    polish/silkie cross

    A year ago we got some hatching eggs that were supposed to be silkies and polish from a local person. I don't think she kept them very well separated because they mostly look like silkie/polish crosses. The funny thing is that out of the subsequent three generations, the boys are the only ones...

    advice for baby's hurt leg, please!

    Just an update. We had to put our baby turkey down a couple of weeks ago. It was walking around fine but when we moved it to a bigger pen, it started limping again and finally stopped walking altogether. I think it was that his leg couldn't support his increased weight as he grew.

    advice for baby's hurt leg, please!

    Thanks, I posted my girl's picture in the ID forum and everyone said she looked like an Americana. Only she doesn't lay colored eggs! Just a light beige. She is super soft and sweet as well.

    mystery grayish hen

    Thanks everyone. Sounds like she's just another mutt, or an easter egger who doesn't lay colored eggs.

    mystery grayish hen

    Thanks everyone. No she doesn't lay colored eggs. They are very pale beige. I wish she did though. All my eggs run the spectrum of brown to white.

    mystery grayish hen

    Last spring I bought some hatching eggs off craigslist- supposedly they would be silkies, polish, and laced wyandottes. Well, out of all the ones that hatched, they were polish and polish/silkie crosses. I have two mysteries however. One turned out to be a large buff colored hen, very similar...

    Ended Official BYC Caption Contest Photo Submission Thread #2

    I wish I was a better photographer so that you could see more clearly that my silkie hen is sitting on a dozen turkey eggs with my turkey who had her wing wrapped over her.

    equipment for small scale processing

    I bet if you are helping her with processing her birds along with your own, it's not an imposition. It's so much faster and easier with a couple of hands rather than just yourself. As for equipment, our county rents out the complete set of featherman processing equipment for $20 a day. I...

    Frindizzle's Funniest Fowl Picture! - Closed (For Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Turkeys, Quail, Parrots, a

    Ha, that's so true that they are too curious. I have a couple of day old turkey chick pictures where they are just staring me down. They are so cute, cuter than my chickens I think.

    advice for baby's hurt leg, please!

    I don't have any ideas how to help your tom but I had a random question- what kind of chicken is your gray striped chicken standing next to him? We have a chicken that looks like that that we hatched from a batch of eggs we bought from someone that were supposed to be silkies, polish, and RIRs...

    Free wine fridge for DIY incubator project, Tacoma, WA area

    I posted this in the classifieds but am not hearing from anyone so I hope it's alright to post here. I didn't even realize there was a classifieds part of BYC until I went looking on where to post this. It'll be gone in a second if I post on Craigslist but I wanted to see if anyone on BYC in...

    How much should I clean my "sticky" chick?

    He's fluffing up nicely except for the top of his head and along the spine. I was wondering, do his legs look a little wide set to anyone else? I'm wondering if he has a slight case of spraddle leg? Or maybe he just needs to get a little stronger on his legs. Isn't he cute? He's got one foot...

    Does my hen have worms?

    Oh and if it isn't worms, another idea is a yeast infection. That something I just learned about. They can get them if the feed is wet or moldy or too many treats. What is her poop like?
