    No feathered feet...but a Silkie mix?!

    My mind is boggled. Rooster is a black Silkie, Hen is Cochin... off-spring does NOT have feathered feet. Here is the dynamic of my second coop: 1 Roo - Black Silkie 1 Black Silkie Hen 1 Tan, White, Brown & Black Cochin 3 California White Chick hatched this morning, cute as a button, like...

    NAME MY FLOCK!

    1 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 3 We just rescued over 20, however the others didn’t stump me on what they are. However, these girls and Roo have me scratching my head at the multiple possibilities. I gave them numbers so some photos are the same hen, just a different view.

    Easter Eggers--quick help!

    Hi all! I know they're more difficult to sex (to my understanding) but I did see a thread on here about their feather coloring and placement. I am visiting a friend and would like assistance on what ones you think are pullets. I know it is not 100% but it's worth a chance from my backyard experts ;)

    2-week old lathargic Silkie with no appetite

    She was unfortunately one of my sweet girls with the bad pasty butt. Do you believe a possibility could be that she had it for a long period of time before arriving to me that the damage had already been done by that point? I mean, I was not home for 10 mins before cleaning their cute butts...

    2-week old lathargic Silkie with no appetite

    Well, an update is that my very sweet girl passed away early this morning. Frustrated because I have no clue what the possible reason is. Very upset as well. But she had many, many cuddles and love in her short sweet life

    Quick! Dead or alive to pull from incubator!

    As hard as it will be, I will do that. I plan on continuing to incubate and it is the only way I'll learn, even if it hurts like hell. I was actually proud of myself because I did that with eggs that didn't make it past the 7 day mark, but they were of course, no where the same sight as this...

    Quick! Dead or alive to pull from incubator!

    June 20th Hi all, first time incubating and understand the importance of not keeping a dead embryo in the incubator due to exploding and spreading bacteria. I have 5 eggs, moving and doing very well. I am receiving conflicting information and don't want to pull the egg if it is indeed...

    2-week old lathargic Silkie with no appetite

    Fantastic information and thank you for the welcome! Coming here has been the best source of information. I must say, I was pretty taken back when 1) they were in the back of a car, not everyone is me, but I would have had them up front with me. 2) how many had pasty butt and how bad it was...
