My broody silkie has been broody for a month now and is laying fairy eggs. I just took her off the nest and when I put her on the ground she started screaming. Please tell me what is wrong. Calcium deficiency? @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @sourland . She has laid three like this

Thought I would make a thread about my flock instead of posting loads of pictures on other threads. @Nbullinger @GirlsHuntToo @MamaPoult @WoDia @Debbie292d @MysteryChicken @ShrekDawg @everyone I have forgotten(sorry! I will tag you later)

My flock is all bantams apart from a CCL cross we got Saturday. She seems sad and is flighty. Artemis is a Chinese silkie and persephone the CCL cross will walk up to her. Artemis is the only one the size of her in the flock. Artemis is also matriarch of my first group and she chases pesephone...

Her sister does not have a red comb and fast developing wattles. Are those pointy feathers at the back?

Not an emergency. 18 week old wyandotte pullet doesn’t have a comb. Is this normal?

I am getting some pullets on Sunday. I am away for five days starting Tuesday. How should I introduce them? I have a 2m x 2m run but would that be enough for three pullets for the first week? Currently have three silkies and a faverolle bantam and getting two pekins and a cream legbar cross.

My hen hera who is bottom of the pecking order started making this cry for about ten minutes and calmed down when she saw me. Is this normal? Sounded like bgarrrr, bgarrrr but loud enough for me to hear 40 metres away. Cant figure out how to do a video.

This is hera. My other silkies have very very very dark brown eyes. Hers remind me of some kind of Orpington X silkie. Is she a cross or just special?

I know other people have done this but none of them are active. Please post pictures of your bantams. I have currently got a bantam flock of four that will soon increase to 6(7 but one is going to be a legbar). Note that this thread also includes diminutive large fowl like large polish and...

What colour is demeter? She is a white with grey markings and a silver sheen

What size nest boxes do quail need? Have constructed some just wondering if they would work both 15cm tall (12.5cm inside) one is 22.5cm wide (20cm inside) and one is 17.5cm (15 inside) I had a small amount of spare timber so I just worked with what I had instead of planning.

I know this sounds ridiculous but my silkie is absolutely obsessed with my shoes. She wont leave them alone. Sometimes I wear crocs there and it is very painful. I know the obvious answer is to not wear crocs but I was wondering if there is another option

Can not figure out how to attach a vote to this thread so please leave your opinion in the comments. My bantam faverolle is the feistiest hen (about as feisty as an annoyed gander) ever. Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience. Apart from her all other hens treat me like a cock. In...

My bantam faverolle is constantly pecking at my silkies should I isolate her. If so should I keep her in a cage in the run or away from the other girls. Have only got one coop so she would have to roost with the other girls. Here are the pecked silkies

I am getting three more chickens in early April. A relative wanted a blue egg layer. We currently have two bantam silkies, one chinese silkie on the larger side and one bantam faverolle. We will be getting a cream legbar cross light sussex and two pekins (smaller cochin bantams for those of you...

I have some spare time at the moment to do some drawings. Usually I draw purebred gamefowl but I have felt that their are only so many. If you have any cross bred games I will draw them for you and post pictures of the finished drawings

My silkie hera has been laying elongated eggs for the past few days. Family member just used all of them so have not got a photo may have one tomorrow

I am getting more chickens in april. one of them is a CRLxLS. The photo is bad and I was wondering if anyone has done this cross or a similar one

My silkie artemis is acting weirdly. She is twice the size of all the other bantams. She is dominant in the flock and shows others to food. I have caught the other girls laying but not her. She is a vent sexed hen. Please tell me if my chicken is an artemis or an apollo

Hi just thought I should introduce myself I have 4 chickens ( 3 more in april ) 3 silkies one faverolle bantam (two pekins one Sussex x CRL coming to are run soon )
