Yes, that crazy bird is a Silkie/frizzle. I also have a Columbian Wyandotte frizzle. Both Roos, dang it. Of course, I got zero frizzle hens out of the hatch.
I have the broody crew. I have eight hens..Three are Polish and the rest are assorted bantams. Had one go broody a month ago and let her hatch some eggs. Now, I have a bantam that is broody and a POLISH that is broody! She's like Jurassic chicken. I didn't think my Polish would be going broody...
I'm with The Salvation Army. I became a foster parent a year ago and have a 12 year old boy. We are planning to adopt him when available. He loves having chickens!
If any of you are interested in becoming a foster parent and you're in the Wichita area, let me know. I train foster parents and am a foster parent myself.
Thanks. I definitely don't want to do it but it is interesting. I've had some roosters that I really like but I live in Wichita so I couldn't keep them. Would be kind of cool to have this done to some in the future if available.
I'm super excited and nervous. I gave my broody frizzle some eggs to sit on. I've never tried this before. I'm thinking they'll hatch late next week. Hopefully, the chicks are healthy and my hen is a good mother.
It's a sad day here. After having chickens for just over a year, we lost our first one this morning. She was laying dead in the coop. Don't know what happened. I did notice she was hanging out away from the rest of the girls yesterday but that was it. We only have six backyard hens that all have...
Danz, I don't want flyers either! I live in the city limits. I thought they were pretty chill birds. If they turn out hyper & flighty, they may not work out here. I have bantam Cochins now & they're super cool.
Teenage chicken! These teens are at that super friendly stage. Hope they stay friendly. I have four & I am hoping for more girls than boys. Time will tell.
My little city chicken flock is a year old. We've been in this a year & I love having chickens. Right now I have 2 roosters & 3 hens but getting ready to do some flock rearranging. They are so much fun.
