LoL sumi I would love to see a pic of the week old chick taking on your older male. LoL

I agree with sumi, integration should be done slowly when chicks are ready to be outside I suggest keeping them within sight but in a separate pin so that the adults can get used to them without any harm coming to the little ones. Waiting a few months is ideally smart and as the time gets closer...

Ya I am gonna check it out cause those are very pretty. I am wondering i am no geneticist but I am wondering if you can cross breed other chickens and get a particular color, then breed that with a white silky until you breed the silky feathers and feet back but keep the color you were striving...

Lucky stand of breeding a white with a black? Not very certain how you get these.

This is some really good info I did not know that you had to have this done prior to shipping eggs and live birds out of state. I have yet to to ship because my flock only consists of two birds but soon as we (my husband and I) get our land back we will start a bigger flock. I am going to try...

I feed both my chickens three way grain mixed with wild bird seed. They do not care for sunflower seeds so I get the kind that is for small wild birds. For treat I like to give them corn bread and loaf bread my silkie loves fresh greens and fresh grass. She also enjoys fresh corn and dandelion...

Looks like a schnauzer to me too

I have a one year old Grey Game Stag named Buzzard. His name was made because when I got him at four weeks he looked just like a buzzard. He had all his body feathers but still lacked his head and upper neck ones. I was skeptical at first getting a game because of them being known as a more...

Sounds great, maybe when I can build my flock again I will add myself to it.

Temperaturefor baby chicks, and when can they be free of the lamp When I get new chicks I have never had to use a traditional heat lamp. I have found that on my covered porch I can get away with just a 60 watt bulb in a heating lamp. On cold days I just simply covered the in lit area with a...

Hehe they are cute that I do know. They look like they might be a mix of Easter-eggers... umm I know they are not americanas though. Probably a mix of Easter-eggers and a darker chicken of some sort, sorry I can't be anymore help then that.

Ok, I will definitely do that, thanks for the info. My husband is not to keen on veterinary care, he believes that if its meant to live, it will if not, then it was not meant to be (he is an old fashioned country man with old fashion country traditions). Like he doesn't believe in using a...

Well, I ended up taking her to a vet and they said she was ok, temp was good and all that. She is cleared up now, and still eats like a monster lol. She has gained some weight and looks really good now. Thank you all for your support. :)
