I had two buttons that i got a couple weeks ago and assumed they were just a couple days old when i got them. I found out one was a blue face and one was a silver. They had been living in a cardbord box with the sides down until a couple days ago. I had to put the sides of the box up because the...
This silkie came from a red roo and a light partridge hen. The other chick that i hatched from this cross came out buff. Not exactly sure how old. Your opinion is greatly appreciated!
Also, any thoughts if it is a boy or girl? Thanks!
I got my first 2 baby buttons today. Oh my are they tiny. The guy i got them from said that they're two weeks old. No names yett. Also what colors do you think they will turn out to be? Or do you need better pics? Thanks.
Next to a water bottlle cap.
I have finally convinced my parents to let me get a couple button quail. I am planning on getting some that are young. They are supposed to have the same temperature as chicks right? I wanted to know what you guys think i should use for them for food water cage bedding and everything else. I am...
One of my silkie hens has gone broody once again. I have been wanting some buttons for awhile now. I was wondering if i could put maybe 6 button eggs under her and a couple silkie eggs and take out the buttons once they hatch and leave her to raise the silkies. Would it work? Thanks.
I dont know what they are. Just popped up over the past couple days. I think the chick is a bantam mille flur. Got it from tsc about 6 weeks ago i think. Thanks.
Well i got some chicks from tsc out of the bantam bin and they have all turned out to have the silkie feathers. One has all the traits of a silkie but it dosent have any feathers on its legs and it is a little bit larger than the rest. 3 of them have straight combs. Also on 2 of them the toe...
I orderd a bunch of chicks from McMurray a few days ago and i would like to see what they are going to look like. Also i wanted to know if anyone got the free rare breed chick and what it was. Thanks!
I never noticed this, but i dont think one of my silkies is laying. I just figured this out because i used to have 3 silkies and a bunch of other birds and the silkie eggs are easy to tell apart from all of theirs. Well recently one of my silkie hens got killed and another went broody and now...
So today is day 23 and 2 chicks have hatched successfully. But the mom, Lola keeps pecking the chicks heads, is this normal? I think she does it because one of the chicks if very active and is running around all the time and she wants her to get back under her. But here is another problem...
So today is day 22, and i was starting to give up hope. This is my first ever broody and im so excited! I went out and got some fertile eggs from one of my neighbors, i really dont know what breed they are i just wanted to hatch some chicks. I got 3 brown eggs andone green egg also 3 of my...
Yesterday she was outside under a chair in the rain and all the other chickens were in the coop. I didnt think anything of it so i went and got a towel to take her into the coop with. She was only a little bit wet. Anyways, when i set her down she didnt move. She hasent moved much just a couple...
One of my silkie hens went broody about a week ago and i stuck some eggs under her and hoped for the best. Well on sunday my neighbors dog got in and killed one of my other silkie girls and scared her off her nest. The next morning i went out to check on them and she was back on the nest. One...
I make them.. One day one of my friends came to school with a duct tape wallet and i thought it was pretty cool so i went home and made one myself. Throughout the next week or so i bought a bunch of colors and made some awesome things; Bows, bags, bracelets, purses and i made my Dad a pair of...
i just went outside to put my chickens away and some were on the porch. i didnt think anything of it so i picked them up and took them to the barn. Once i got in there white feathers coverd the ground. i ran bact to the house to tell my parents and noticed there was a dead silkie under my...
Soo.. today i went to close up and saw one of my small silkies in the nest box. I thought maybe she was just planning to sleep there so i got and set her down.. but she just hopped back in her box! So i guess she's broody. I stuck a couple of eggs under her and marked them. I figured they...
