We have a beautiful Frizzle cockerel, readily handled and very protective of the hens. His sire was a Frizzle cockerel (on site) and a Silkie hen (also on site), hatched July 2nd. We would recommend that not be penned with other males, as he has been very much the alpha cockerel. We live on...

We've been selling chicks for a few years now and I'm starting to see a few very distinct patterns emerge. I'd love to hear from folks because I'm wondering if this is something you've all experienced, as well. I do advertise in a few different ways, including Craigslist. These tend to be...

We're hoping to start our own fodder system this weekend and the only thing really holding us back at this point is choosing the right fodder seed. A few questions for discussions: 1) What fodder grasses would you recommend? We can go with a couple of options. We're currently looking into...

We have two Silkie boys that we're thinking to breed this Spring but there's some disagreement as to what specifically they are color/patternwise and are hoping folks can help us sort it out so we can plan for what color of chicks we'd like to have them breed. We also have a generation of...

I can't seem to find any information on this - its a Spanish breed of goose that supposedly tastes like pork. Anyone heard of it?

We had two bantam Cochin cockerels that were absolutely out of control and I knew they had to go - I called them the Mischief Makers, hubby called them the Mad Imp Rapists. They tried to mate with everything - the ducks, standard sized hens, rabbits and one kept going after one of our Basset...

Not sure what category to place this in, my apologies to any moderator who has to review this. We use a hanging feeder in the bantam pen, the gravity fed type. Yesterday we found one of our Silkie with her head stuck sideways under the lip of the storage cylinder. Frankly, we thought she was...

We're offering 3 Khaki Campbell females (2 of which hatched this summer) and 1 KC drake. They are accustomed to free range life, we pen them for breeding and sales. Pickup only, on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Two of our hens hatched Silkie chicks on August 18th and one of them is already laying again. Given how tiny these chicks are compared to my standard-sized ones - at what point do folks generally integrate Silkie or other bantam chicks into the rest of their bantam flocks? And because I know...

I have a couple of mystery boys, whom I'm trying to sort out with the genetics calculator, to figure out what color they are so I can breed them properly with our ladies. I've always had solid colored birds, so these little guys are throwing me for a loop and I could use folks' opinions. This...

We have a beautiful Splash Cochin rooster who is a gentle giant and he's very tolerant of our dogs, barncat, contractors, etc. He's a great protector, taking care of the chicks and ducklings on our tiny hobby farm and gently supervising them. Last year, we only hatched 4 of his chicks but he was...

We have beautiful ducklings hatched yesterday and this morning so they will need either foster mothering or brooder support - these are Khaki Campbells, KC/Rouen, KC/Blue Swede mixes. Very cute and great for delicious eggs and the Rouen and Swede mixes will make wonderful meat ducks. We also...

Hatched this Fall and not yet crowing, ready for his own flock of ladies.

I'm new to Silkies, especially Frizzled ones which is why I want to confirm my suspicions. Cockerel?

1) What type of bird , age and weight: Ameraucana, not quite 6 months old, not sure about weight but likely only a few pounds. 2) What is the behavior, exactly: Saturday slight trouble walking, found this morning under coop lethargic with pale comb and empty crop, shallow breathing and very...

I'm a Navy wife of a deployed sailor who barely knows what end of the hammer to hold. I can likely scrape some cash together to hire someone to build . . . something but I'd have to show them what I want. I'm desperate enough that those outdoor rabbit hutches are beginning to look good (but...

I've been having issues with one of our chickens eating eggs and if I'd have found out who it was, they'd be soup by now. I was just about to try a mustard egg but I was distracted by an opportunity to buy a collection of ceramic and wood eggs at a neighbor's yard sale. I'd cleaned them up and...

Our two new Cochin chicks (click on to enlarge): Thank you!

We have a lonely Bantie Cochin cockerel who is hoping we can find him some ladies. We live on Whidbey Island, but are willing to drive to neighboring counties on weekends. Thank you.
