    Do Silkie hens ever have green in their tails?

    I am trying to sort out my black males from females in my silkie flock. No one is crowing yet, but some have started to get the green/blue iridescence in their tail feathers, even though they don't have "streamers" yet. Do hens ever have this coloring in their tails? Or am I safe to assume...

    What color should a freshly butchered chicken be?

We have butchered 2 of our Cornish X that are approximately 8 weeks old , one due to having difficulty breathing, and the other a leg issue.

    Lethargic 10 day old silkie chick

    I hatched out 6 sillkie babies 10 days ago and all were doing great until yesterday when my favorite of the bunch started sleeping a lot, isolating itself, and looking generally lethargic. I have given it water with a bit of sugar, and chick saver, and it has eaten a tiny bit. They are getting...

    EE Roosters in Ventura County, CA to rehome

    I hatched out several EE roosters about 4 months ago, and they are slated to be butchered this week. They are beautiful, but alas way too many for my small flock! I just thought I would offer them first to anyone in my area, as I certainly would prefer to rehome! I would be happy to email...

    Ok, Do I go with beauty or braun???

    OK, out of 4 eggs this spring, we hatched 3 roos..... I only have 7 hens - so need to get rid of two of them. One is a no brainer - but the other two ? My DH wants the large EE to stay - and that roo is the dominant one, the most friendly, gentle and will eat out of our hands. But, I love...
