    Silkie Sex?

    I'm not getting my hopes up, I'm assuming he's a boy because of those wattles! I don't have a preference, just curious although it would've been nice for him to earn his stay with some eggs :)

    Silkie Sex?

    This is my first Silkie ever, didn't get my hopes up in it being a female so it's name is Sullivan! Super gentle and sweet, often falls asleep in my arms and enjoys my company! From a straight run bin of "bantams" at TSC, although it's much larger than my other bantams. I've read a lot about...

    Chicken wing- deformity?

    My Silver Duckwing bantam has always had this little piece sticking out of it's wing. It was purchased with many others all different ages from TSC roughly 6 weeks ago, so I'd age it at about 6-7 weeks. It never seems distressed, in pain, and can "fly" just fine. I thought it would molt out, but...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Hello all! I'm located in a small town outside of Lancaster, and I need some help! I have cockerels that I need processed but have had no luck getting in contact with someone who will do this for me. I've heard people tell me that many Amish people in the Bremen area do this, but I'm not sure...

    Pros and cons of unsexed chicks?

    I think it depends on what your intentions with your chickens- I ordered an assortment of straight run chicks from Murray McMurray. Out of 22 chicks, I ended up with 6 pullets, but this didn't upset me considering we planned on processing the cockerels. It was definitely the cheaper route, but I...

    TLC for these sweeties!

    Thank you! They may be a little spoiled but they deserve it, they are so great! I thought chickens were my favorite birds :oops: but it's hard not to love turkeys, there's so much personality packed into these guys!

    TLC for these sweeties!

    Here's their progress so far! In a week they've started roosting, free-ranging in the evening, and taking treats from us when we sit in the yard and watch them. They look much cleaner despite the poor condition of their feathers! They've been great so far, hoping for continued progress :)

    Light Brahma Thread (Pictures, Discuss, etc.)

    He is under a year, we took in him and 9 laying pullets from a less-than-ideal situation but they're all doing great and he is right at home here! It takes them around two years to reach full size, and he is almost up to my knees already! Thinking he'll be a big boy, but that's fine with me as...

    Light Brahma Thread (Pictures, Discuss, etc.)

    Just got my first pair of brahmas on Monday, albeit they are already grown but I am absolutely obsessed with my roo Captain Blackbeard :) He instantly took to my flock and is such a great protector, but so friendly and docile with my children and I. And he's gorgeous! And very photogenic :p

    What is this pretty girl?!

    Thank you for the visual! All of my EE's have definite muffs and beards, she just my first that does not! I'm excited about her nonetheless :)

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Hey all! Very happy first-time turkey owner here. Last week we rescued Bob (our Lavender Jake) and Babygirl (our Royal Palm hen) and despite the quick relocation, they are so loving and trusting! To my knowledge, Bob previously had a broken wing that has fully healed and doesn't seem to have any...
