I'm wondering if Muscovy hens will retain viable sperm from matings as do chickens, allowing them to keep producing fertile eggs for a period of time even in the absence of a mature male. Anyone's direct experience and observations to share would be greatly appreciated. If they do, I'd love to...

I have a 2 week old black silkie chick who was purchased in the local area and has been living with one of her literal siblings, and my hatched babies that came from parents who I own. All of my personal flock's babies are great and have had no troubles. This little one (nicknamed Pigeon - my...

I need to find a home for my pet rooster Cricket. I got him from a hatchery some years ago when he was a couple days old. He is a beardless, big-eyed, attention-loving Silkie rooster. We are moving soon and cannot bring him, so are looking for someone who is willing to take him in and give him...

I have 2 grown white guineas for sale, 15$ each. Both are about 6-7 months old and were raised together. I am absolutely not willing to ship. I will meet to sell around the Santa Rosa area, north of SF. If you'd like to buy from further away, you'll have to take a drive.

Looking for bearded black or partridge silkie pullets/hens and a bearded cuckoo silkie rooster in northern or central California. Not interested in individuals with over-sized head poofs who cannot see at all. I prefer not to give them haircuts. I've been trying to get ahold of black hens for...

My friend was raising more "McMeaties" this year, as we call them, and I managed to talk her out of continuing with them in years to come for various reasons, but this would be another story antirely. Around processing time, somehow one of our hens sustained a rather large injury behind her...

I have a couple of questions with some background first, hoping to find any info that might help me pinpoint what is wrong with my bantam Sultan hen. I have already taken her to a vet whose abilities I have much faith in (he's helped me much in the past), however I don't think he's got the right...

I know he's some part silkie for a couple reasons - the 5th toe, some of his skin was blue-tinted as a baby (the rest pink) and as he'd grown, his legs have become completely blue. His beak and facial skin remain pink. Has a little beard and poofy cheeks. The last two were taken...

I bought this little LITTLE guy from a batch of "assorted bantams" at the local feed store, along with Conan who I'll post about later. No pics of Conan on this laptop. They both appear to be hens, and the names are sticking, lol... But I can't figure out what either of them are breed-wise...

I have a 3-4 day bantam mutt I just bought from the local feed store who had been very lively, active and attentive up until maybe an hour ago. Eating, drinking, pooing. He has started leaning back and pushing his legs straight out in front of him, pulling his head back until it slides to the...

The newest addition here, Wicket! 3 day old silkie chick. Hatched from the eggs I got from jab91864. He had the tiniest egg of all. This one's definitely gonna be a lap chicken Here he is chillin on my sheepskin. Named after... Ya, I'm a Star Wars freak. Here's his buddy, Clive who...

I know there's gotta be at least a few of you who hunt. I'm looking for some recipes for raccoon or tips on making jerky, particularly venison. Got some?

Warning, you may experience health issues due to cute overload.... you have been warned! Here is Vamp-A-Billy's Bobo, in his new pink and purple sweater she made

Figured some of ya might get a kick out of this mug... Her name is Killface, LOL. Friends have been scared of her from that look she gives and wouldn't go in the enclosure to pet the others even, but she is actually one of the nicest an friendliest of our Wyandottes. She just looks downright...

I'm sure this sounds crazy, but ever since I got these two I've wanted to see how crazy their babies might look! I love both their temperments, they are quite sweet. These two are inseparable and Robert (roo) doesn't have much interest in any of the other hens except Butters here. She's been...

I have a White Crested Black Polish roo and I want to bring him and his 'sister', my Buff Orpington hen, inside. In all the pictures and videos I have viewed from people who diaper their chickens, all I have ever seen is -hens- and generally what I would call the more simpler-tailed ones...
