Here is a pic of Zanzibar to prove he exists! :P Pardon his chopped legs/vulture hocks!

Hello fellow Sultan owners! How is everyone today?! Zanzibar is convinced he is the hottest thing in the yard lately. I don't think he has figured out quite how to breed the ladies, though. He just likes to chase them incessantly until I am ready to kick him over the fence. Haha. :) Raja seems...

They have to be resistant. :( At first it was just a few and only noticed a few "moth holes" on one of my girls. I checked her and didn't see anything so used a preventative dusting. Didn't give much thought to it until one day I was gentling my main rooster. He is a bit flighty and silly, not...

Hi guys! Back again! Still unsure who is laying, but I know for sure I have one silkie hen and one red polish popping them out. :) I am getting three different colored eggs, however. A Cream, a white, and a tan so I know there has to be somebody else, but whoooo? Whoever it is keeps laying it...

Hi guys! Long time no talk! My laptop has been on the fritz so I haven't been online as much. :) Just wanted to update you on my kids! I for sure have a roo and two pullets now! Zanzibar has been trying to crow for a few weeks now which is pretty hilarious. :) Bali and Morocco are just as...

We were having fabulous weather for a while there! :) The chickens loved it! It was warm with a delicious breeze and chilly at night. Perfect in all ways and then we got this wacky storm that kind of kicked everything into a tailspin. This morning I woke up early to kick the girls out of the...

Haven't had much to report lately. :) Zanzibar is a little explorer. He is adventurous and inquisitive and so unlike the two girls. I often find him off on his own with the big chickens, pecking away and getting into things. Raja is doing great! I am thinking of clipping back her leg feathers...

Whew! So glad I don't have any broodies, yet! Lol! With the amount of silkies I have, it's bound to happen eventually, but nobody is laying yet so I am enjoying it while I can. ;) Good news, guys! The three baby sultans have finally fully integrated in with the "big kids"! Last night I found...

Aww, sorry Jharper. That really sucks! :( I remember when one of my buff silkies went missing and I was in the dark with a headlight strapped to my head, crying in circles trying to find her, lol. I can laugh about it now but at the time I was devastated that one of my babies just up and...

Guys, I am so nervous! For the past week or so the baby sultans have been out with the big kids and doing pretty good. First few days were rough but they are doing pretty well now. I JUST moved my last (and final, lol) batch of polish out to the coop and I am freaking out. I hope they will be...

Oh no, that is terrible. :( I am so sorry. I hope if he got chicken-napped it was quick and painless! <3!

Sultans are hard to resist! :) I have good news! I am almost certain, now, that I have 2 females and 1 male out of my 3 new babies! They are just getting to the point where the pink skin is beginning to show some color. Raja spends a lot of time with them, too. It's very cute, I think she...

Picture tiiime!!! That';s funny about the pacing. Raja always takes a while to hop out the coop in the morning. She always over exaggerates her leap. Quite comical!

So cute! Love the pics! I am so jealous that everyone has such sweet birds. My Raja wants nothing to do with me, lol! My baby sultans are starting to get the idea that people are fun! :) I am hoping some of them turn out a bit more cuddly. Good news is, I am not totally without chicken...

Aww, I wish Raja would cuddle with me! She seems much more at ease around me since she was sick that one time. She is also a chatty cathy, just talk talk talk talk talk talk talk. Between her and a buff polish I have, they just jibber jabber up a storm, lol!

Whew! It's a hot one today! It's supposed to get into the 100's. Guess who is getting frozen watermelon and ice cubes?! :)

Oo, Kiaa, love the pics! Gorgeous birds! Raja is doing well! :) No other issues. They are all due to be dewormed one last and final time on Monday. I picked up Corid, too, at the local feed store because nobody ever did end up answering my post. I was grasping at straws, and it's good to have...

Yeah, they are hard to find! I'd love to get a good, quality show line started but I haven't found anyone near or around me that has any. I don't have my bator set up yet to accept eggs so I'm stuck with what I have until I can start adding a few higher quality birds to my group. D: Update on...

Same here! This is the first time I've really had outright problems with my flock. Everyone was perfectly fine today, no limping or problems at all. I dewormed everybody because they were due on Thursday (but Roadrunner was sick so I held off) and then I worked around the coop to keep an eye on...

Quote: Aww, Nuggie is gorgeous! Mine also does the tail lever thing with the peeping. I find it hilarious, lol!
