That is more than I need, I'll be giving away/selling eggs to friends and family for sure. 😅 The silkie hen won't produce as much, but the other 4 should produce a lot!

Felt like dropping a picture of my Silkie rooster (cockerel actually) in here, he is still only like 10 weeks old but already learning to crow! Not show quality but a pretty bird bike the less, he also has 6 toes on one foot and 4 on the other! His name is Uncle Baby, a Rightous Gemstones...

I have a mixed flock of 6! They are not laying age yet, but they should come July. The rooster just started crowing too. I'd be tempted to have another small flock, but I think this is a good size considering my partner doesn't like eggs that much so I'll have more than I need! 1 White Silkie...

Just making sure y'all agree with this being the correct breed, I love her regardless! Purchased her as Blue Laced Golden Wyandotte from a Co-op. About 10wks old now!

Oh yeah, well explain this! I'll wait...

Still thinking pullet but no idea what breed that is, assuming a hybrid but no idea. Pretty bird so far!

I'm no expert by any means, but after looking at a lot of birds this year trying to get better at sexing I would lean towards pullet. But you know how it goes sometimes, late development and whatnot could change things. In my personal chicks I've noticed a behaviour difference as well, my...

Just moved from Chicago to East Tennessee so we could have more space for chickens and gardening 😅 Was up there for 8 years, you keep them within the city? That's so crazy, I think I saw chickens once within the city but it was just a few hens.

😅 poor girl, at least she will be unique!

I understand that but the other chickens I've raised have more of a tail before the final molt, just curious if this is a sign that her tail might come in shredded with new feathers. Again, I don't mind, just a curiosity.

Not that I will mind because I love her none the less, but do you think she (Luanne) will ever have a tail or did the shredder gene do it's work and it will more or less look like this when she is full size? She is over 6 weeks old and a great chicken that has paired with our Speckled Sussex...

Really nice looking birds! The feathers are great, congrats!

Agree as well

Oh wow that's cool! I have some great wool that I need to figure out how to clean/process and do something with. I work at a museum that preserves the Appalachian heritage so we have sheep shearing events and I grabbed some of the best quality wool from our last event. Thinking maybe felting...

I had to stop our rooster at work from eating a mouse, didn't think it was a good idea haha. Also the snail story is awesome. What a journey!
