    Possible egg oddity

    I think it was the little silkie but not sure. Haven't seen one since although somebody had a big expulsion of wormy poo. I may need to worm the recent new girls from another flock.

    My rooster is eye pinning when i say his name

    That is so true, and this rooster I have is quite nice. No lap sitting or anything like that but he runs to me when I go out. I quite like him and I hven't liked a rooster in a while

    Possible egg oddity

    Just looked up lash egg and it isn't like that at all. I think it may belong to one of the bantams, a silkie, as that is where she sits in roost most times. thanks for your info.

    Our newest adventure, EMU's!

    Love that you have more than one great bird! What an awesome farm habitat you must have and yes, I also got an emu after wishing and not prepped. Esmerelda is quite docile and 4 or so yrs old, she is called tame but can do a crazy emu in a Heart beat. They aren’t domesticated at all really, just...

    New to Emus!!! Can they protect chickens against predators?

    The previous keeper of Esmerelda said that she killed a raccoon, the commonest predator here in the panhandle. Esmeralda is docile, and easily managed. She is also a descendant of velociraptors, as you can tell by the toes. Being very aware is a good thing and I agree about children. They don’t...

    Although I said like i find it very sad everytime a bird dies, especially the preventable ones. They are family members. I know you know this but people outside of my very small circle don't understand this. I love my birds. And the ducks, who can be a bit harder to cuddle or love.
