LoL sumi I would love to see a pic of the week old chick taking on your older male. LoL

I agree with sumi, integration should be done slowly when chicks are ready to be outside I suggest keeping them within sight but in a separate pin so that the adults can get used to them without any harm coming to the little ones. Waiting a few months is ideally smart and as the time gets closer...

Ya I am gonna check it out cause those are very pretty. I am wondering i am no geneticist but I am wondering if you can cross breed other chickens and get a particular color, then breed that with a white silky until you breed the silky feathers and feet back but keep the color you were striving...

Lucky stand of breeding a white with a black? Not very certain how you get these.

This is some really good info I did not know that you had to have this done prior to shipping eggs and live birds out of state. I have yet to to ship because my flock only consists of two birds but soon as we (my husband and I) get our land back we will start a bigger flock. I am going to try...

I feed both my chickens three way grain mixed with wild bird seed. They do not care for sunflower seeds so I get the kind that is for small wild birds. For treat I like to give them corn bread and loaf bread my silkie loves fresh greens and fresh grass. She also enjoys fresh corn and dandelion...

Looks like a schnauzer to me too

I got him in a strait run of what was supposed to be RiRs. He was just kinda thrown in the mix.

I have a one year old Grey Game Stag named Buzzard. His name was made because when I got him at four weeks he looked just like a buzzard. He had all his body feathers but still lacked his head and upper neck ones. I was skeptical at first getting a game because of them being known as a more...

Sounds great, maybe when I can build my flock again I will add myself to it.

Temperaturefor baby chicks, and when can they be free of the lamp When I get new chicks I have never had to use a traditional heat lamp. I have found that on my covered porch I can get away with just a 60 watt bulb in a heating lamp. On cold days I just simply covered the in lit area with a...

Hehe they are cute that I do know. They look like they might be a mix of Easter-eggers... umm I know they are not americanas though. Probably a mix of Easter-eggers and a darker chicken of some sort, sorry I can't be anymore help then that.

Ok, I will definitely do that, thanks for the info. My husband is not to keen on veterinary care, he believes that if its meant to live, it will if not, then it was not meant to be (he is an old fashioned country man with old fashion country traditions). Like he doesn't believe in using a...

Well, I ended up taking her to a vet and they said she was ok, temp was good and all that. She is cleared up now, and still eats like a monster lol. She has gained some weight and looks really good now. Thank you all for your support. :)

Ok, so here are my 2 pygmy goats. The left is a girl the right a boy. The one on the left is 4 mo the one on the right is 9.5mo Ok so I got this little girl home last night, and she started coughing, has some eye drainage and nose drainage, and she had some diarrhea. I am concerned really...

Oh, well I didn't know that sorry!!! don't listen to me :S Well we don't feed them that now.. I told my husband that and he was like "Oh CRAP!" well no more laying food for them. I am sorry about that, I didn't know because we never had any issues with it. Now we just mix starter feed with our...

The ducks and the chickens are in different Pins. The ducks are in an eight by 4 pen and the chickens are elsewhere. I know not to put them together :) Thanks though for helping :D Funny though that they try and mate with them lol. But all jokes aside they in a closed pin that is 8ft by 4ft and...

Well, the laying feed won't hurt any of them to be honest, I have been feeding all mine that for a bit now, even the Roos. They don't seem to mind it, and they all look brighter and more energetic then when I was not feeding it to them. Even chicks can get some extra vitamins from it. I have fed...

Yes I do.
