    HELP! Silkie - bloody mucus (chunklike) in feces, strange smell

    I'm not exactly sure how to tell if she's eggbound... She was broody for over a week, and then finally snapped out of it and laid 2 eggs over the course of 3 days or so, then started the bloody poop thing. I've given her warm baths in case it would help if it were eggbound. This is the 3rd day...

    HELP! Silkie - bloody mucus (chunklike) in feces, strange smell

    Seems to be the poop I think, I smelled her breath/nares and no small there... She is a bit sneezy tho? If I order the corid online do i need the solution or powder?

    HELP! Silkie - bloody mucus (chunklike) in feces, strange smell

    OK, I have 2 house chickens - a little mutt bantam roo (5 years) & a silkie hen (turned 1 year in July), & they are my babies so I really need help! The girl started having lots of loose poop the day before yesterday with clumps of what looks like bloody mucus in it. She's usually a hearty...

    How many birds for a project?

    I know maybe i'm in the minority cos my only chicken is a house pet LOL. I wish ppl understood how affectionate and what wonderful little pets they can be if handled from a young age. People look at me like i'm crazy when i try to explain, but when they see how he loves to be snuggled and see...

    Mixing and Matching Traits...Would this even be possible???

    I found some breeder listings and one said they had long tail sultans and frizzle sultans. So far I've been unable to contact them : ( Would it be possible to breed 2 of these in order to get a long-tailed frizzled sultan at any point??? (and does anyone know any breeders who have these as I...

    Mixing and Matching Traits...Would this even be possible???

    i read somewhere about long-tailed sultans, that would give you a bit of a head start right? Anyone know where you could get one of those???? Thanks! (also, by adding silkies to the mix would you get their type of feathering??? or more general fluff? lol interesting thoughts)

    Mixing and Matching Traits...Would this even be possible???

    Ok so I"m straining my feeble mind back to hs biology class rofl. How do you tell which traits are dominant and recessive? Is there a good, easy to understand guide somewhere I can look at that may help me understand how poultry genetics work a little more? Thanks! : )

    Mixing and Matching Traits...Would this even be possible???

    Ok, I'm totally new to the idea of breeding for certain traits. I"m so curious tho, if it would be possible to first introduce a long fancy tail (like a phoenix's) to a sultan and then somehow (later down the lineage i'm assuming) throw in some frizzle feathers? LOL It would be the ultimate...

    What kind of Frizzles are we????

    O M G!!! just checked out the sizzles...that is the cutest thing EVER. I'm so stupid with genetics *sigh* but I"m so happy to see ppl are doing designer breeds of chickens : ) I'm curious, would it ever be possible to make something similar that's a frizzled sultan with a long pheonix-like...

    New to the coop ; )

    Hi, I'm new to the forums and just wanted a place to discuss different breeds and things. I live in north GA and own one bantam silver duckwing who is probably an old english/dutch mix. He's a house rooster, lol, and wears the chicken diapers. He's my baby, and that's even what i call him --...
