    BROKEN LEG!!!

    We had a bird break it's leg there too. No penicillin was given. We splinted, kept in a small bin to reduce movement and separated from flock. He was close with one of our hens so we kept them together. Gave water with nutridrench and he healed up whole and healthy. Changed the splint every 3 or...

    The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

    How on earth do not end up Wirth feed all over the bottom of the broader in the first hour? We've tried all kinds of feeders and they just scratch it empty.

    Hopeful chicken mama

    Welcome! Idaho native here. Whichever breeds you choose will be amazing I'm sure. My home is filled with cats, dogs, chickens, turkeys and love! Although the feathered family live outside lol. My hubby also built our coops. We have multiple as our varied flock grew. I recently (much to hubbies...

    First time with silkies boys or girls?

    I brought them in for a pedicure and was able to get some more pictures. Here is rocket, a white satin silky. I got the eggs from Alabama Silkies. I also included some of the other birbs.

    Sulky's Flock

    I am one that would love to read about your birds and see pictures! I'm currently having an adventure in hatching and raising silkies for the first time. The chick's hatched early July and are 22 weeks old. Still learning lots about them. Here are some pics of them at various stages of growth...

    So sorry it's been so long. Life has just been crazy all over the place messy! However I finally have some photos of them at 22 weeks old. First we have rocket born July 4th. He is the only one with a larger comb and it has a reddish color. The Grey is racer and has a black comb that is more...

    Taking my chicken to the vet?

    Hello, hope your flock is feeling better! I agree with the cardboard idea in the crate. Sadly for me, in order to see a vet it's a one hour drive there and another hour back. Also it's considered a exotic pet so $150 just to see the vet, $45 exam fee per animal and then whatever treatment cost...

    This helps loads! Thank you!!!! It's dark already and after 10pm where I am. Thank you for doing that for me. I believe you are right and that bird is just too in the pecking order of the 5.

    We have narragansett turkeys and wound up with a rare red gene. We love the look of the blonde girl.

    First time with silkies boys or girls?

    Ah okay lol but the comb should help if I can navigate the fluff. How old before they usually start to crow? Any educational links would be awesome. I know chickens fairly well and turkeys but never had birds this small and fluffy. I try to guess and see if I'm right but always when I come here...

    Will a lone turkey be ok??

    We had a late hatch poult that was late enough that everyone was too big and momma rejected, put her with some chickens that were older and did okay. Just recently moved to our Medicoop with a tom that is still recovering from a broken leg and now they can't stand being separated. Going to worry...

    Nope, but I have lots butt shots, partly why I call them flufferbutts. Here is a pic of what I mean with the tail though.
