our silkie (and thats her name is well ! ) is a mom to two beautifull chicks she has them now for bout 3-4 wks.
blimey when you go to chang food or water she really tries pecking you to death!
nice though to see the mothering instinct in her.

It hurts, doesnt it!
Rocky, our RIR cockerel went for me for the first time the other day - he'd just had a new girlfriend join him & his red ladies. Little ***, I touched his back firmly & he hasnt tried it since...

Are the chicks pure silkie?

I have 2 ex-bats and an Arucana in the Garden, Grand-kids Pets " Little *@I?#" !!! (hens not kids!) only one ex-bat lays and the other one thinks she is a cockerel

even trying to crow at times.

One Day last week I had been in the Green house potting up some bits and bobs and set off back to the kitchen for a cuppa, as I walked up the garden Blossom flew at the backs of my legs and pecked me real hard a few times. I introduced her to my friend Mr Mop who lives out side the backdoor

one of them is, i had put a batch of different eggs under her, two were a success im not that bothered about the lost of the others,
first time for her to sit on eggs and just great to see it all happening naturally

no ... the run lid lifts upwards, so I just (bravely!) put my hand back in & pressed down on his back from behind, so he couldnt reach round!

I have one hen who is very nasty when she is sat on eggs or has chicks with her. She really gors at you and wont stop until you move well away from her.
