So I have some stunning roosters. My chicks were supposed to be sexed, but unfortunately many were wrong and I am not able to keep them all, not enough hens. Up for grabs are 4 Rhode Island reds, 1 splash silkie, 1 speckled sussex, 1 buff Cochin, possibly 1 easter egger and 1 welsummer (haven't...

Figures, this one was also sent as a freebie lol

Thanks! Also, any idea on this buff Cochin? Did I mention we have pox? :( :( :(

I got sent four RIR (I think) for free with an order from a hatchery. Just because of that, I was immediately assuming they are all boys. Three definitely are but one of them is throwing me off. It has a green curvy tail like I'd expect with a roo (I thought girl RIR were all red and only boys...

I'm sure this has been asked so many times, but please help me sex my silkies! I have four, only two are bearded. 19 weeks old. Sorry if the picture quality is bad. They always look fine until I post them here lol. Silkie #1 Silkie #2 Silkie #3 Silkie #4

I'm too much of a wimp lol. Although I suppose raising them and killing them myself is probably better than trying to give them away where I live. I live close to a city that is not the nicest of cities and I know there are a lot of reports of dog fighting. So I'm sure there is cock fighting as...

That's what I was afraid of!!! What am I supposed to do with FOUR roosters :'(

Hey! So I had an order of 9 chicks from Ideal Poultry. They had a really rough and crazy journey thanks to USPS error and none of them survived. Ideal sent me new chicks and added in 4 extras. I knew they occasionally throw in extra cockerels for added heat if necessary but that seems kinda...

I love my buffs! I have two in my flock and they are so gentle. I noticed one of mine has some darker spots in her tail feathers, is this normal? Pictures are just because :) Two on the far left

I'm OBSESSED with this beautiful spotted egg I got from my Wellie the other day! Prettiest one yet!

Just got two faverolles in the mail today along with some silkies and GLW! I am so excited about these beauties!

Just got two of these beauties today in the mail along with some silkies and salmon faverolles. I'm sooo excited!!! I think this breed is BEAUTIFUL!

My silkies have arrived!!! I'm sooo excited! I ordered 5 blue and I believe I got 2 blue, 2 black and one splash. Although there might be 4 blue, they look very similar but two of the blue seem to be just a bit darker than the other 2. So how in the world do you sex silkies? In the first...

Hello, I am getting some new chicks mailed to me in two days! Last time I raised chicks it was cold and we always had a heat lamp on them. Now though, it's crazy hot and I had planned to brood the chicks outside in the coop. They would be stuck in a brooder unable to go outside because I don't...

Hello all! Can anyone tell me some fun things about silkies or why you love them. I'm trying out some new breeds and ordered 5 blue silkies along with several other breeds. They may be blue, splash, black or I think even white. I'm secretly hoping for splash! Anyways, they should be here soon...
