When I got home around six last evening from running errands, I found one of my three month old bantam cochin pullets with a large raw area on her back. I brought her in the house and examined her - the skin from the lower fourth of her back to the very tip of her tail is completely gone. (No...

I have some young Serama that I was planning on separating into a couple of breeding groups, as the pullets are starting to come into lay. However, my first girl to start laying has been trying intensely to go broody for a couple of weeks, and last night she finally defeated me. The eggs...

I have a little flock of Seramas that are just five months old, and are currently residing in a run built along my house. Sometimes they will come in the bathroom window if I leave it open, and sleep on the windowsill. The mess is incredible, but I can't bring myself to make them sleep outside...

I thought I would take one of my Serama chicks, and post a pic of her ( ) each day. I can't claim credit for the idea; got it from a page someone else had done, I think here on BYC. (However, I did do the daily pic thing with my niece for her first two weeks of life years ago...) I will try...

A few days ago I bought a 25 lb. bag of chick starter from a local feed/hardware store. I opened it tonight, and it smelled... stale. Didn't look bad, didn't seem damp or moldy, just smelled old. I even compared it with a tiny bit of other starter I had left - the other smelled fine. My...

As some of you might know from the Halloween Hatch thread, I incubated Serama eggs, due to hatch out on the 30th & 31th. Well, it was quite a roller coaster, with power outages, cats knocking the 'bator to the floor and cracking nearly every egg right at lockdown, a couple of small end...

I've got a Mille Fleur d'Uccle roo I'd like to rehome. I really like him, but my mom is enamored of our young EE cockeral, and since I don't want there to be fighting in our fairly small coop, one of 'em's gotta go. He's a nice little bird - doesn't bully the hens too much, and if you show him...

I have a silkie hen mothering mixed bantam chicks aged 14 days, 13 days, and 10 days old. Yesterday I moved their large dog crate nursery into a lightly shaded area in our yard, and they spent a few hours picking in the dirt. This afternoon, when I let them out, all the chicks were perky and...

This is kind of a long story, so please bear with me... My little silkie hen has been determined to sit a clutch for months now. I've taken away every egg as I have a rooster I'm trying desperately to rehome, as well as a two month cockeral. (Would you believe I bought two sexed Aracauna...
