    Bantams from TSC

    Blue marked are a silkie mix, so they won't look like what a stamdard of perfection silkie looks like, but should still have the same soft feathering. The red marked pics is a sebright. I just bought some of these as well to see what they'll grow out to look like. They won't be mixed in with my...

    Sudden chicken death- cause?

    I'm in Maurepas, La. I've had a couple die this way, though it was weeks and not minutes. Turned out to be anemia from mites, bringing out wry neck.

    Silkie winter maintenance

    Review by 'CajunChickenMama' in article 'Mink - Chicken Predators - How To Protect Your Chickens From Mink'

    We found that 2 of our 3 chicks were gone. Feathers and meat at the few 1" holes in the dog cage coop remained. The 3rd chick was still present but had to be put down due to life threatening injuries underneath her chest, wings and rear end. Our 5 bigger chickens are 17 weeks and in a more...
