    Lame Pekin

    Here is a pic, it looks like the shaft is almost broken through but it isn't, the black line is where the betadine turned the blood black. I'm thinking there would be less pressure on the break if I trimmed the feather back but not sure how far I can go

    Lame Pekin

    I just noticed my little Pekin Frizzle roo was limping and picked him up for a look and his foot is quite warm compared to the other one. There is no swelling or other injury but the shaft of one of his large toe feathers is broken at the base with blood around it so I'm presuming this is the...

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Yay! just worked out how to quote Even though I too am well aware of what can occur when crossing frizzle to frizzle, I accidentally incubated a double frizzle egg this season from the little cuckoo girl I posted earlier as I was not aware that she had started laying - below is the resulting...

    Thanks Fancy! I don't know how to post a quote so hope you see this. Love the pic with the pony, I often have pics like that or with a cat photobombing lol. What about the red instead of mulberry on the cockerel?

    Fancychooklady these are the 2 Silkies I was telling you about - what colour would you call them, are they just 'grey'? One is much more notably striped than the other, the second one just has stripes in her wing feathers And the cockerel has dull red wattles and comb with mulberry spots on...

    Cracked beak

    Fancychooklady don't they cauterize the beak when they cut it to stop it from growing back?

    Cracked beak

    Hi Ben, unlike your roo it wasn't actually lengthways down the beak, it was straight across as in debeaking but much higher up. As well as twisting into a scissor beak it was curling under down the side where the crack was and I couldn't do much about that, but I trimmed her beak at the front to...

    2 week old chick still can't walk unaided

    An update on my little Polish girl, she obviously considered me her 'mummy' and loved to snuggle, she never made a fuss and was the sweetest little soul, and as long as I continued her physio she was able to sit and stand on her own but could still not walk more than a few steps before falling...
