Unfortunately due to a bad situation I’m moving and couldn’t find a place to take my flock with me. So I’m trying to sell them together for an awesome deal !!
I have 8 adults - 7 hens and a rooster
They are Silkie, Showgirls and Frizzles.
Gorgeous colors- Paint, Partridge, Cuckoo, Buff, Blue...
I’m just starting to bred my Silkies and Showgirls. I’m gathering and learning as much as I can. There is so much information out there.
This is one of the chicks and I’m stumped on it’s color.
In the breeding pen is 3 hens
White Silkie showgirl
Black satin Showgirl
Buff (poss lav split )...
I have a staggered batch in the incubator. Last night the first baby hatched. I left her inside to dry overnight. This morning none of the other eggs have pipped so I removed her. Not sure when the next will hatch. The furthest out is about 6 days.
I want to get her a buddy so it doesn’t...
Anyone have any tried and true methods for keeping a fox away ? We lost 2 chickens to this fox a little over a month ago. Now it came back yesterday. I have small Silkies and Showgirls. The no longer free range in the side yard. They are kept in an enclosed run during the day and locked up tight...
So I ended up taking over for a hen that abandoned her nest. There 6 viable eggs after candling last night. With that said they seem to be days apart. I’m newer to incubating and candling.
I have two eggs that are mostly black due to the chick being bigger already.
Can anyone help me guess...
My hen went broody and I was letting her hatch out a clutch. She collected 11 eggs and was doing good. One morning I saw her in the run longer than normal so I watched her. Sure enough she was enjoying the sunshine with no intention of returning.
I quickly popped them in my incubator on 3/7...
