Do you know if they'll be advertising the swap anywhere? I'd love to attend, but I'm not a member of the forum you linked to so I can't access the thread. Thanks!

I can't wait! Looking forward to the swap, as always. We have 7 diamond doves that we'd like to sell at this swap. Is anyone out there interested in purchasing them? I don't want to transport them unless there's some interest. They are a range of ages between 1 and 3 years. They are mating and...

Oh, I was also hoping to find the very nice lady who was selling the white crested blue polish at the June swap. We bought a lovely pair of polish from you, and we just lost the hen last week to a darn hawk. It's our first loss to a predator, and we're so disappointed! Plus her mate is lonely...

So excited about the upcoming swap. These are always a blast! We will be bringing a handful of birds, including: silkie juveniles bantam polish (frizzle and smooth) 2 pastel call ducks (female, 4 months old) quail (button and coturnix) possibly also several modern game bantams We also have 6...

The plot thickens.. She laid a soft-shelled egg today. Could this be related to her swollen/inflamed vent? Or, do you think it's more likely to be a result of stress?

Perfect - I'm on my way to the feed store now. Thank you, again!

Thanks for this info, CMV! I really appreciate it! The other antibiotic that I have on hand is amoxicillin. It's my understanding that amoxicillin is a milder antibiotic. Do you think that would work to treat this infection? I haven't been able to find any reliable information as to whether...

We have a 2-year-old silkie hen with what appears to be an infection under the skin on her abdomen and vent. One spot is on her belly and about the size of a pea. Looks like it could possibly have started at the base of a feather. The other infected area is the top of her vent. This concerns...

Hi there, I'm hoping that someone has tried this watering system: http://www.cutlersupply.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_60_135&products_id=472 Each waterer is 9 inches and they connect together by tubing, and then they connect to a hose through a pressure reducer. I've...

I've been research watering systems and it's giving me a headache, too, so I feel your pain! :) It seems like the chickens would prefer to drink out of a pool of water instead of getting one drop at a time from the nipples. Our silkies and polish have feathers that partially cover their eyes...

I suppose I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. That's the exciting part about these swaps - you never quite know what you'll find when you get there

That's a terrific idea! Thanks gootziecat. I'm going to see what I can find out from the show secretary

I know this may be a long shot, but is anyone going to have Modern Game Bantams? We'd love to find a pretty little splash pullet. :)

What are they eating? Have you changed feeds lately to a new brand? I read that vitamin deficiencies are the primary cause of leg paralysis chickens, which ultimately leads to death. You're best bet may be to have one of your chickens necropsied so you can find out for sure. I'm sorry you are...

Thank you! They bring us so much joy. There's nothing we enjoy more than hanging out with our chickens :)

And a couple more white hens. Silkies are so addictive! :)

And here's one of our partridge roos

It's so much fun seeing pics of everyone's silkies! It's been so nice out lately - I've been out snapping loads of pics of our flock. Hope you don't mind if I share a few more! :)
