I think I made a frankencolor! Dark comb, red wattles, pigmented patches on neck, dark around eye skin. Is this critter recessive for the mottling gene? An alien species?It’s a….that looks gross while grooming itself. Only six weeks old.

Boy you sure look good in the sunset light! He’s a little cocky but if looks could kill… You have that light in your eyes, that burning ring of fire. I never knew that a modified pea comb could look so beautiful. All of the girls just stop and stare, even the guineas are in love. ‘What do you...

Free silkie cockerels if you take all otherwise $5 each, I have buff, blue, splash and black. I also have small bantams that are 18 weeks old. Serama and old English cross, they will be small and the pullets are docile. They aren’t all white feathered, but are pale isabell, light grey (maybe...

I have a funny one for y’all. I have a few silkies and one pullet had just developed a big crest.Her feet feathers were growing out longer from when she was in the wire bottom grow out pen. Clumsy me accidentally stepped on her one and only foot feather that wasn’t shortened. The crazy girl...

I also have a mini silkie micro mix chick. It has wittle legs.

He has found the perfect nest

I let the chickens free range and decided to grill while they were out, one of my hens was standing on the porch licking her beak as I flipped pork chops over. I’m screaming at my girl, “Don’t even think about it!” I didn’t want grilled chicken too but she sure wanted those pork chops! I had to...

Thanks

I have several broody hens and I’ve run out of brooder pens for when the chicks hatch. I also collect roosters for some freaking reason! I hope my hatch isn’t mostly roosters because I’ll for sure get attached to at least one of them. “Raise chickens they said, it’ll be fun they said” It’s fun...

Update!!!!!! The little one ain’t got no legs, it waddles!!!!! (Squeals like a little kid on the inside) Its sibling looks like a giant, lol.
