    So COLD, Chickens inside, when to go back out?

    I have two silkies, not sure of age, prob less than one year, male and female, I brought them inside when it got really cold (-30 C), I heard they couldn't handle the cold like other breeds because of their feathers.

They're both about 5 weeks old and I was told they were both hens but am skeptical about the accuracy of their sexing. Does anyone have any other...

    Small fowl with large fowl?

    Hey all! I was curious if a Cochin hen and a brahma hen can happily live with silkies? I just don’t want the little silkies getting hurt ( e.g stepped on) thx in advance

    Do I need to lower the coop for Silkies and Frizzles?

    Hello All, I am new to all of this and think I may have made a big design error. I'm planning on getting silkies and frizzle chicks in a few weeks. In working with a not so helpful person at the local HD on the cuts for the legs of my coop, I went for a much longer length. Now the opening...
