    Debbie's Silkies

    Sorry for your loss. She sure was beautiful. It’s easy to blame yourself but please don’t. It’s no way your fault. We do our best to protect our flocks but we can’t be everywhere at the same time. You’re doing a fantastic job and this kind of stuff is bound to happen now and again. Hang in...

    Camera inside coop

    I think you have the option to not have a subscription. But then you’re not going to have any ability to record, set up zones or have any way to look back at a certain picture or video. The subscription is relatively low. I use the Arlo system for my chickens and my house and for an unlimited...

    Camera inside coop

    I also use Arlo cameras for my coop and run. I have them set to detect motion so there’s no lights on them unless they or something is/are moving. It’s come in handy way too many times for me not to have them now. They aren’t the cheapest option but they work great!!

    TSC bantam bin “Guess what breed” 7 week old… what is it??

    I was on the fence about her being an OEGB. I have 2, a roo and a hen, but they are silver duckwing and I got them when they were already over a year old so I never saw them as babies. She is so sweet too! She is perfectly content sitting on my lap watching the others. My little OEGB hen is...

    TSC bantam bin “Guess what breed” 7 week old… what is it??

    7-8 weeks ago I got some bantams from TSC mixed bantam bin. I know what the others are but I have no clue what this little one is. I think it’s a pullet but I can’t say that with certainty as I have no idea on the breed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Bantam cochin sex on 7 week olds

    Yes I think you’re right! I was thinking the crested one is a polish mix because of the absence of the silkie traits and the face on the other one resembles a brahma. I was hoping they were pure bantam cochins 😌 I appreciate your help!!

    Bantam cochin sex on 7 week olds

    Interesting… I did notice the crest on the one and wondered about it. What do you think the mix is? Cochin and what else?

    I’m not too familiar with bantam Cochins so it’s a little difficult for me to pinpoint who is what gender. Any one out there with experience please help. Thanks!

    Hatchery Policies. Acceptable or Not Acceptable?

    Sorry but I just thought of something else you could do…. Maybe you can find someone to buy you out. Pay you what you paid or close to it, and just change the shipping address on your GF order. I hope you can figure something out and not be out that much money.

    Hatchery Policies. Acceptable or Not Acceptable?

    Sorry this happened to you. I can imagine how excited you were to start your chicken adventure only to have it take a back seat because of a health emergency. I couldn’t believe that you are being charged 50% even with 2 months to go!! I went on Green Fire’s website and I DID in fact find where...

    Day 24 silky egg

    The float test for hatching is where you will look for movement. It’s not really looking for the egg to float or sink. The water just makes it easier to observe movement that you wouldn’t necessarily notice by looking at the egg. But I do agree with the other poster that your egg is most likely...

    I need advice or suggestions for purchasing chickens...

    Hello! Congratulations on your decision to be a chicken owner, or a chicken “tender”! 😆 It’s so much fun! If you are wanting chickens that are close to laying then I don’t think you will find anyone to ship them. For the most part only baby chicks or very young “started” birds will ship through...

    Boy or girl?

    They look like males to me. But their coloring is throwing me off. The male Favs have black feathers on their chest while the female has white to brown chest feathers. Your’s has black and brown chest feathers. But comb is bright red so I’m leaning toward male. The pictures I added were of mine...
