    possible friend for disabled hen

    Thank you - yes she is a fighter. I know it is not a reasonable choice for some to make but I happen to have a very small flock now and she is no problem. I am looking for a few silkie hens to try out - I will let everyone know how that works out.

    possible friend for disabled hen

    Thank you - she's actually doing great - she fell over a lot more when she was in a small pen - now that she has room - she does quite well and is a very happy girl. I just would like her to have company as I think that is a more natural state. She is 3 or 4 years old already and doing just fine.

    possible friend for disabled hen

    I have a hen that is a few years old - she had encephalopathy when young and I somehow managed to keep her going. I had her in the house in a cage for a year - now she is outside in a coop all by herself. I can't put her in with the 3 other girls because she still has some issues and they will...

    Ended Contest #3 Cutest Baby Fowl - 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    Ended Contest #3 Cutest Baby Fowl - 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    Decided to give it a try - taking pictures of baby chicks is not an easy mission - they just aren't all that interested in posing the way I want them to. These are my bantam cochin chicks from this year. They are doing so well - hoping to have the coop ready to move them outside before long.

    Wobbly chick

    I've got a wobbly chick too - got 17 chicks in on the 14th of July - all are well except this one. She is wobbly - can stand up and walk for a minute but eventually seems to lose her balance - spends a lot of time on her hocks. Eating and drinking the same as the others. I've used poly vi sol...

    new from missouri

    Hi, I'm a new chicken lover from Columbia Missouri. I incubated a batch of silkie eggs and now have 8 1 month old silkie chicks. I just moved them outside yesterday - though I'm bringing them in at night at this point because the nights are so cool. I'm loving it so far - there is something so...
