    Feeding Grower to Chicks?

    My Strange Hen That Is Not Laying Any Eggs...

    Three weeks ago I bought a hen, the owner said she was two years old and that she was staying on the roost all day and only coming down at night. I assumed she was just afraid of some other birds in the flock. Well, I have had the hen three weeks and she has been doing the same kind of...

    Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

    The black in the tails is something that has to be selectively bred out. From what I have read, black in the wings is very bad but black in the tail is "normal" but of course you want them to be ALL buff. I'm thinking I will stick with the second rooster because type is harder to breed...

    Buffs hatched out a partridge?

    My neighbour has a pen of buff birds and only owns that colour. She just had a hen hatch out some chicks and not all the chicks look buff. One looks partridge and a few are yellow coloured but also dark in spots. What could be going on?? Can you get different colours from breeding buffs together??
