    Need advice on Splash silkie

    Thank you. The little one is called Rainbow Dash. Sparkles was one of a kind. The first pet that I burried with my own hands.

    Need advice on Splash silkie

    Hi everyone. I lost Sparkles a month ago and because I miss her so much I got myself another Splash Silkie. She is around 3 months old. Will her colors continue to change? Do splash chicks generally get darker colors as they grow up?

    Sultan chicken with a cream/pale pink egg?

    Thank you! I think Buttonquailgirl14 made a good point. Sultan chickens have pink skin. I remember many months back thinking about black chicken soup and how they are all made from Silkies. Then I remembered thinkinf to myself, “hey wait...I thought only silkies have black skin. That is so...

    Sultan chicken with a cream/pale pink egg?

    The one infront had pink skin. We got them at the same time but sadly she passed away. It was all so sudden. Looking back, they didnt look the same- one had really long feet feather, pink beak, large afro head. I dont know what to look for in a pure breed Sultan so even if I get more in the...

    Sultan chicken with a cream/pale pink egg?

    Thank you! It’s kind of reassuring to hear 3 people saying the exact same thing because, to me,she looks very different from her silkie flockmates and she could fly very very high. She’s our first chicken ever so she will still continue to rule her coop and have a special place in our heart...

    Sultan chicken with a cream/pale pink egg?

    I think you are right! I also asked a local expert and she said the egg must be white and maybe a silkie mix? But she couldnt be too sure. Thanks for pointing out her black skin! It’s a shame she’s not a pure sultan. She’s our first chicken in our life and we love her dearly.

    Sultan chicken with a cream/pale pink egg?

    My sultan girl just layed her very first egg today. I’ve been reading a lot about the breed and was expecting her to lay the usual white egg. To my surprise, her egg is pale pink! Is it because she’s not really a Sultan chicken? She’s a pet so she will still continue to be loved and we only...

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    She free ranges from 6am-6pm in our backyard. I water the backyard around 7am but always make sure half of the lawn is not wet and doing the other half when the first half dried up. She loves standing next to me while i do that and would be walking on wet grass everyday for about half an hour...

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    Great advice! This is super helpful! She does roost at night- about 1.5inches off the ground (all my silkies just lift their foot up and stand on the perch) i have no idea what the size is at the moment as it is already 9pm will measure in the morning and let you know. She came to live with...

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    Thank you! I love cuckoos and out of all my chickens, Penelope is just the sweetest. We just finished taking the scab out before her bedtime. Hopefully 12 hrs of sleep will make her feel better.

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    Thank you. Was really hoping i could get away with no surgery. Will have to get someone to help me do it.

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    Hi. I’m still pretty new at chicken raising and would like some expert advice if Penny has Bumblefoot. She follows me everywhere and was sitting on the porch by the window waiting for me to come out again when i noticed her paw being a bit red when she raised it up to scratch her head. So i...

    What sex is my sultan chicken?

    On pekes, we do have friends with breathing problems that had to have surgery either to make the nostril larger, get rid of the fold, or something to do with elongated palate. Our 3 pekes do not have breathing problems. But one has IVDD- a common disease in pekes. A sad breed really with so...
