    Debbie's Silkies

    One of those is not like the others. I'll get a better picture, but this is yours. :) Yup, wild with the rest!

    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    Going from what Bobbi Porto (silkie exhibition breeder) at indigoegg.us told me, she will not ship just one chicken in a box. I wanted two pullets from her, and she also would not sell me just pullets; I also had to buy, at a reduced cost, two roosters. By the time I was done, I had received...

    Looking for a source in the USA for standard size Silkies

    Bantam is a class reference to size and silkies can be considered bantam, but I've come across a few with true bantam breeds that sometimes don't like silkies thrown into that classification. I think it's a manner of thinking is all. I don't know what google was talking about with two...

    Looking for a source in the USA for standard size Silkies

    Gotcha. I have just silkies here. Not sure if they're considered standard or bantam as I never weighed them. These are show quality, and I strive to meet SOP standards. One of them recently won in a national competition in Ohio.

    Debbie's Silkies

    I got pictures of the chicks finally, right when they came out. These were hen-raised so wild as heck! There are some older ones to the right that live with them. I had hatched these and gave them to a broody for the purposes of helping my spring rush of people wanting chicks. I started...

    Carolina Coop - Painting, Staining, Upgrades, etc.

    We checked into doing DLM with ours. We chose not to, and went with horse bedding pellets. Why? We have a linoleum floor. We already have humidity issues (Wisconsin is a humid state, especially where we are) and DLM would make things worse, not better, and Horse bedding pellets are virtually...

    What do you mean by Standards? I call mine show quality (bearded and vaulted). There's a link to my silkie page in my signature if you want to see what I mean.

    Enclosure setup/dividing it

    Hi! Beautiful photos! I almost think 10x10 is a lot for quail unless you have a lot of quail. Depending, you could probably do a 5x10 to not cut the ducks off as much. It appears you let your ducks free range though so they probably won't care. Here's a great quail article that might help...

    No Chickens in the house he said

    They have a condominium! Cute! Love it! That's always funny how people change their minds until they see them. We have ducks now, in addition to around 50 chickens. ☺️

    Clipping game chicken hens wings

    Hi, and welcome to BYC! I've never clipped one of our chickens or ducks, but have done our macaw parrots a few times. We only do one wing of each. Three and a half feet might be questionable. They still have flight, just can't get much air when one wing is missing half the feathers. Here's...

    Debbie's Silkies

    My understanding of partridge silkies as if you have a white rooster, you might randomly but not commonly, pop a partridge out with any given silkie hen. I found that to be true with my pet quality ones. They have a white rooster, and in years past, when that's all I had, I had gotten several...

    Oh no. They use the ramp. Maybe it's not in all of the pictures but all four pens are identical and I saw it in one for sure.
