Hi there the little pekin cockeral I got a few weeks back is extremely underweight (very prominent keel bone), has a pale face and has runny stool (I think - dirty vent feathers). He's very active, eats a lot and drinks just fine and seems healthy in every other way. He doesn't sit hunched up or...

Hi thecrumbler, I have a facebook page you're welcome to visit :) https://www.facebook.com/CarolinaLangDigitalArts Here is the latest of my works as a teaser:

Haha I don't know! If I can keep him this will be my first venture into breeding chooks for colour. Maybe I'll get a lav hen to put with him? Though I'm already quite stocked up on chooks as it is haha. He's such a cutie though, very friendly. He is very scruffy at the moment though. I can't...

I have (so far): 1 x smooth feathered pekin rooster (may have to go if he's super noisy) 1 x smooth-feathered pekin hen 1 x light-sussex bantam hen (so cute!) 1 x pure pekin frizzle hen 2 x pekin x belgian d'uccle frizzle hens - sisters 2 x ISA brown layers. I have the ISA's as egg...

I recently got a very young, friendly pekin cockeral - not sure if I can keep him yet as I'm not allowed roosters in the suburbs - but he's still quite young, not crowing and is already no-crow collared, so we'll see how he goes. He was set to be skinned / binned if I didn't pick him up as we...

My concern with poison isn't my animals getting into it - it's the risk of my animals eating a poisoned rat. Plus I don't want them dying in the walls on their way out to find water.

I have outside budgies and chooks - the chickens' feed is only outside during the day (in the open) and at night is shut up in their rat/mouse proof coop with them - it used to be out all the time as I didn't HAVE a coop (bad me, I know). So it's no longer the chickens that are the problem -...

Oh good! Glad to know it's not something to worry about. The frizzle sisters do a snakey movement with their head, quite weird lol. Dance for your scratch,ladies!

Thanks guys! @Hylian yes I do take commissions - if you're interested drop me a PM and I can explain it further

I didn't get much info out of google other than 'headless chickens running around...with wings flapping'. Mine still have heads! Basically what they're doing is one of them (usually the blue) will put her head down slowly, and start running to the other end of the run (slowly at first) with...

Oh hey yeah Vorwerks might be cool :) I love their colours! Thanks so much for the kind words!

Hi guys, I like to do this on every forum I'm a member of because each one gives me tons of great ideas. I'm building up to a career in digital art, so this is my current (and most recent) portfolio of things - I plan to add each of my newest paintings as I do them. I like to focus on creatures...

I think the risk v. reward is worth it (for me personally) as I only have a very small flock, and I don't breed ' for show ' - so it wouldn't be affecting my future in the hobby (so to speak?). I still love my bantams and I don't want to lose it, but I also don't want to lose an eye to a mean...

Hey thanks so much for the quick reply! Yeah I think I will try a shelter, though I'm not sure if there ARE any chicken rescues around (I don't think the normal rescues take roosters). I would prefer a mature one so I know what I'm getting into and I'd like to bypass the hormonal teenage phase, lol.

Hi everyone I am looking at getting my first rooster to go with my two current banties, a sussex and a pekin. So far I am super keen for pekins (definitely will be getting some more hens to go with my current ones), but since I live in the suburbs and my brother may have to care for them if I'm...
