Looking for some advice please, Jeremy is a TSC “assorted bantam” bin Silky, who is about 8 months old now. She was laying daily until a few days ago, but something is clearly wrong with her now. When I tossed scratch out this morning, Jeremy didn’t even look at it, and this girl is a snack...
Free to a REALLY good home, 2 darling, blonde, week-old Silkie chicks from TSC.
♥️🐥♥️🐥♥️
Both are healthy and started on medicated chick food, but they really deserve a home where they weren't chosen because TSC has a "4 chick" policy.🙄
So! If you're close to Eugene, or if you're willing...
My child and I were gifted this darling pathetic little hen a few days ago, and other than a tendency to tremble/shake a lot, she seems fairly healthy. Her comb seems awfully dark to me, possible heart issues? As far as I can tell, she's semi-mobile and can flap short distances, the previous...
What's the best treatment for an egg-bound hen? My neighbor has a classic case and I'm trying to help her, 😟 I've never dealt with this so I wanted to double check, we're going to give her a warm epsom salt bath now, and I gave her some Nutri-drench.

Thank you!
-Female Silky, 9 months old, the larger of the two pullets.

-Lethargic, seems off-balanced, like there's a problem with her nerves, and yesterday I saw her stumbling while walking. She has a weak response to my finger with her foot (gripping test), and she literally fell asleep in...
I'm posting this for my Dad! He adopted one of the "PLC's" (my old neighbors neglected flock), as a young pullet with a broken/crushed leg. Since then, "Calypso" has lived inside my Dad's house in a special cage (made so she can easily move from food/water, to perch, to nest box), and been his...
Meet my beloved pet "Sunspot", a completely random mix of Silky (extra toe + soft feathers), Easter Egger (the little poofy FACE!!🥰), and any number of other breeds, that mixed together over many years. Occasional new chicks were added from time to time, this was an old neighbor. Anyhow! I've...
When "Sunspot" was just a tiny fluff, my child rescued him from a horse pasture. One live chicken expert, and lots of knowledgeable folks on here, thought it was female, a pullet at about 2-3 months of age. Well, at this point, Sunspot is crowing, and exhibiting almost all of the other dominant be
Craigslist here in Oregon is no help, I'm looking for individual chicken values, no coop, and no supplies. @casportpony @Eggcessive at...oh dear. Who on here is good with pricing different breeds/some rare colors, all under a year. Anyone..?
My flock now consists of... I'll list them all...
Hello!
This is "Sunspot", she was rescued on June 12th and looked maybe 2 weeks old at that point. She's a barnyard mix, Silkie, Ancona, Polish, and about a hundred other breeds. She was sexed by the one & only, "Fran the Chicken Lady" as a female, about a week after being rescued.I
At that...
Well, one of my Sicilian Buttercup pullets hopped up on my shoulder a few minutes ago, she cocked her head at me, and BAM!!!
SHE ATE THE SAPPHIRE STUD OFF MY NOSE PIERCING 😯😲😱🤯
I've got her in a cage.....and now I'm collecting her poop 🤔
So!
It's the top part of an internally threaded barbell...
These guys were rescued from my neglectful neighbors flock, there are seven chicks, mixed heritage with some Silky in there. Good temperaments, hardy, and small! Probable roosters in this batch, please be certain you can have chickens where you live before responding!!!
One chick has a super...
We moved with our small flock of 7 hens and a rooster, to an old friend of mines place last fall, sight unseen. I trusted things would be, more or less, how they were the last time I was here. A small flock of beloved hens, placidly pecking about. Cared for, loved, healthy...
Well, when we...
After their biological mother heartlessly abandoned them, these 3 chicks were saved by my son from certain death. All three of them are now thriving, I'm happy to say, and ready for a new home! One looks part Silky, the other two are just plain pretty. Please send me a message if you're...
Help!
My poor Go-Go Noodlehead (Easter Egger), she's been looking this way for awhile. Now her sister Helen (also an Easter Egger), is starting to show similar feather loss. I thought it might be from one of the lead ladies bullying them, but I'm not sure.. There is a hen lower than Helen, and...
Today a while visiting a friend, one of her hens appeared with three brand new babies, so cute! Then we noticed one wasn't doing so well. The tiniest chick was laying down a lot, and the hen kept stepping on it as though she meant to. (Cull the weak?)
Well, of COURSE I had to scoop it up, dash...
I've hand-raised my nearly 1-year old SLW roo from a tiny chick, and when I scoop him up? He's downright snuggly! I love this guy! Mostly. He's an excellent flock leader too! Takes fantastic care of his hens. ♥️
However, he will randomly get all "roostery" and decide to fly at my leg and peck...
"Xena the Warrior Chicken" warming her tootsies on my partner's nice, warm head. Being a well-mannered chicken, she's also saying "hello!" on a cold morning...😁
(She's my only New Hampshire Red, in the beginning she "failed to thrive" and is now my best layer!♥️)
Who else has funny pictures of...
