    Denegard???

    Hey y’all, I have 6 beautiful ladies that all seem to be sneezing. Not a lot, but enough that I noticed it. They all seem alert and fine… should I treat with denegard in case? I don’t want to make them sick if they don’t need the meds, but I don’t want them to suddenly get worse either. Help?

    Is this a Betty or a Bert?

    Will their wattles be larger if they’re not pure silkie though? I think that’s what’s making me question everything lol I know they’re not pure, so it’s hard to go based off what google tells me about silkies. TBH I wouldn’t have chosen them (I dislike feathered feet here in the wet south) but...

    Is this a Betty or a Bert?

    So this “gal” hatched in mid July sometime. Her mama was eaten and only had one “sibling” left so I took both babies home as week or two old chicks. I got them from a local farm I work at. Anyway, they look different but have similarities. Mr. Norris is clearly a boy, crowing, feathers, etc. But...
