Help! We have 12 hens and one rooster. 10 of the hens are game hens, feisty, one is a Silkie and the other is a regular big red hen.The games were given to us. AND they're sitting on too many eggs.
Two of our hens have gone broody. One of the game hens and the Silkie. True to form, the...
Our American Game Rooster, think that's what he is, is in a cage - we got him with 11 game hens as part of the 'gift' deal. Yesterday found him out of the cage fighting with our other roo. He had no comb. Found his comb on top of the cage.. It was sliced clean off.
I put woundkote on it...
Here's a collage of our new rooster. I just posted about the game hens and put up pics. He came from the same guy. Anyone got any idea. The guy who gave us the hens and him breeds 'game' roosters and apparently this one was not so great at it. HATE this idea, but glad to rescue him and the hens.

I'm Sunny and I live with my husband Forest on some rented land in the Georgia/TN Mountains. Last year our young neighbor asked me to swap some of my famous venison jerky for two chicks. We ended up with what we thought were part Silkies. The hen is very silkie, the cock not so, but he has...
Hi, I'm totally new to this. My Black Silkie was sitting on 4 eggs. Two hatched out 5 days ago and then after two days the others weren't hatched, soon the advice of a neighbor who has tons of hens and chickens I took the last two eggs out as I thought they might not be OK. [I put two eggs in...
I don't know if I can put an image as I'm a new member so I uploaded one and hope it will show up..

The boy told me they were A... a something.. and his grandmother said they will lay green/blue eggs.. but they aren't old enough yet.
