I am getting almost 100% fertility rate on these birds. They have just started laying since...
I traded 2 mille fleur d'uccle pullets for some turkey eggs. They are Royal Palm and Slate. I'll pick some more up from him later. Most of his hens just came off being broody, so they are slowly restarting to lay.
I'm also picking up 6 new jersey buff and 6 calico poults as well as 12...

I went in to close up the girls tonight and one of my dog's, a Westie, started to growl and zoned in on where my mother silkie was with her chicks underneath. It was a baby opossum!
It was just eating the chicks food but it would have grown up to make silkie snacks out of my girls, so I...
Anyone have any Mille Fleur D'uccle eggs that they would be willing to sell/trade? I have silkie eggs. My silkies are pet quality, bearded. I have a splash roo, partridge, black and red hens.
Hi everyone. I was at Meyer's hatchery today getting a new 1588 bator and they had some extra chicks there. Lots of variety. They had some turkens, buff colored, several with bow ties.
They were really reasonable too, all the same price, like 2 - 3 bucks, so if anyone lives in Ohio and wants...
I have six bearded silkie chicks in Ohio. One is white, one black, several partridge and it looks like one will be blue or splash. The chicks are a straight run. They are a week old and thriving with their mom.

I live in Norton, Ohio, which is near Akron.
Hey guys, what do you think, roos or hens?
I have two young silkies that are shaping up differently than the others. This splash and blue both seem to be getting longer necks than the others of the same age. They are about 3 mos.

I was wondering if anyone else dries their summer greens to add to the chicken's food in winter?
I dry my swiss chard, beet greens & kohlorabi leaves from my organic garden to add them to my pastas and to the dog food I make for two of my dogs. I decided to crush these and added them to their...
Two of my 7 silkie 8-week-old pullets are loosing their ability to stand, walk and sit up. It started with being uncoordinated in walking and quickly progressed to spraddled feet, then eventually they couldn't even hold themselves up. They are on the medicated starter feed, vitamins/minerals...
Has anyone used an old luggage carrier for a car as a brooder? I was thinking of using it, cutting a hole in the top part to insert the heat lamp. On the bottom, cover it with plywood and shavings. Then I want to rais the top part by cutting 4 2x2 sticks and screwing them to the four corners...
