I am totally stumped. I got 4 silkie bantams from TSC about 2 weeks ago, but one seems to be not growing AT ALL! It's name is MoonPie. 🥰 Yes, it has grown a bit, but it is SO MUCH smaller than my other babies. Fortunately they don't pick on it, but I'm curious as to why it's so much smaller.
I...
Can anyone help me make a list of chicken breeds with Feathered Feet and Beards?
Here's what I have so far 😂
1. D'Uccles
2. Bearded Silkies
3. Faverolles
4. Sultans
5. Mutts
6. Polkies
Hi, I bought some silkie chicks and most of them have hard feathering. I'm planning to breed the hard feathered ones with the chicks with the correct feathers. How many generations I'd need to breed before all the chicks I hatch have the fluffy Silkie feathering?
These are my 1st ever batch of chicks. Started off with 12, had some accidents, had some infetiles, and ultimately ended up with 6.
I just wanted to share some pictures, I am so happy that they all hatched! These are 3 of the chicks, the rest are black like the one in the picture.
Also, I...
I have been waiting to get some Plymouth Barred Rocks for a while, and they had some today at the feed store! I am in LOVE! All three are doing great in the brooder and I’m half tempted to go get some more tomorrow!!
This project is designed to create giant fluffy chickens.
Who doesn't love Silkies, & wish they had some the size of Brahmas?
I have both Silkies, & Brahmas, color patterns isn't a concern until Silkie feathering, 5 toes, & black skin are produced.
I'll only be using my largest Silkie...
hello there! I’m a little worried because my 2 day old chick got covered in egg yolk. Long story short the mama hen stepped and cracked an egg and her baby chick wandered in it! so now the baby chick looks like she she just hatched with her feathers smoothed out around her body, however her head...
Rescued this little thing yesterday. It is in treatment, so you don't have to comment about it's leg:) any guess on breed from this or wanna take stab at gender and test out your sexing abilities lol! It's only a couple days old and i know its too young to really tell, but though it would be...
Hi everybody! I'm a new chicken lover and I've been obsessing over which breed this one chick could be!
It's the only chick I picked out of the bin that is supposed to be females...Soo...any guesses??
:)
It will be 5 weeks old tomorrow!!
I have four hens, two a year old, but for the other two it’s their first summer!
One of them seems fine, but my other (chocolate orpington) seems to be breathing really badly!!
She’s panting nonstop, and I gave her grass and she ‘ate’ it but it came back up and she started coughing... she’s...
I just picked these little cuties up today, and I'm not 100% sure what breeds they are.
The bigger ones are packing peanut chicks from an order with Ideal Poultry. I'd like to keep one or two, and I've looked on their website and found some matches, but figured I'd double check with you guys...
I have this cochin silkie mix who has not pooped in about 2-3 hours. She is perfectly normal otherwise, and she is bright eyed and walking around normally. But she also has sour crop that I have been treating her for ever since today. I have withdrawn food in order for it to heal and am feeding...
I love ducks! I want more ducks, but before I ever do so, I needed to know more about them and their eggs. So, I decided to write a little about my smarts on duck eggs. Yep, I got some smarts. :lol: :p
