According to the standard Brown Red and Birchen modern games should have gypsy faces. This is not a black skinned bird it just has a lot of melanisers in it's skin that cause the gypsy (or mulberry) in the face. There are a lot of Modern games cockerels with red faces but the ideal is that they...

I'm looking for a cocopop serama male or a birchen serama female. I am trying to start a colour project so if it's possible to post several pictures of the sale bird, and it's parents, I would really appreciate that. I really don't care that much about price as long as the bird is worth it. I...

It's hard to tell from the picture, but if the feathers curl outward it's a frizzle.

Though some books suggest that birds of the same breed will gravitate toward each other, you can totally mix and match whatever breeds you want. My only suggestion would be to pick birds of similar size (no bantams and large fowl, though this can work). A few good layers are: Rhode Islands...

I just hatched chicks last month. I would recommend keeping the chicks and broodies inside if you aren't already. They don't technically need heat if they have a mother, but it will make it easier for them to run around instead of staying under the broody. I would recommend a heat lamp.

Pictures would be really helpful. Is the swelling located around feathers, or just swollen?

Welcome, Jeff!

Alain, the ameraucana, died today. I am considering sending her in for testing. Though externally the bumps appeared to be feather cysts, when punctured they were fleshy (like tumors) instead of filled with an infection (like bumblefoot and feather cysts). They were external tumors which...

If anyone is interested or has this problem with there birds: It turns out she has a common genetic defect, found most famously in a strain of chickens bred for disease testing but also naturally. This defect is a genetic linking of uveitis, which causes blindness and loss of colour in the...

Do you breed, and sell?

We have been giving her nutri-drench. She has lost significant weight (severely underweight), and is acting really strange. She has never been a friendly bird and hates being held. Usually she is very vocal on this point, but now she's just very quiet and only struggles when I touch her...

Any ideas about gender?

Can you feather sex baby seramas?

Here are her eyes And these are her feathers. They came in black, and now are slowly loosing pigment.

My 2 and a half year old wild type Ameraucana is covered in several feather cysts. I believe it is due to genetic nutrient deficits. I can't find any source on how to treat them other them surgery, which is not an option because of the sheer number of cysts. Also they appear to be getting...

My bantam golden laced Cochin went in to molt recently. She was kind of moping around at first, but we just thought it was a hard molt. When she didn't get better we brought her inside and tried to figure out what was wrong with her. We checked her eyes and her pupils didn't react to light so we...

Ok thanks. Well that would be disapointing if Bernadette is a boy she/he is very sweet. And one more thing the photos don't really show this but Selene, Bernadette, and Drusilla are all alot smaller than Nancy. I'd like to hope Bernadette isn't a boy but well see. Thanks again.

Please help! I have 4 almost 9 week old silkie chicks. I think I have 3 hens and 1 rooster. I really need to know soon because somebody, not sure yet who, just started crowing and we can't have roosters where we live. Here are pictures of 3 of them when they were 8 weeks old. Suspect #1...

Here are three of my four silkie chicks. They are currently 6 weeks but will turn 7 weeks this Tuesday. Thanks so much for this. Nancy (Blue Silkie) I'm pretty sure she is a rooster because of his/her large comb. Sorry about the bad pictures of him/her. She/he doesn't really like pictures...
