When I was leaving to go out of town last Thursday I went to go say goodbye to my gander, Goose, who is 4 years old and he was squeaking.
He's gradually lost his voice a bit and not honking well. He's eating. There's no discharge from his nose.
It's been pretty hot here and he and his sister...
You might actually have some infected and/or ingrown feathers. If you aint squeemish about blood I could tell you how to treat. First I just would wrap her up in a towel with her feet out. Numb the spot with ice and with a pin or needle make a tiny slit over any part that looks yellowish. This...
Ugh every silkie breeder I have spoken to has NEVER had this issue. Little poppycock started getting ingrown feathers when they started developing so I would have to sit down and use a pin and sometimes tweezers to get them out. He always seemed so refreshed when I got them to come out. Well a...
I am so glad you found your girls! I personally lost my head roo before new years and am hoping to hatch his last babies from miss Molotov Cocktease. They are on day 14 and 15 so I hope they are ok. They haven't moved in a couple days and I hope they aren't dead or got hurt in my panic.
They still haven't moved. No change in them at all when I candle them. Even tapping them nothing. I think I may have messed up somewhere. I'm so sorry Dean! I really wanted to hatch your babies for you!.
sadly I am keeping him as my head roo just died. BUT my cousin is looking to rehome her retired old roo that isn't producing anymore but still a good ol roo. She is located in colorado
Oh thank you. Thank you. They are on day 14 and 15. I even braved this winter storm to run to my friend's house to get her humidity and thermometer gauge. They haven't moved for quite a while and I hope I haven't damaged them in my panic!
So I got two eggs nearing lock down. I am using a homemade bator and the humidity is pretty good and heat is good. But his morning my alarm didn't go off to turn them and they are not moving.
They are eggs from my EE and fathered by my silkie roo or one of my Serama roo's. I am thinking they...
Raised from spring this year. Cute little guy. People friendly, just challenging my little serama roo's and I can't have that as my Serama's are my good roo's. He has been having ingrown feather problems on his feet but other than that he is great.
Free to good home. WILL NOT SHIP (sorry)...
