Hello everyone!
I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry. Unfortunately, this year was not a great year considering their genetics, as in the same batch I had a chick with pus coming from its eyes. Even with assisted feeding...
Hey there!
One again back from a break to ask if this silkie rooster looks even a little bit close to Lemon Blue? I'm thinking about crossing Lemon Blue cochins with him to possibly make a Lemon Blue silkie. His mom was a buff, while his father was a black crossed blue(?).
He hatched out...
Hello there!
I have this small Indian runner duck, who we call Mama duck, who is the survivor of a predator attack that took her leg. We've been helping her since she's lost her leg, and she does a pretty dang good job at getting around. Recently, however, she has seem less interested in food...
Hello there all!
I have 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens which I got from TSC on April 5th this year. I'm looking to possibly trade these 4 for more oriental breeds like Polish/cochins/Ayam cemanis/Phoenix and more. Only breeds I'm unwilling to accept are Silkies.
I originally got them for...
Back again to add another little update to this young girl!
The same information as provided on the post about her a bit ago-
She was bought from TSC
She was from a mixed bin with wyandottes
There were bantams and other breeds available that day
I'm pretty sure my TSC supplies from either...
Hello there once again! I dont know when (I think about 2 weeks ago) I asked what this chick might be! Well, she's now bigger and mostly fully feathered. Starting to question if she is a he due to her slow feathering - she's got gorgeous blue/gray feathers!
(Sorry for picture quality)...
I have a broody hen hatching out 8 silkie eggs, they will be buff and self blue/black, their hatching dates will vary from a week and a half to 2 weeks/possibly sooner.
Was seeing if anyone would be potentially interested in the eggs if they do hatch out, please note that there's atleast 8, no...
Hello there all once more!
I was actually confident with this one when I got her, as she had the pea comb, slate legs and appearance of a sebright when she was littler.
Is she just a hatchery quality not as vibrant sebright/will she get brighter or darker when older, or is she just a different...
Hello there once again! I have these 3 silkie chicks hatched from my own eggs and this frizzled(?) Ayam cemani- looking to find some info!
Firstly, I wanted to know what the silly silkies will look like grown up. Their dad was a mostly black silkie and their mom was a buff - wondering if that...
Hello there all! I recently hatched a cutie - a little Easter Egger. She needed to be assisted, because her membrane shrink-wrapped while I was at school! I don’t know how long she was shrink-wrapped, but she could breathe. She wasn't able to get out on her own so I helped her.
While assisting...
Hello there! About 9 days ago, I bought 3 chicks and 2 ducks from my local TSC, and I've identified them all except for this one chick.
She's quiet, varying shades of gray("blue"), with some slight white streaks in her fuzz. She has pink toes but green legs, yellow skin, and a single comb. I've...
Hello there all and happy evening/morning/night! Here's some pictures of all 10 of my current chickens;
3 leghorn, 3 isa, and 4 silkies!
Currently, only one leghorn is named, and she's my favorite! No up close pictures, but she's a little pecking troublemaker who loves to sit in my lap! Her...
Hello there all! This is a placeholder for when I'll (hopefully) get my eggs! Their expected delivery is anywhere from the 18th to the 21st!
I've asked the seller for more blue eggs overall, and they were able to fulfill my request from my knowledge! I have the chance of hatching Ayam Cemani...
Hello there! I'm a new member, currently getting into raising my own chickens! Back when I was a kid I had lots of chickens, from rare mixes to blue and olive eggers. Ordered some Ebay Hatching Eggs on the 11th, looking to expand and get some even rarer breeds!
Currently, I'm a proud chicken...
