How do I upload a picture to your facebook page? We took pictures today at our feed store but I can't figure out how to upload a picture to someone else's fb page. help! LOL

Oh thank you for your replies. I can see why they become addictive to most folks that have them on here. I've looked at pictures of silkies when they mature and they look so cute. We are of course hoping it's a girl because we live in the city. Anybody have a rooster? Is their crow just as loud...

We got a silkie bantam chick at the feed store (also 2 california whites and 3 lovely little Khaki Campbell ducklings) never had a silkie before, the coloring is light yellow but feathers coming in on wings and legs are gray and black...sort of speckled. I don't know how to post pictures, trying...

We purchased our cockatiel Charlie 23 years ago. At the time we got 3 cockatiels, a male that I fell in love with and Charlie and a female who quickly became a bonded pair for my Mother. Mom wanted Charlie because she felt sorry for him, he had been injured in transport from a hatchery in FL. to...

dfinitely shop around. we pay $5 at shoppers supply for a huge square bundle of wood shavings. If I had a hampster I would still purchase this size as the smaller cube in the pet section at the same store with the same material costs more...funny huh? Shop around, it pays off.

How exciting! You'll have to post some pictures. Are these your first chicks? We got our 4 Araucannas 3 years ago this June and they have been a joy. We get huge blue, green and pink eggs. They are adorable when they are babies. Ours looked like little chipmunks in their coloring, several...

...and to think, my chicken taught me that. Thanks for posting! It is amazing what raising chickens for the last three years has taught us not only about chickens but about ourselves. I read everything I could find on chickens before we got them and I worried too, but I have never ever regreted...

I got a chicken from a friend, she's a crested polish and she has spurs. I haven't done them yet but my friend showed me that she takes pliers gently and rocks them back and forth slightly, no twisting to remove the entire spur...and a layer at a time comes off. If you have cats you know you...

I have not let my chickens free range yet. They are in a fenced area (top covered too) Although I have a six foot privacy fence I was afraid one would get spooked and fly up and over the fence into a neighbors yard and be lost. How would I avoid this? How do you get them to come in at night...

Quote: My four Americanuas are quiet too and so I didn't think anything of adding two more chickens...little did I know some hens get quite loud. My Buff orpington and her friend who were raised together and came to us together pace and squack for each other when the other is laying an egg...

Our chickens are part of our family...same as the dogs, cats and cockatiel. Won't be eating any of our pets. We enjoy the gifts they offer daily and watching and spending time with them and they will be allowed to live their lives out even when they no longer lay eggs for us. We love them and...

I have a question on this topic. I have a polish with very long spurs. The woman I got it from said she clipped them but when she gave her to me she had just clipped them and one was bleeding a lot. I got it stopped when I got her home with stiptic powder (spelling) but they are getting long...
