Thank you so much for your reply!!
I don't think this baby is frizzled - they don't offer the self blue Cochins in frizzled varieties, and I haven't personally noticed any feather curling. She grew out feathers for maybe the first 2 weeks of her life, and they seemed straight and healthy, and...
Hello everyone!
I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry. Unfortunately, this year was not a great year considering their genetics, as in the same batch I had a chick with pus coming from its eyes. Even with assisted feeding...
My final entries!! The legbar on this is the same one from before - talk about a glow up! These pictures also include "Muffin", a Mille fleur pullet, and two other pullets (Giuseppe -Easter egger, and Peach -golden neck d'uucle!)
Edit: Whoops! Posting mistakes!
Hey there!
One again back from a break to ask if this silkie rooster looks even a little bit close to Lemon Blue? I'm thinking about crossing Lemon Blue cochins with him to possibly make a Lemon Blue silkie. His mom was a buff, while his father was a black crossed blue(?).
He hatched out...
Thank you for responding with so much detail!
I bathed her last night in warm water and Epsom salt - she did get more lively and more energetic after that. She also began to eat a little bit more.
Some information I forgot to mention is that shes been pooping noticeably less, so that's why I'm...
Hello there!
I have this small Indian runner duck, who we call Mama duck, who is the survivor of a predator attack that took her leg. We've been helping her since she's lost her leg, and she does a pretty dang good job at getting around. Recently, however, she has seem less interested in food...
Hello people of New Mexico!
I'm looking to trade/sell 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens. 3 ISA's/red sexlinks and 1 white leghorn. Their all laying, and lay a lovely 4 eggs a day. If selling, I'll be selling them for 10 dollars a hen, which is 40 dollars for the 4.
I am not willing to go down...
Thank you for the wishes!
Super sad to hear you're so far away - but thank you for reaching out and responding! I've never had chickens live to 11 years; but I'm hoping since this is only my second time having them that I can help them reach that age. Sounds like yours had a good life and...
Hello there all!
I have 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens which I got from TSC on April 5th this year. I'm looking to possibly trade these 4 for more oriental breeds like Polish/cochins/Ayam cemanis/Phoenix and more. Only breeds I'm unwilling to accept are Silkies.
I originally got them for...
Back again to add another little update to this young girl!
The same information as provided on the post about her a bit ago-
She was bought from TSC
She was from a mixed bin with wyandottes
There were bantams and other breeds available that day
I'm pretty sure my TSC supplies from either...
Hello there once again! I dont know when (I think about 2 weeks ago) I asked what this chick might be! Well, she's now bigger and mostly fully feathered. Starting to question if she is a he due to her slow feathering - she's got gorgeous blue/gray feathers!
(Sorry for picture quality)...
I have a broody hen hatching out 8 silkie eggs, they will be buff and self blue/black, their hatching dates will vary from a week and a half to 2 weeks/possibly sooner.
Was seeing if anyone would be potentially interested in the eggs if they do hatch out, please note that there's atleast 8, no...
Here's a better view of her comb!
It would be a really fun surprise if she is a D'anver! Saw some photos of them and definitely agree she looks like one!
Hello there all once more!
I was actually confident with this one when I got her, as she had the pea comb, slate legs and appearance of a sebright when she was littler.
Is she just a hatchery quality not as vibrant sebright/will she get brighter or darker when older, or is she just a different...
