    Thanks for the info, I've never heard of cuckoo silkie before. My 11 year old daughter gave $5 for him at the stock swap. The people she bought him from said they'd never heard him crow, and never seen him breed. Doesn't matter, he'll be our pet.

    I didn't think of the barred Cochin. That's more along his size. He's a lot smaller than my rocks. Thanks!

    I picked this guy up at a stock swap today. He's got some silkie features, such as 5 toes, and the coloring of a barred rock. Very good temperament, very friendly. What do I have?

    Hens eating eggs

    It's kinda weird. My full size hens have never eaten eggs, just my bantams. The one that I know is doing it broke an egg while I was reaching for it! I may have to separate her from the rest.

    Hens eating eggs

    I took the divider out of the coupe, and the bb reds have more room. Built another enclosure for the sebrites, and gave both a separate bowl for oyster shell. I got 2 undamaged eggs today from the bb's(4 hens), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Hens eating eggs

    I have bb red, and golden Sebright bantams in a divided coupe. Lately, I've been getting fewer eggs from both, and caught one of the Sebrights eating an egg. They are eating well, and get treats like table scraps regularly. I feed them a mixture of laying mash, and chick starter. How can I...

    Good Place To Buy Golden Sebright Chicks

    I recently bought a pair of Golden Sebright's, and they're quickly becoming my favorite chickens. Bought these at a stock swap and I'd like to get a few more, but in my years of going to stock swaps, these are the first of this breed I've seen. I've never bought chicks from a hatchery, and I'd...

    Hens Almost Stopped Laying

    I have 7 sex links that have gone from 5-6 eggs daily, to 2. This has been happening for 4-5 weeks. I've given them oyster shell, and table scraps. I have 4 younger barred rocks that are laying 2-3 daily. What am I missing?

    New Chicks, Need Help

    Hens are doing well with chicks. Chicks are active and eating. One more chick is very weak, and I made the mistake of putting it back under the hen. I got pecked several times!

    New Chicks, Need Help

    Chicks are peeking from under hens, then going back under them. Dead chick is away from the rest.

    New Chicks, Need Help

    I've got 3 silkie hens and 1 rooster in a pen. 2 of the hens have been sitting, and the eggs are hatching. One chick is dead, and I'm afraid for the rest. Should I put them in my brooder, or let the hens take care of them?

    Egg Turner Quit, Turning Manually

    Started 12 eggs in the same incubator a few days ago, and now the counter is counting backward! It has been counting from 21 down, now it's counting up, and it's on 26. Have I done something wrong, or do I need a new incubator? The instructions are not very helpful.

    Egg Turner Quit, Turning Manually

    I tested my egg turning ability with 3 eggs. All three hatched this morning! It actually makes me feel more involved.

    Egg Turner Quit, Turning Manually

    I bought a Janoel 48 incubator, back in March, and it's worked well until a month ago, when the turner quit. Could I just use an egg carton bottom in the incubator instead of the turner to hold the eggs? The incubator holds temp and humidity well, and it's not that much trouble to turn the...

    Wazine For Goats?

    I recently picked up a pair of young pygmy bucklings. Will wazine mixed in their water be sufficient to worm them, or do I need something more specialized? I've always used it on my potbellys and dogs with good results.

    Hen Eye Problems

    Don't know how to post pics yet. I finally figured out the avatar, but still working on posting in threads. Just don't understand the lingo. Starting to weigh my options on the hen though. I've got way more invested in medicine than I do in her. Going to give it another week or so.

    Hen Eye Problems

    Got some of the ointment you mentioned. After we got the puss out, I noticed that the pupil of her eye is now a white spot. Any ideas? She hasn't lost weight, and her appetite is good. Don't think she can see out of that eye though.
