    ~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

    So I wasn't going to mention his name since I did not know proper protocal, but yes, it's Grady. What a lovely man. I have enjoyed every minute of speaking with him and can not wait to have my DH have the priviledge. Can't wait for my birdies either!!! I still think I'm a bit nuts to take on...

    ~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

    Just as soon as I get my birds I will figure out how to post pictures. Right at the moment I have a 6 week old (pet quality) serma named Beatrice playing on the back of my neck with my hair! We've only had her for a week and she's the reason we decided to take the plunge. If even some of them...

    My claim to fame is Olalla. Yes, there really is a place called Olalla. I think we are it tho. There is a post office and not much else. I have 25 birds, 4 RIR, 2 silkies, 19 other breeds. They are about 9 months old and laying like crazy!! I'm new to all this stuff but learning fast and finally...

    Got illegal chickens?

    They are right, silkies don't look much like chickens and the one I have that everyone thinks is some kind of exotic bird is my polish hen Queen O'decoup. She is my tamest and loves to be held and cuddled. I should take her to a pet store some tie. What a hoot that would be!

    Chicken needs a bath!!! Help!!

    My 8 month old silkie is filthy!! She's so muddy and it's dried on her! How does one clean a chicken? Yes this is no joke. I really want to know. She has got to be uncomforable with all that dried mud. How do they clean a chicken for show?

    Big question, why did all of you new chicken owners get chickens?

    It was hubby's idea, I fought it but finally gave in. I warned him I'd make pets of them and not to even consider eating them. I also said he'd be buying 25 little wheel chairs when they reached their senior years. But he said go ahead. Now we both find huggin on them enjoyable and relaxing. Yes...

    My girls just started laying around Christmas. There are 18 breeds in my flock of 25. Queen is the only Polish and everyone picked her head dress out so we moved her to the new condo build for her right next to but secure from the others. Since she has had so much trouble she has had alot of...

    Odd Poop...yes I'm serious.

    Thanks for the positive and reassuring responses. Hers are just different than any one elses so I thought there might be something wrong as a newbie. No I don't have alot of spare time but I do care about the welfare of my charges.

    Odd Poop...yes I'm serious.

    My polish crested hen, about 13 weeks has started pooping formed poops more like chihuahua poop size, but soft and I'd have to say maybe marshmallowy soft. Is that normal? She just was traumatized and her crest ripped out by some other chicken yesterday and today I notice these weird poopies...

    Polish Crested de-crested AGAIN!!!What do I do?

    My 13 week old(they all are 13 weeks)Polish crested hen has always been the bottom of the pecking order but I thought it was getting better but they, or maybe just one rooster ripped about half her top crest out again. I am wondering if it was an attempt at mating my an inexperienced EE Rooster...
