nope @Leah567 the partridge silkie is a cockerel :)

welp, my fiancé and I are taking the leap from just chickens, guinea hens, turkey, and ducks to getting 2 oberhasli goats 1 doeling 1 wether. going to go pick them out today and will be ready mid june... just wanted to share our excitement

awesome I agree with granny, just let them do their thing. Are all the eggs duck eggs? Some look much larger than others... maybe some are call duck eggs?

ugh I have cochins and some silkies so you know what that means... yep broodiness everywhere... My white silkie hatched out 5 cochin chicks 3 weeks ago so I just put her in the chicken run yesterday... they are fine and will be selling most of the chicks from that hatch... my black cochin just...

yeah I looked at the group pic quick the white ones I thought were porcelains but they don't have the feathered feet. Noticed it just now when I actually clicked on the picture lol... they could be some sort of oegb though

the white ones look like porcelain d'uccles

ugh... all I can think about is the smell of broody poops... and in the house no less.... yuck lol

maybe oyster shells? You let your chicken lay eggs on your bed??? :rolleyes::lau

she is weaning them, leave them alone they will be fine.

yes but if I took the time to rehab every floggy rooster nothing would ever get done lol

eggs can vary in shades my cochins will lay almost white eggs one day and the next brown to light brown...

the are cute little frizzle cochins..

any flogging roo I've ever had has gone into the freezer... very difficult to break and honestly I don't want that temperament passed on to future generations

lol no I didn't put a chick in with them which I could have at the time. Lesson learned I guess

lol thank you for that. Yes, they certainly like to kill themselves quickly... started with 10 down to 7 as they kept flipping on their backs... I have them in a 6 foot long 5 foot wide 4 foot tall brooder so it should last them a bit... we've been getting lots of rain and cold days here in ny...
