    Why Spay and Neuter?

    So we foster mother dogs with puppies that are too young to enter a shelter system. This last time we ended up receiving stolen dogs that we didn't know we're not surrendered yet. So when the owner filed a complaint to the SPCA about his mother dog and her 4 5 day old puppies being taken against...

    Silkie is deathly thin!

    So I have a silkie that I bought a few weeks ago and she was kinda small when I got her, but since she was only 16 weeks old I figured it was because she was young. Well on Monday I went to go let my babies out and she was not really going with them and just kinda stayed where she was on the...

    What Color Is This?

    So while our and about this weekend we picked up a few chickens including this lovely lady here. We were told she is a Class C Serama from a breeder in WA. I would love to know what her coloring is called so I can look for more. Thanks :)

    Swollen, hot to touch leg

    So my hen started limping slightly three days ago, and I figured she probably just landed on it to hard or something of that nature, because it wasn't swollen, she didn't seem hurt or upset by anything I did to it to try and assess for breaks or anything and I couldn't find any cuts or scabs or...

    Porcelain or Lavender Silkie Eggs in DE/MD/PA/NJ/VA

    So as the title suggests I am looking for Silkie hatching eggs that I don't have to have shipped. I would love porcelains and lavenders, but I'm good with other colors as well like partridge and blues. My main criteria is to be able to pick them up. I had some porcelains shipped and if I'm lucky...

    Mixed size flock?

    So does anyone keep a mixed size flock? I have LB of various stages in growth as well as BLRW and I would like to some other breeds, but I only have one large coop. Does anyone else do this and have everyone cohabit peaceably?

    My Serama has a gender crisis!

    So this is Bob, sold to me by a fellow BYC member and he is the coolest chicken on the east coast! Bob is my house chicken, in the very same way my corgi is my dog. Bob stalks me just like my corgi, but instead of naps at my feet, he prefers my hair or shoulder. I adore Bob and would like to get...

    Hens??? Or one of each???

    So yet again not the best pic and I had to corner them because I bought them as a pair of hens at an auction last week and they are still scared to death. They are almost full size LB and probably close to 7 months old. The sellers loss was my gain because he didn't know LB take so long to...

    Hen is sick

    So I've posted on here before and gotten very helpful advice, so I'm trying again. We purchased a hen from an auction last night and she seemed fine there, with the exception of some missing back feathers, which we figured was from a Roo. This morning we got to check on her and she is making...
