I just thought these two looked like an adorable couple, that's all! If anyone has any white silkie x lavender Orpington crosses I'd love to see em cause I'll try to hatch out some in Spring!
This is JR jr. and she is a 7month old Blue Laced Golden Wyandotte Hen. She is a great bird overall, a little bossy when she was a teenager, but now she has chilled out a bit as she has matured. She was the only chicken that seemed to actually kinda struggle with the heat of East TN summers, but...
I want to replace the wooden block on the top and bottom that keep the doors flush against the coop because the middle lock doesn't provide that. Any ideas on what I could use, I don't want to use 4 hasps haha. Thank you for your time and consideration! Couldn't find an older post that had this...
I absolutely love Donkeys and I work with a couple at the Museum of Appalachia, this is Frisco and Anton! I'd love to see pictures of your donkeys, one day when we have a bigger property we will get a pair.. until then, I'd love to see yours!
I'd love to share my coop with y'all, I'm not a carpenter nor have I built anything this size before. I took my time editing it as I went and love the current state of the coop. The true test will be winter, but I think I am very prepared!
This coop houses 5 hens and a rooster. I've opted out...
I'm not really worried about her because she isn't bullied, just bottom of the pecking order. I'm just curious how often y'all experience comb damage within your flock? It's obvious this hen (Pinto) had a chunk of her comb ripped off by a other chicken. Honestly it's never more than a quick flex...
I'm curious how many eggs everyone's silkies lay a week, ours just started laying at 20wks and she laid 6 eggs her first week! Is that normal? I know she isn't show quality cause her and the rooster I got together have straight combs (him more than her). Anyways, would love to know if this is...
I've read silkies usually lay later than other breeds and our Moira is the same age as our Barred Rock and Wyandotte but produced an egg before both of em! Just trying to share my excitement, so proud of her! 5 months and a few days!
Hello! This is my Silkie Rooster "Uncle Baby" and he has been seemingly bothered by something on his left side, he scratches his left wing against his leg (kinda like a chicken with scale mites does), however, I can not find any parasites on him which makes sense cause he is in a new coop that...
Just making sure y'all agree with this being the correct breed, I love her regardless!
Purchased her as Blue Laced Golden Wyandotte from a Co-op.
About 10wks old now!
Not that I will mind because I love her none the less, but do you think she (Luanne) will ever have a tail or did the shredder gene do it's work and it will more or less look like this when she is full size? She is over 6 weeks old and a great chicken that has paired with our Speckled Sussex...
Just curious what feed everyone uses for their birds, I would love to know what experienced poultry keepers use.
Below please tell me your favorite feeds you use for your flock, how big is your flock and sex of them, and how long you have been keeping poultry.
I hope this will become a very...
How does the coop match the silkie? I've never made a coop/building before but I think it turned out great! The paint my partner found and used is "Milk Paint" made from milk proteins so it's completely safe for the chickens. I have good ventilation up top and a low and high roosting bars that...
I know it is a little early to be able to tell, but it is always fun trying to guess! What do you think the gender is on these two? (4wk old white silkie chicks)
