Thank you, sorry, I didn’t get a notice of your reply. I tried the ointment and cleaning her eye for 5 days, and added vetRX to her water and under her wings. There was no change and she was still acting normally, but I was worried there was an underlying issue with no symptoms so I started her...
My light Brahma has one foamy eye and no other symptoms. We traveled to evacuate from a fire and are now safely home. The girls did a lot of digging in their temporary location, but the yard we used had never had other fowl there. I just separated her after treating the eye with Terramycin...
I have a mixed flock of 6 standards and a Golden Sebright, D’uccle, and 2 Silkies. My original Silkie has never laid an egg in her life (and she’s definitely a hen), but my other 3 are laying daily! My barred rock, EE, and light Brahma lay 4-5 times a week, and only my sex-links and BO lay close...
I saw this thread when I was about to post about MY non-laying bantam. Toffee came to us as a pullet right about the same age as our new little flock that we had just transitioned to the coop. After a day or two of settling in, everyone got along well and Toffee behaved as the others except for...
You’re correct! My sex-link came running out of the coop this morning and left a new dark egg. Thanks, of course reference helps, here’s one with a golf ball and the sex-link with mystery egg:
I’ve scoured the web and here for accurate egg pics in my breeds but I’m still in the dark. I have red sex-link, BR, BO, Light Brahma, and a silkie, and I think the rich reddish brown XL is my barred rock and the mid tone L is my sex-link or BO. But I keep getting the smallest egg every other...
You were correct, BTW! Crowing by 4 weeks. We renamed him Henry Higgins and sent him to the stables where he could live out his rooster life in my friend’s nice mixed flock.
Good to know! We have an EE that we got as a laying hen and she hasn’t laid a single egg since October. Our BO and red sex link pullets started laying then, and my BO is laying daily. Hoping to get my EE back into the game.
So my June hatched pullets began to lay right on target in November. One did, anyway. For the last two weeks I’ve been getting nervous not seeing more then one faithful daily BO egg. I checked under their dog crate today after ignoring it for a week and look what I found?! Apparently these are...
Thank you! It is too bad that not many towns will allow Roos, but I do understand, given the noise. They seem to be friendlier than most of their female counterparts to me. And so beautiful! Our first batch was all standard and we had one EE Roo who’s at our local stables now. So I can visit!

I know, right? His brother Bolt is a looker too, but has less white. I ordered 2 and got an extra, good thing since I wanted a pullet. Wish I could keep roosters! Yes, silkies have turquoise lobes, but they’re usually buried in fluff.
Roos! I took pics for re-homing purposes, and it turned into a photo op.
My Golden Sebring, Griffin. He began crowing at 5 weeks.
My Mille Fleur D’Uccle, Dash (his brother Bolt is not shown). The sweetest of the batch! He posed well for me.
My silly Blue Silkie, Lobo (formerly Lola)...
