I really hope so but I would be happy either way. It's more of a pet since it's the only one I have that is a baby. It's funny little chick. It loves company. I keep the little chick at my sewing table with me during the day.
This chick was in hard shape when it hatched. It did not eat for 2 days and I had to force it to drink. Awful. Now it's eating well. i have to wet the food or it does not eat. This chick is a week old today and very small. It is supposed to be a white silkie chick. I bought 6 eggs off ebay and...
I have one new hatched supposedly "white silkie". I am thinking it might not be white. What do you think? Just the one hatched out of 8 eggs. I have a good incubator so, I know it's not that. I have 9 guinea eggs and all of them are fertile.
It's been a week and a half and no sign of the bear. I have the silkies close to the house so i will hear if something is amiss. I will shoot it. Or in that direction. I really do not want to kill it. It might be a mama. When bear season comes and that bear strikes again...lets just say it will...
I am very surprised the omlet held up. The other coop is wood and it's solid. How is the hot wire on the electric bill? Does it make it go up much? There is another way but I would rather not go that route and it's not the right season yet. Might have to wait until Sept. Hopefully the bear will...
Bear shenanigans. My omlet coops is a little messed up. Fixed it with zip ties. Lots and lots of zip ties and tomorrow or later this evening I might go and hog ring every single space where it connects. My hens are ok. Not much we can do about it. I don't like working out there without...
Yes hatchery quality. I do not plan sell chicks. I just want a couple of hens for eggs for us. Not sure what is wrong with hatchery chicks. I went with buying fertile eggs and lost hundreds of dollars on non viable eggs. I live in a state that really is not that big in the industry. If I was...
Aww she's pretty. Are they pretty good egg layers? I bought 10 female chicks. One died the next day but the rest look pretty healthy. I have 3 barred rocks, 2 speckled sussex, and 2 gray chicks, 1 white chick, 1 golden laced wyandotte. I hope they all survive. I will not keep all of them. I...
Here is my little silkie chick. His head still looks weird to me. He is super cute though and he is huge. I am thinking it's a he because of his size. He towers over all the other chicks that were born the same day as him. It looks like he has a double head or something. I posted another pic...
