Looks like a buff bantam cochin to me Precious Julie

As a breeder of Show Dogs, I have learned the exact same thing exists in the dog show world. Even breeding 2 Show Quality dogs who have their championship/ OFA X-ray/ perfect health/ and so on..... there is no way to assure someone a young pup will turn out to be show quality. I have seen bites...

Hi Friends, I live in the Memphis area and I have 4 Cukoo Bearded silkie roosters who are looking for a home. They hatched in early Spring so they are about 9 months old now. They have been hand raised by me. Until they were 3 months old, they lived inside my house and were hand carried by...

Well, a year ago,,,I shipped eggs and I have also received lots of eggs myself. Some packed well,,,others not! I was amazed as how some eggs arrived at my house. I've had people hardly pack them well at all as though they were shipping a pair of shoes. Sad!! I have found,,for me,,,the best...

Thank you Sundown!!! That's all I needed to know! On my way now Julie Thank you again!

Hi, I'm not sure what topic to put this in but I wanted to ask...I need to mail some fertile eggs and need to know if I'm supposed to tell the post office that it's eggs in the box or not. I don't want them to be x-rayed but if I tell them,,,not sure they would ship them since it is...

Hi, it's been a year since I mailed fertille eggs to someone,,,I can't remember what I said to post office....I'm sending them Priority mail ...Do I tell the Post office that these are eggs or not??? I'm afraid they will tell me they can't ship them Priority if I do....? Please advise. I just...

Okay,,,I will send yall a message through the messages folder. Thanks, Julie

Hi Guys, I haven't been on here in ages but I thought I would post this. I have a Splash colored (precious-sweet-kind-gentle-my favorite) silkie hen who is laying fertile eggs right now. She is not broody right now but another hen of mine is so I've been putting her eggs under that one. I...

Hey Charlie, Thank you!!!! For the reply! Yes, that helps and I will indeed check him carefully. I did not know the roosters would molt also. Every time I get on this site, I learn something new. I'm not a big computer person so I'm not on here often but when I have a chicken question, this...

Also, I realize that hens lose their feathers and grow new ones but do roosters do this as well? I know this must be a dumb question to most of yall but I haven't raised enough birds yet to know all this. I've only had chickens for 1 1/2 years. I'm very over protective of them and I just want...

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what is going on but I have a silky rooster, one of 4 roosters, who is loosing his feathers. He almost looks like he has the mange. There is a broody female sitting on eggs in the barn and they are now all doing well. 2 of my other roosters are silkies and they are...

It is killing me to write this because the thought of it makes me sick. My standard cochin hens along with one buff orpington and one dark brahma are all broody and all sitting on eggs and hatching in their barn. About 4-5 days ago the first one hatched. Did great -no problems. I left the...

Hey Ladies! It's good to hear from my ole friends. I apologize for not jumping on here too often. It seems I only come when I have a problem! I'm sorry. I'm just not a big computer gooroo. I used to be but not I have taken up crocheting and I enjoy that in my free time instead of the...

So my silkie broody hen has managed to hatch a couple of her eggs so far today. It was a surprise even though I knew we were getting close as she has been sitting on her eggs a while now. She also has a foster hen who is broody helping with the hatching process. They are very good friends...

Hi, I have a 4 month old silkie rooster who has developed totally normally up until lately. He is holding his head side ways and this morning upside down. He is tilting it upside down. He started this 4 days ago. At first he barely held it sideways and I thought he was just looking at...

Hi, I've never known this exactly for sure but I figure you guys would know the answer.....once a fresh egg has been laid by my chicken, how long does it have before it expires? I gather eggs twice a day and date them then refrigerate the eggs. I never know exactly how long before they...

Okay, thanks for the information. I did what you said and it worked. Also, they are interacting with my other birds today finally. It's a nice sunny day here so I'm giving them some bonding time. All is much better! Wheeeew! Thanks so much! Julie

Hi, Yesterday I received 2 ten month old silkies. They were shipped through the mail and made it to my house in one day. Since they got here yesterday they are very still and are not eating or drinking. What do I do??????? Julie

Hi, one of my buff silkie chicks about 12 days old now has started doing a weird yawn looking neck movement. She/he first opens beak then turns head to the side and looks like he's yawning kind of and dipping his head to the side. Something is wrong here,,,he's doing it about every 30 seconds...
