    Ok, so here I am posting for my Mom again, shes getting into showing her LF cochins a little later in life and wants to know EVERYTHING! I'm a Silkie show addict, and don't educate myself with normal feathered birds much at all . She hatched what looks like either a partridge or red/gold...

    custom show transport coops in southern CA ???

    Yeah thats a nice one, pretty similar to the ones the guy had, except for the doors on top. His were slide out doors, but I think the hinged ones are pretty neat too. I'll send her the link, but I don't think she knows anyone with the time to build them? It will definitely help if we don't...

    custom show transport coops in southern CA ???

    Well, my Mother, thanks to me, is totally into showing birds now , and of course she wants to have some nice custom made wooden transport coops for her LF Cochins to be toted around in. My Silkies do fine in their KW rabbit transport cages, but hers are just too darn big, and she insists that...

    Silkie Pullet may have something lodged in throat...

    I am a little embarrassed to have to post this, since we usually figure the issue out and are able to treat. I cannot seem to find any other information based on her symptoms so hopefully someone has some advice from their experience. Okay, so I have a very nice little 3 1/2 month old...

    Will Banty eggs fit in a quail egg carton???

    I don't know if there are variations in quail cartons, but the ones that I receive button quail and valley quail eggs in are WAY too small for even a serama egg. I have D'uccles and silkies and just use the regular carton. If you feel that they move around too much, just wad up some paper...

    It's baaaccckkk

    Puma and cougar are the same. usually if they are able to get the prey out of the enclosure they will take it back to more familiar territory where they will eat it, or bury the leftovers for later (with larger kills). they are very elusive and don't like to eat where they are in the...

    what breed is she??

    I agree, SC lt. brown leghorn. if I'm not mistaken, I think you can see her white earlobes, little blurred though. She seems real active and healthy and in production (or about to be) with that lopped comb.

    Gender Please thought ROO but is making a clucking sound no crowing

    Roosters can be quirky and darn right feminine. One of my breeder silkie roos often climbs into a nest box and clucks softly. I reached under him when collecting eggs one day, since I actually thought he was a broody hen, One of our showgirl cockerels has started doing the same thing..it...

    5 Toes?

    Do you have any pics? There are a few breeds that naturally havefive toes, ie: silkies, faverolles, crevoceurs, sultans.....actually the last two breeds I'm not positive on, but the bird could be a cross or purebred from one of these or another 5 toed breed. Does it have black skin? What...

    Where do you keep your brooders?

    Quote: Have you tried the avian flightsuits or "bird diapers", they're so great! We let our turken and a few silkies roam the entire downstairs (kitchen has puppy gate) and they have a blast. plus it's really cute and funny for us. That way you don't have to bother with the pens, you...

    Where do you keep your brooders?

    About the skinnier chicks in w/ the healthy chicks, you probably need to worm them. This happens from time to time and you can use wazine in liquid or pill form, but with little guys try the wazine liquid diluted out a bit, it works for mine w/ no side effects. Around 5-6 mos of age you can do...

    Where do you keep your brooders?

    omg!! I'm so glad we're on the subject, and that I'm not the only one!! I will have to show these posts to my super tolerant, but understandably frazzled husband! Ok, so I have a little brooder and a bigger brooder (for day old to 1 week old, and the 1wk to 3 week olds)in our bedroom, then I...

    Help!

    I agree with the black one being an australorp, I used to raise black standard cochins and they can sometimes have some white feathers in the wing bows that usually moult out before adulthood. The only other breeds that chick really looks like are the black jersey giants or maybe a silver...
