    Ended Contest #3 Cutest Baby Fowl - 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    CHICK PILE THERAPY I was still recovering from major surgery when my cockatoo wanted to incubate another chicken egg, so I had to get 4 more friends for the one she hatched. XOXO

    How do you say "d Uccle"?

    The breed is from Belgium, so there looks to be both a Dutch pronunciation & a French, as both language are spoke there officially. Go to this site, and scroll down, and you can hear both the French and Dutch pronunciations. http://www.pronouncekiwi.com/D%27Uccle So since both are official...

    Comprehensive list of poisonous plants and trees

    Oh, no! I'm a renter, and there are Virginia Creeper vines growing around most of the perimeter of my back yard where the chickens free range! They've been eating the berries, but are showing no signs of illness. What should I do? I'd hate to keep them penned all day! Ultimately, I'd move and...

    Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

    WOW! Watson is GORGEOUS! I'm loving the partridge now- so are the roosters darker like Watson and the pullets lighter, or is it possible to get a hen that's the same colors as Watson?

    Chicken Breed Focus - Wyandotte

    Talise, my blue laced gold Wyandotte, is the second one down from the top. The place I got her from sold her to me as a blue laced red, but on another forum, I was told she was a blue laced gold. Can anyone confirm? It's so disappointing buying one thing when you expect another, but she's got...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Wyandotte

    The feed store sole me this chick as a blue laced red, but someone on a FB color and genetics forum said she was a blue laced gold. Her name is Talise. I have more pics of her as an older chick, but for some reason, I can't upload them. .

    Chicken Breed Focus - Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    Which color variation is the very first rooster pic in this post? Is it gold laced or buff? This breed is refreshingly fascinating, and I'm hoing to add one to my flock maybe next year.

    ??? Pre-made Coops and space requirement inconsistency

    Thanks, everybody, for your responses. CTKen, the 8 bantams are 9 weeks old. Of the standards, there are 3 adult hens who are a couple/few years old and a 6-month old rooster. Also there are 5 standard chicks in the brooder box of differing breeds) 2 of the adult hens pick on the single one...

    ??? Pre-made Coops and space requirement inconsistency

    My ultimate wish would be to design & build my own coop(s). Meantime, I procured a coupld of dog houses to modify. As Murphy & his law would have it, freak accidents and incidents have conspired to zap me of the necessary time & energy to complete the projects in time for my chickens to get into...

    mites, mites, mites

    Where do you get the ivermectin, and in what form? I have given birds shots before, so that's no problem. I do have a horse-sized tube of ivermectin that I diluted for my cats when there was a demodectic mange breakout from an incoming cat (despite him being in quarantine). Can I use this tube...

    broken feathers, mites *if you are experiencing this, PLEASE READ*

    Will this lime sulfur stuff by Revival Animal Health kill red spider mites? They are on me and in my room- just because I snuggled a new chicken. I've dusted him with DE only to learn that it's better as a preventative. This rooster who has them looks like he molted recently and is still...
