    Sick girl

    I found a few soft shell eggs over a period of a few days. She’s a year old. Then she started hiding behind the coop. She’s still drinking but I have only seen her eat a tiny bit. Her comb looks dry at the tips. I moved her out of the main coop a few days ago. She looks a lot better but no...

    My 1st Chick - Blue Silkie

    Oh, my girls hatched one too! I think it’s from my White Silkie because it’s black. My Roo is Black. All my other girls are Splash and would only produce Blue chicks.

    Would you keep a mean chicken?

    Would you keep a mean chicken?

    Nobody was mean to her. Our neighbor gave her to us at 4 weeks old. She went right into the brooding box with my Silkies when they arrived. She was very motherly to them. Once they were moved to coop, she wouldn't let us come anywhere near her. She would run. So we gave her her space...

    Would you keep a mean chicken?

    All my chickens were more relaxed yesterday and today. It was extremely noticeable. Even my Roo was super chill. She had pulled out all of his beard feathers. 🤬 I haven't gotten an update on how my crazy girl is doing in her new flock yet.

    Would you keep a mean chicken?

    Yeah, they were all stressed out. Hopefully, tomorrow when I let them out of the coop they will realize the crazy chicken is gone and be less stressed. There were hiding places in the run for the Silkies but she would seek them out. No injuries, parasites or foot problems. She's as healthy as...

    Would you keep a mean chicken?

    She started this behavior when she started laying about a month and a half ago. She lays early in the morning. I've never seen her in the nesting boxes and never sitting on an egg. She actually left tonight to live with Chickens her own size. I am feeding Nutrena All Flock which has high...

    Unfortunately, it's been very cold here, so nowhere else for her to keep warm at night.
