    Review by '' on item 'Penedesenca'

    Very pretty, but a little cooky. Great look out bird for predators. Will roost very high in the trees if allowed to free roam. Warms up with frequent treats but very untrusting of humans. Gorgeous feathering and funny floppy comb. Keep them around for their eggs, but will stop laying at the...

    silkie sexing

    If a silkie chick (about 2 weeks old) has really fuzzy feet and hock tufts does that tend to indicate a cockerel? None of the other babies are as fuzzy. Just curious what others have experienced.

    Confused chicks? Need suggestions please.

    Ok. The chicks are actually two and a half weeks old now. They are silkies and are not fully feathered out yet... Just wing feathers right now. I kept them inside for a week and a half before putting them in a coop and waited another week before I allowed mom to take them out into the run. I...

    Confused chicks? Need suggestions please.

    I picked up 6 three day old bantam chicks from TSC (got them the day they arrived from the hatchery) and I put them under my broody silkie hen and three of them are a little slow when it comes to nighttime protocol. I have a small coop with a small run and every night I go to lock everyone up...

    Mystery chick

    Hello, I just picked up 6 chicks from my local TSC and I thought 5 were silkies and one mystery chick, but turns out I have 2 mystery chicks because one of the vaulted head chicks doesn't have 5 toes and feathery legs. What do ya'll think? Polish? The grey one is a mystery, too. It's...

    The Sizzle Thread!

    Hello everyone, I just hatched out my very first chick from my adult chickens and I unknowingly may end up with a sizzle. So here is the picture of "Sylvester" who's dad is a white frizzled cochin and mom a black silkie. I hope it has the feathers, but it is awfully cute either way. Love...

    Our chicks, one not well.

    search poly-vi-sol in this forum or mix a little sugar and water and dot a little on the side of her beak so she doesn't aspirate. Sounds like it might need some extra nutrients/electrolytes as mentioned above.

    Hawk! Only a predator to young or bantams?

    I had a hawk kill 7 of my birds in one day. It was a red-tailed and it went under my low carport and picked them out from under a very heavily branched/leafed butterfly bush. I walked out to it eating the biggest of the 7 right next to the remaining 10 that were still under the bush hiding...
