out from under her. Didn't like it, but didn't hiss or peck.

    Is she likely ok?

    Hi! I have a one year old laying buff hen that has been in the nesting box for hours, usually they are all done laying for the day by 3 or 5 at the latest. I noticed her there around 6 and it's 10. All others are on roosts for the night. She ate sunflower seeds from my hand, so that seems like...

    Barn Peckers

    Hi! We let the girls out of their run a few hours each day after the hawks stop flying over. My girls have made many dust baths in the dust around the barn, causing daylight to be seen from inside the barn, and as long as they are clearing up the ground wasp and Hornet nests as they go, not an...

    How cold is too cold for chickens? Guineas?

    We are definitely in a cold snap. Today 3 stayed inside all day, but the others were in the run. Looks like it will be a few consecutive nights. At least it gets a little warmer during the day.

    Water source when really cold?

    I've been reading about cold weather prep, and think we have it all covered EXCEPT I have two girls that seem to have either beak/eye coordination or vision problems, so we never used nipples at the water source. This is their first winter. Now it's super cold with 25 mph winds with a 'feels...

    Molting so young?

    Out of 11 girls, hatched late March this year, only one seems to be really molting. Others are losing some feathers, but one looks scraggly, and has a ton of pin feathers on her neck and sides. But she's so young....I didn't expect this. Easter Egger, one of 3, and she is eating, drinking, but...
