    The lady I got them from got them from a lady who also had Ameracauna (sp) chickens as well. I figured that's what the daddy was. I don't care, the lady told me she already went broody 3 times this year so I am giving her time to adjust then when she wants to go broody, I'll let her hatch some...

    Question about Show Quality/Exhibition Partridge Rocks

    I don't know where she came from originally. I traded a boer goat for some chickens already laying. I suppose some hatchery. I'll email the lady and find out. I think she's beautiful and I was told she goes broody frequently. I wanted her so she could hatch some barred rock chicks for me..

    Barred Rock Attitude-- Fact or Fiction?????

    My pullet is about 13 weeks old or so, and she is the same size as the hens just not filled out. They have a 20 X 80 lot to peck around in and they won't let that pullet eat, drink or go in the barn to roost until after dark. The pullet is the sweetest little thing. The hens could be 30 feet...

    Silkie thread!

    Hi, I'm not a silkie pro but have talked to one. I was told to pluck the down from around the vent and that would help the roo to be able to service the hen. But I'm not as experienced as some other folks. Here's some of my silkies.

    Help, i think my bunny is sick :( *UPDATE*

    I raise rabbits, and depending on the breed they don't have to have hay. If you feed a complete pelleted feed they will be fine. It sounds to me like her bun had Mucoid Enteritis. Which you remove all feed for 24 hrs, just give vitamin/electrolyte water, and some tetracycline in its water, also...

    Hi, I have 7 Barred Rock and 10 silkies. They all have layer crumbles free choice and I fix them cornmeal mash with some oats and ground veggies and cooked rice about 3 times or so a week.
