Bump

This is her pick. I might also add that her feet are greyish and there are slight hints of gold in her primary feathers coming in.

My feed store had chicks and ducklings today and I picked up a few. I got a sex link and this mystery bantam chick that was being trampled by pekins. Anyways, the cute little thing had no breed, the store didn't know it either. It's a light grey/blue with dark grey starting feathers. Clean...

Hi everyone! I'm going to try and get ahold of a chick or two and unfortunately the minimum order for me is 5 :( So I'm hoping that maybe someone or a few someones who would like a few chicks would be interested in a group order. I live in Yulee right outside of Jacksonville Florida. If you're...

Thanks for the tips! The Milles are my favorite D'Uccles. Is there anyway to tell the genders apart at such a young age? I'm 20 years old and I'm not doing a 4-h project. However, I'm diagnosed with depression and I'm hating the side affects of my medicine. I'm getting bantam hens mainly as...

Hi guys. Well, I'm counting down the days till chick day at the local feed stores. My parents told me I could get two chicks at that time. I am hoping to get D'Uccle chicks but, I need some help. Does anyone have some clues or tips to help me pick out D'Uccle pullet chicks? Some pics would be...

I used a 20 gallon fish tank, a stuffed Dino and a therapeutic heat pad. I had no brood lamp and all my 3 chicks did just fine.

Well, I want them to be as free range as possible while also containing them in a safe area and not killing all the grass. I was thinking maybe a 4 foot tall plastic mesh for a fencing that is 150 ft long. If I created a square area out of that it'd give me about 1,406 sqft. If I'm only getting...

Well, it's been a long time since I've been here and after 5 months without chickens I can finally get more. My last four were rehomed to a family that lost their home to a fire. This time I am only getting 2-3 and I want to try and avoid the mistakes I made and innovate a little. My first...

I have just got ahold if a new white silkie hen. However, she has a few features that I'm unsure of. One is that when I put her on grass she practically freezes, the other is that some of her feathers, especially in her neck are a very fine buff color. Can anyone explain these?

I have a pair of cockatiels for pick up only. The yellow headed one in the back is a male named Houston. He's not hand tamed but, he does know a few whistles that are pretty cute. I'm sure he could be tamed easily. The silver one is a female named Amelia after the island we live on. She is...

Well, I'm not sure if mixed species love stories is allowed but, here is mine. My chicks are a little over a month old, and my australorp has fallen in love with my golden retriever. She follows him around and snuggles with him. It's cute because he's a harmless dog, never even barked in his...

a polish or a sultan : 3 and maybe a silkie X)

Quote: yeah : (, I'd call to have it removed but, I think it's such a shame they kill them so I don't. So long as he stays in the pond, my family and I are fine with it.
