Boy are chickens smart! We took our beautiful white silkie roo to Herriman yesterday and when I went into the run this morning, all of the girls were huddled in the corner clucking and totally wouldn't move. Usually they meet me at the gate waiting for treats. It was as if they were afraid to...
Thanks for all of the support. Now I just have to keep my son convinced it is a roo. He read somewhere about hens "crowing" and now he wants to be convinced that he may be a she!
I love the folks on here! I took your advice about KSL and I think I have placed my roo! Someone's white silkie hen is lonely and wants a playmate in Herriman. So, here is the last picture of him before we have to take him to her. He will be so happy and will never know how close he was to...
So since I am new to this and have only gone on what IFA told me about roosters, I have to find a home for my silkie roo. I don't mean to sound desperate but my DH says it has to go.... like yesterday. What did the rest of you that can't have roosters do with yours when they grew up? Every...

auntie Hattie thanks for asking. This is the second time we have done this and it is so nice. We rent a condo right on the Lake and put my dad and mom from Napa, California in one room, my sister and brother-in-law from Wisconsin in another room, my brother's family from Tampa take up 3bedrooms...
Just on my way home from Lake Tahoe for a family reunion so I have been out of the loop for a week. I did call Wheeler farm and they don't take chickens any longer so I will have to call Thanksgiving Point when I get back. Don't want to risk my whole flock for one silky roo.....no matter how...
Sitting at my son's birthday dinner last night at a really nice restaurant and I turn to him and my daughter-in-law and ask them if they have any fresh grass. The looks on my other two boys and husband's face was priceless. My birthday boy turns to me and says, "Mom, your dealer must not be...
