I just thought I'd share a pic of my girl D'Artagnan.
Edit: not trying to say she's full silkie or anything, just wanted to share a pic....
Does anyone else have any pale skinned silkies? :) I don't care if they're mutts or not haha
Please? I really hate having old threads pop up because someone replied to it without paying attention to the original post date. Is there some way I can filter it out?
What are the in-between steps? There's ice baths, salt brine, sitting in the fridge? When they mention resting in the fridge - is it in liquid or no?
I'm going to try to process some quail soon. But how soon after dispatching can they be consumed?
Some people mentioned adding spices to a salt...
I'm presuming this one is a boy. But he is less developed than the other silkie we have. Going to be culling some chickens soon, just want to make sure that this one doesn't accidentally get killed if it's a pullet.
Had fun tonight painting a chicken on a small pumpkin! :) Thought you guys would appreciate. It turned out pretty decent considering I haven't painted on a pumpkin before lol.
That seems pretty young to me. He tried mounting his foster mom. She is a bit smaller in height than him. She didn't care for this behavior. Was it just a dominance thing or???
So, we have four roosters in a flock of 23 (11 'adult' ladies) How do you go about which roosters to keep? Two of the boys are more dominant. One seems to be quite rough with the ladies. The two submissive boys try to stay out of the way of the other males.
The biggest of the dominant males...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My parents had chickens when I was young, but in late March I got my first batch of chicks for myself <3
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
23 haha. Picked up 15 for my first batch. And just recently got some more chicks...
