    chicken breed?

    We purchased this little gal back in April. She was only 15 grams at day 2. We were told she was a silkie. Now at two month old she only weighs 8 ounces, significantly smaller than her peers. Clearly she is not a silkie. What is she? Anyone knows? Thank you so much in advance. Laura

    Neighbor’s Chickens

    Over the course of the past 5 months, the neighbor’s roosters have integrated into my own flock. They stopped caring for the boys when their hens died, so I took up to feeding them and they’ve grown comfortable with me. They come over every day and stay until the last few minutes of daylight...
