    ISO Frizzled Fleur or Mille Fleur - North Texas

    I purchased a frizzled fleur and a mille fleur d'uccle 12 years ago from a farm in North Texas. The mille fleur is still alive, and I'd love to give her a friend. For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the farm or individual. If you have any, please contact me!

    FREE Frizzle Fleur hen - Dallas Texas

    Yes, she is still available! She was hatched August 2012. We brought her to live with us November 2012. She is a bantam frizzle fleur which is a cross between a frizzled Cochin and a Mille fleur d'uccle. She is not frizzled, but her mom was so she has the genes for frizzling. Let me know if...

    FREE Frizzle Fleur hen - Dallas Texas

    We got two silkie bantam chicks to add to our flock of three. We added them to the run, but kept them separated via a fence. While supervised, we would let them out to mingle with the bigger girls when they got bigger. Our older silkie bantam and mille fleur bantam hens tolerated the them but...

    FREE Frizzle Fleur hen - Dallas Texas

    I have a two year old Frizzled Fleur bantam hen (not frizzled, but mom was) that needs rehoming. She is currently second in the pecking order after our silkie bantam. She has increasingly become more aggressive to our other hens in our backyard flock (5 bantams total). When our silkie becomes...

    Egg colors can change?

    Here's a pic: The one on the left is the last egg she laid from the last batch, about 2 weeks ago. The one on the right is the one I collected yesterday.

    Question about letting my broody Silkie hatch some fertile eggs

    Thanks for the advice! She's a bantam, so I'm thinking 7 might be too many eggs for her to cover? Also, she's at the top of the pecking order for my flock, and there are only 3 hens total; the other two think the she is their mother! So, I'm thinking they will be ok with her nesting in the...

    Question about letting my broody Silkie hatch some fertile eggs

    I have a 7 1/2 month old Silkie that gets very broody. I collect the egg she lays every day. However, I'm considering obtaining some fertile eggs to let her hatch on her own. Is that wise? Will she stop laying her own eggs? If she continues to lay, do I just collect the infertile eggs and...

    Egg colors can change?

    Hi -- I have one Silkie that is about 7 1/2 months old, along with two pullets - a frizzle fleur about 4 1/2 months old and a mille fleur about 4 months old. The silkie started laying middle of January, pretty consistently: one egg a day. She took a break a few weeks ago and, I'm presuming...

    Chicken equivalent of the Cat Tree?

    I'm wanting to design something similar to a cat tee or condo for my chickens to put in their run. I have three bantams chickens in the city, so they are always in their run or coop. I'm wanting something that will help to keep them entertained and also satisfy their desire to get just a little...

    Mixing bantams with regular sized pullets/hens?

    I have a bantam silkie (17 weeks old and all alone after her two brothers got a new home!) and was curious if there would be problems adding a full-sized pullet or two to my flock. Thanks!

    Bantam rooster needs a good home - Dallas Texas!

    17 weeks old; Ameraucana or Easter Egger?; very sweet but a bit shy. No crowing yet. I live in Dallas Texas. I would prefer someone nearby but my ultimate goal is for him to have a good home.

    Please help me guess what gender this is

    Oh my goodness. I bought 3 baby chicks back in July, the guy said he was pretty sure all three were girls, and so far 2 have been boys! I just found a new home for the other cockerel on Saturday. This one is very sweet, but I live within the city and unfortunately cannot keep him! I'd be...

    Please help me guess what gender this is

    17 week old bantam. Not sure of breed. No crowing or anything, but she looks doubtful. Thanks!

    Boy or girl?

    Thanks for all the replies! I guess Fairy will have to become Franklin. She (he) is super cute and super smart. I hope to find him a good home. Thanks again!
