Pampered pet... I've been debating calling her (assuming shes a she) Marie Antionette.

She was really shy but now shes a cuddle bug- prefers to be held vs run around in yard.

What about: For the Love of Silkies

Feeling sad. Just rehomed the last two of my roos and this set included my longest living silkie who was also my cuddle bug (all my others passed as very young chicks). While I have a new white silkie to love on who I hatched here at home, I don't know if its a male or female yet and now I'm...

Anyone know of swaps near Gainesville/Micanopy this weekend?

Here's a better face pic.

Hi All, I have 3 chickens I'd like to play Roo or Hen with. Please share your thoughts. All are older than 10 weeks. Brown is supposed to be an ameracauna, grey-black one is English Orpington- and a silkie. Ameracauna and English Orp have testy attitudes and sound they they are attempting...

Sorry about your loss. I'm in Jacksonville and its been 100 here too. I've been freezing big hunks of watermelon and putting them out in the am before I head to work. They stay cool awhile and the girls nibble or slurp the juice throughout the day. They pick it clean by dinner time.

We are gonna have to have...

No, we can't have roos. I dont think my neighbors would have a problem, but a second roo in the neighnorhood may test their patience. There's someone with a rooster nearby and he crows near constantly, so I'm afraid of loosing my permissions due to complaints regarding their rooster.

Agreed. My husband is upset and is hanging on for no crowing. I at least want to get a few chicks out of him if it's a roo before he heads for sale.. some pay back for time, feed, and sore ankles!!!

I have a splash orpington, acts the same way. Staring to get red faced and comb looks different than other orpingtons I've had.Also pecks my ankles. Really poor feather development too, so I'm having a tough time with sexing mine too. She is the one in the lower right corner. I'd love to see...

Egg-cellent news! Keep up the great work!
