I am looking for the follow breeds:
- Quality Bearded Partridge Silkie bantams
- Quality Bearded White Silkie bantams

You MUST be NPIP Certified and MUST be able to SHIP LIVE CHICKS 🐥! I am NOT searching for hatching eggs 🥚! They are too delicate and mishandled...
Anyone know where I can by live chicks of Bearded Partridge Silkies or Black Crested White Polish? I’ve searched the web everywhere- looked locally and more. I don’t want hatching eggs because they are far too expensive for the low hatch rate and the handling of them while shipping. I’ve been...
This is my boy Mercury! He had a bad winter this year because of his feet that got severely frostbitten. He loves humans a LOT more than other chickens 🤣Ijust wanted to share how handsome he is! <3
Hi all! I’m looking for anyone in Michigan that breeds Sebright bantams, more specifically, the Buff-Laced and Silver-Laced. Do any of you exist? Eggs or chicks.
Hello everyone! In five days from now, I’ll be starting over on rebuilding my new flock from what I’ve lost. I’ve raised many different breeds of chickens, but I have not ever raised Polish, Silkies or bantams of any kind from young young chicks. I wanted to ask, how different are they compared...

Do they have a good reputation? Has anyone ever bought chicks from either of them? Any reports of diseased birds from either one?
I’m looking for some options for flooring in all my coops. I had to tear out the previous flooring because of my flock having a disease. I have coops that are raised from the ground, so cement and dirt wouldn’t work. Any ideas or options would be big help!
As from the run area, what’s the best...
I’m looking for suggestions of the best incubators that are sturdy and work properly from experience. I got an incubator that was faulty last year, killed most of my chicks (43/50 of them died from it) and I’m looking to find something different that (hopefully) won’t cause this again. Pictures...
I’m looking for any breeders in the USA that’s currently breeding Buff-Laced Wyandottes and Buff-Laced Brahmas. You’d have to be knowledgeable in live chick shopping. Don’t be offended if I ask questions.
Hi all, I’ve been trying to research on how the best approach of using Oxine for disinfecting my coops. I recently (6 weeks ago now) was told to cull my entire flock because they had Mycoplasma Gallisepticum, Mycoplasma Synoviae, Infectious Laryngotracheitis virus, Fowl Cholera and Infectious...
Hello everyone, we recently had our flock diagnosed with Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILV), Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma Synoviae (MS). We humanly culled all of our birds, cleaned and disinfected everything with bleach. This was a horrible flock devastation for us and it hurt us...
So I had 2 necropsies I sent to my state of my birds that have died from some sort of respiratory like disease. Results came back saying it’s a bad case of aspergillosis fungus. There was also a bacteria called enterobacter that came back as well. Does anyone know what enterobacter is and how it...
What would cause this? She’s been like this ever since we got her as a little chick from a TSC. She’s a Barred Rock and the only one of all her siblings to have this issue. Could I be Ocular Mareks? She doesn’t seem to have oddly shaped pupils nor does the color of her eye look greyish. She also...
It all started when we ordered 15 Buff Orphington chicks from Cackle Hatchery, I don’t know what happened to her- if she hatched this way or she got injured on the journey to here, either way, she’s my love bug and I’ll do anything to help her feel comfortable. Meet “Googles”, my beautiful buff...
Not sure if I’m playing in the right spot, but today we did a necropsy on one of my birds that had passed away today. She was gaping and wheezing- no other symptoms of respiratory. When we opened her up, it looked like she had a hole in her right lung and it was filled with blood. Her heart was...
I have a 3 month old pullet that has dried up blood around her nares. I checked into her mouth and noticed blood all up inside her nasal cavity. What could cause this?
