    My favourite mix - can you confirm?

    I’ve noticed they have the green shine on their feathers the same as the australorp at the back of the first photo? Do copper Marans get the same thing? :) Cheers

    My favourite mix - can you confirm?

    Hi all! So I’ve got 7 healthy pulleys (all 6 months old) but two of them are the most inquisitive, affectionate and interesting chickens I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately the local farmer I bought them for had no idea what they were. From what I can tell they are Silkie x Australorp. I also...

    I do have coconut oil. I’ve never done anything like this before so do you have a “recipe” for chicken dog bite alixar potion haha. Not sure of quantities of the honey vs tumeric vs coconut oil.

    12 Week old Chicken "attacked" by kelpie! Recovery tips / help appreciated!

    Alright she’s had a bit more water now. I cleaned her back with some salt water and put a bit more betadine on her back and wounds. Unfortunately my medicine cabinet is limited at that. I have read that I can put tumeric powder on her wounds and this will really help as an antibiotic and...
