Tuzo 251 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 i was told the other day that if you put a buff silkie cock on a Sussex hen all the buff chicks are hens and all the whites are cocks? You need to put either gold or white silkie over a light sussex hen........then yes gold hens and white cocks come out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rory4 267 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 no not got any mesh on bottom, dont think is any stoats/weasels around but few rats, will they be ok with hen to look after them and keep warm, or should i put inside under heat lamp? heard they get wet if grass isnt short and catch a chill. cant wait. cheers for the replies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
