    Silkies are good for you!

    Another article from Science Daily. I couldn't resist sharing. There's a very helpful peptide in Silkie meat (twice as much of it than in regular chickens), because of the silkie's black skin/meat & bones. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/09/060914153621.htm A silkie a day keeps...

    Darwin and the Evolution of Chickens

    An article on Science Daily (http://www.sciencedaily.com) talks about how Darwin thought all chickens descended from the Red Jungle Fowl, but scientific research has shown that is not quite the case. You who have yellow skinned chickens actually have chickens descended from Grey Jungle Fowl...

    Question about silver sulfadiazene.

    Is Silver sulphadiazine safe to use on poultry? It's most commonly used on humans to prevent infection in open wounds (burns). It would be used to treat a tear near on the back of the neck near the head on a Turken pullet. She's about 3 months old.

    Odd shaped aircells, uneven in form

    Are odd shaped or uneven aircells a sign of humidity problems? Maybe the humidity is too low? It's only showing in a few of the eggs, not all of them.

    Buff Orpington X Barred Rocks - from SpeckledHen

    These are turning out to be pretty birds. I'm thinking about breeding the girls to my blue orpington (that I believe is a cockerel) to see what I get. This is not all of them, just the ones I was able to catch with the camera. They're from SpeckledHen's Hawkeye (barred rock rooster) and...

    As only chickens can.... (a true story)

    Recently, the husband of a lady I work with passed away. He'd been diagnosed with cancer and only lived about 3 months after the diagnosis was made. She has since returned to work and told me something that sorta gave me chills after I was showing everyone my green easter-egger egg (one of...

    My First Hatchlings (16 SpeckledHen Granbabies & 7 of my own)

    Okay, when I took these they were all in neat order and when my computer copied them from my camera they got all mixed up. Now I don't know for sure which one is Charlotte's baby. I'm going to do pictures of just that one when I get home tonight! lol Cubalaya (mix) from my birds Buff...

    I have a broody RIR!

    So, I've been busy lately and fell behind on collecting eggs out of one of the nests. Yesterday I checked it and one of my RIR pullets was in there. I left her alone, thinking she was just going to lay an egg and leave. Later on, I saw her come out and I went inside for a brief moment to get...

    Edibility of Meat after Injury.

    I have an approximately 5 month old RIR cockerel that decided to squeeze himself through the rusty remains of a spring mattress. He hooked his wing and was stuck for awhile (a couple of hours, as we can best guess) even though he tried to continue to push himself through. He's injured, a cut...

    What breed is this hen?

    She's the last of the chickens that populated my place upon purchase. I thought she was a sex-link of some sort, but I have not found any references to support that. She's got yellow legs, single comb, and I don't know what color egg she lays or if she even still lays because I've never...

    Wheaten based splash coloring - anyone have pictures?

    All of the cubalaya coloring (from what I've read) comes from a wheaten base. I have blue wheaten (blue-red) cubalaya, but I may have a splash cockeral and a splash pullet. I'm trying to figure out what the splash pattern looks like when it comes from wheaten base. I was told to look for a...
