- Our Rooster is Hurt! | Silkie Chickens | Backyard Chickens
When it comes to having a lot of backyard chickens, there always seems to be something going on. Which can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it's not. Silkie chickens, although hardy to our cold weather, are more delicate due to their size. They are much smaller than standard size chickens so can sometimes be prone to more injuries. Check out this cute video to see what's going on!
ABOUT US
We are Bill and Rebecca and this is Birch Moon Farm. A simple living homestead/farmstead where we try to practice a simply sustainable lifestyle. In 2015 we purchased 5+ acres in the Vermont hills and for the first 18 months lived in a 250 sq ft RV, while we built our own house (with lots of help from amazing friends and family), 3 sheds, a driveway, water well, septic, 2 chicken coops.
So what made us do all this in our late 40's early 50's? Well, in 2013 Rebecca was diagnosed with breast cancer and mostly everything that goes with that type of diagnosis. And this all happened 6 months after our wedding. So after about 10 months of treatments, a couple of surgeries, chemo and radiation, we had had enough. We no longer subscribed to what people call the "American Dream". And we didn't want to wait until we were in our late 60's to live our dream. So we sold or gave away everything we owned, and took all our assets and started to live our dream where we would try to be as self sufficient as possible. Do we always succeed? Nope! But we try! And in the end, isn't that all that matters?
Birch Moon Farm is now home to 2 humans, 2 cats, one dog, 3 geese and lots of silkie chickens! Follow along with us while we build our homestead one project at a time.

any update on ash?
HI! Yes! It ended up being what I thought it might be. Vet had said not a break when he first did it, so must be muscle that he hurts every once in awhile. I wrapped it for a couple of days to add some support, and he was fine a day or two after. :) Thanks for checking on him!
What do you use the main coop for nowadays???
Hi Victor! I am thinking of doing the spring grow out babies in that. It is insulated and with the panel heaters I might be able to pull it off. I had all those babies in the house last year and it was HORRIBLE dust! HAHAHA!
