WOW. I haven't been on BYC in... forever :O! Good to be hearing from all of you guys again .
Well, my phoenix rooster is kind of banged up after fighting off a raccoon. Nothing serious that I can see, his comb is bloody and he looks depressed (his hen was eaten by the coons). My dad wants to...
My Golden Phoenix won Champion Standard, Best of Class, and Best Of Breeds at the Central Florida Fair!!!
I am so proud of my baby boy, Lex !
(Kiwi, my bearded silkie, only won a white class ribbon ..)
My Silkie cockerel is under weight (yes, I do feed him), and fair is on the April 25!! Is there anything simple that I can add to his food that will make him gain half a pound, or a full pound? Please help me! D:
I'm going to show my Phoenix rooster, and I don't know what the judges are going to be looking for! The internet has nothing on showing roosters that I can find helpful. Can you guys narrow it down for me, maybe with a diagram? I just need to know how to show my Phoenix.
Yesterday, I was free-ranging all of my chickens, and my two year old Phoenix roo struted up to my friends white OEGD pullet and DANCED. He was trying to flirt with her! You should have seen the dance, it was amazing ! Alas, the OEGB had no clue what he was doing, and ran away . I would love to...
My silkie cockerel is a sweet faced lover boy, as you might already know. He recently started avoiding me! I try to hold him, and he struggles, when I let him free range he won't let me pick him up anymore! He just runs away...! What is happening to my baby boy?
(I don't know if it has anything...

My baby girl has passed away, because of raccoons. I feel like such a bad duck owner, I should have taken her inside the house at 7:00 like I usually do.. My parents were right, I can't take care of anything. I'm sorry Adrian, I love you baby girl.. My first sweet, sweet, baby...
My silkie roo loves to cuddle with me. What a mommys boy :3. If I say "Kiwi, cuddle !" Then he happily struts on over, plops down in my lap, and nuzzles his head into my hand or under my arm.
Don't tell him I told you this.. It would embarass him somthing awful :o...
Ya' know how when chicken feathers are growing, and usually in the middle of growing feathers there is this weird residue in the shape of a tube that sticks around the growing feather (much like bark on a tree)? Well I found out that if you calm down a chicken enough to sit it down in your lap...
Salmon Faverolle hen! They are too cute, and the chicks are precious! Is there anything I need to know about them before I buy one? Please don't send me links -_-;. I would like to hear some personal thoughts, of your own. Many thankies!

Squeee! So cute D!
Okay guys, this is Kiwi.. and he was born on September 16, 2008. I'm 99.73% sure he's a boy, but someone (not saying names) keeps on saying he's a pullet, and the person won't give up! Am I wrong about my "cockerel"? Or is he really a boy?
What is the name(s) of a breed of chickens with the fluffy cheeks? And do any of you have pictures of the fuzzy cheeked chickens that you own, that you would like to share? I would love to see.
I would love to see pictures of your chickens with the "cutest cheeks". No, I don't mean butt cheeks either xD.
I know this post is kind of random, and maybe even a bit out of place; sorry. But I would still love to see those pics .
This is Kiwi .
Athena likes the pretty bush/ shrub thing.
He thinks he's so pretty..
but that's okay. Because he is pretty .
Lol, my duck is like "What the heck?"
Lol x).
She's hiding in his fuzz xD.
Lol, Adrian .
My phoenix roo, and my phoenix hen have kind of "ashy" combs. I live in Florida, so the cold can't have anything to do with it. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and how I can clean it up?
Thanks !

Long story, ending with three of my Phoenix roo's LONGEST tail feathers getting pulled out . Two feet long, each. How long is it going to take for them to grow back, not fully; maybe just one foot?
He was in a molt when they were pulled out. Fair is in April! I'm freaking out!
