I would love to see your bbs Ams...!

Oh wow. I hope they have a really good air filtration system. That is not safe, or sanitary. Silkies are chickens, not house pets. I know, I tried. I had a special needs silkie when I first got started and bought him a chicken diaper and kept him inside. There was no way to keep up with the...

I can tell you that no matter how adorable they are, silkies should not be indoors. Entirely too much manure. I'd say sebrights or serama, maybe d'uccle...those are the smallest and least offensive when it comes to poo...

They are all so beautiful! Thanks for the pics, I will keep checking back here for eggies...

I know I'm a newbie to this thread, but felt I should comment on this topic. Kate has some very nice birds, she raises both bearded and non bearded. If you decide not to use him you might want to offer him for sale to someone who wants non bearded birds. Although most folks breed only bearded...

It would be helpful if folks could see images of your stock, all chicks are cute, do you have pics of the parent birds?

Hi funnyfarm - I have turkeys available if you really want to give your husband a fit!!

Hey Chickie I also raise silkies and ameraucanas, as well as the occasional EE and OEs (I read your signature). Yesterday I found the most intense blue egg I've ever seen. Came from an EE pullet. My husband picked out three EE chicks for me at RK and all three ended up being pullets and...

Hi. The campines are chickens. Very rare breed. I need to get some pics. I'll let you know soon on the araucanas. Also, if anyone is interested I have turkeys available. Around five months I believe. They are blue slate and Bourbon red mixes.

Hi folks, haven't been here for a while but thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any campine breeders in IN? I know they are endangered and ended up with two cocks that needed a home, as well as two araucanas. Not sure if I want to get some females of these breeds or just let these go if someone...

Silkies have blue-black skin, organs, and bones. Might want to tell your dad lol. Most folks do not like black bird meat, though Asian folks do. Hopefully you can find him a pet home because he is not ever going to be a show bird. Also, most would never breed that bird. He isn't show or...

Location?

As far as free-ranging, it depends on the birds. Show quality birds should never be free-ranged. Some time on the grass with direct supervision, yes. But never free ranging in the true sense of the word. Edited by Staff

Vaulted skulls should not be petted or rubbed. Brain damage can occur, regardless of age. Silkies should never free range. Never ever. You will most certainly lose them. Even the hatchery silkies aren't likely to do well free ranging. Edited by Staff

What is neck clot? I'm going to be butchering soon and looking for the best way. Never heard of neck clot and did a search on it to no avail...thanks!

Thanks Magdelaine. I was hoping to find one sooner than our next show (April). Even at that I've never seen an Am other than bantams here. I will definitely be looking though.

Thanks. I've been to the ABC breeders' directory but no bbs in Indiana. I was hoping to find someone (close) here that wasn't listed yet perhaps...otherwise I will have to have one shipped. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. Here is the guy I lost...he could've had more beard but...

Okay so here is my Am...her name is Shelly (original) and she desperately needs a nice blue cockerel or cock. She is my lone am. Seems no one in Indiana has them. Drat. Thinking about showing Shelly in the spring. I'm not knowledgeable but figure it can't hurt.

I would LOVE some snow. Not a bit here...just mud and rain and I'm sick to death of it. Go Seahawks...hope Brady loses his head!

Yea no kidding. Long shot but thought I'd try. I lost my blue cock bird and would really like another. I like EEs too, but want a purebred Am boy to go with my girl. Edit: So sorry about your dog...wow you had a coyote attack you??? That had to be scary. And no, I don't encourage my dog...
