I bought four call ducklings and this one has eye problems. The seller didn't tell me that until after I had agreed to buy them, then I felt sorry for the poor little thing and brought it home with the other three. Seems to be completely blind? What could be the problem and is there anything I...
I've got two Silkie roosters and 3 Silkie hens. Barnaby is black with gold and silver leakage, Julian is dark blue with a little red leakage. Esme is white, Glitter is splash, and Chiffon is porcelain. I've hatched a bunch of chicks recently and got blacks, whites, blues, grey, partridges, and...
I have 2 silkie roosters, 3 silkie hens, and 2 hens that are half silkie and half cochin. Those two are smooth feathered. What will the chicks look like that are 3/4 silkie? Will they be silkie feathered? Thanks!
My 7 month old buff silkie, Chiffon, is sick this morning. She seemed fine last night. She has yellow mucus in her nostrils and her eyes seem stuck shut with dried mucus. I washed them gently with a warm cloth, but she still can't/won't open them. I can't get her to eat or drink, but she is...
I've got a hen that lays olive eggs, part Marans I think because of the feathers on her legs. I was wondering what color eggs her offspring would lay if she was crossed with a rooster from a white egg breed? (I almost typed "if the rooster lays white eggs, lol)
I know to have an olive egg, she...
I just got a beautiful bantam black Crevecoeur rooster. If I put him with my silkie hens, what would the offspring look like. I assume they would have a Crest? My silkies are buff, white, blue, and splash. Thanks!
This is Ladybug, my bantam Cochin hen and her friend, Beauty. What color would you call Ladybug? Also, could Beauty be a Barnevelder? :fl Her feathers are much prettier than the camera shows. :loveThanks for your help!
What breed do you think she is? She has yellow legs, a big single comb and white earlobes. Her color reminds me of a Golden Cuckoo Marans or a Crele Penedesenca, but I don't think her comb/legs are right for those. Is she just a mutt?
I know Silkies are notoriously hard to sex, but do you think this one is a hen or a rooster? Its sisters act and look very feminine and its brother is crowing and trying to mate the hens, but this one is quiet, more like the hens, but looks more male. What do you think?
I have three roosters: a buff Cochin bantam, a red Cochin bantam, and a white Silkie.
My hens are white (dominant), white (recessive), barred/cuckoo, silver laced, gold laced, splash laced red, splash, buff, silver penciled, black, salmon, black breasted red, and buff columbian.
They are one...
I have three beautiful, sweet Barred Rock hens. They look almost identical. (I'm the only one who can tell them apart) I've been trying to come up with names, but can't find the right ones. Can one of you come up with some good triplet names or names related to each other? Thanks in advance!:bow
I have a 5 1/2 year old Red Star hen named Gertie. She was fine one night and the next morning she was laying on the floor of the coop. She seems to be blind. One leg is curled up and neither leg works. She can't walk or even sit up by herself. She lays on her side, occasionally flops wildly...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Hilda is a two(ish) year old Delaware hen. She is a healthy weight, neither too heavy or too light.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Laying extremely thin-shelled eggs or eggs with no...
