I've never seen cocci. Bear with me please. I washed the birds that had mites. They are about 4-5 months old. I have had them a couple of months. They have been in a big cage in my garage. I still see some mites but that is another post. grrrr
I taped her crest up so she could see better. She...
I recently bought some birds. The roo had some scabby stuff around his eye. I thought he got shavings in his eye. I did look through the feathers and vent area. Obviously not well enough. His eye got crusted over again so I got him back out and he has so many mites in his crest. They have bitten...
The 2009 Fowl Fest will be October 10th 11th in Frankenmuth. Anyone going? I doubt I can get anyone molted out by then. I have a few I would like to take..If I have the day off I may go even if it is just to check things out.
Andalusian blues are the blues that are darker on top then lighter on the bottom? More of a two tone blue correct? Well that is what I have and that is what I was told they were.
Self blues are lavender, more of an all over one color? Or is self blue seperate from lavender? Either way, I would...
I thought the splash chicks were a silvery white then got their splashed gradually? The reason I ask is I got some eggs from someone and hatched them. This person was recommended to me and the pics of the adult birds were nice.
Now that the chicks are feathering out I have a whitish one that...
This guy is a year old and acts like it. I have my own opinion of him but would like to know what others think.
No, he does not live in this cage and I apologize for taking his pic in the cage but I was most distressed by his behavior today. (feathers everywhere) He was very displeased with me...
If you bid on an egg auction and it lists 12 eggs in certain colors then what do you expect to receive? I ask because I received 15 eggs. Four of the eggs were a color that wasn't advertised. I don't have that color and I really didn't want it. I also got only one egg of a color I did want.
I...
These birds are about two months maybe a little more. The blue partridge is a week younger than the other two.
The white I think is a hen. I know it's neck is a little long and it is not compact enough. The blue acts like a cockeral. I couldn't get its crest very clean and it has so many new...
I have a blue silkie roo that is nice except his face is a little reddish.
I also have a really nice black hen except she has a bit of gold in her hackles. When I bred this hen before to a blue roo I got all blue
cockerals. Some had the gold as well which which I did not like.
Is it worth my...
HI. I used to be here a loong time ago. LOL I decided to go back to school for my BSN and then started working so I am just now back on the board.
I raise silkies in white, blue partridge, splash, and blue. We won first place for silkies the two years we entered at the county fair.
I haven't...
