    Our new Rooster - what am I?

    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.

    Georgia Chicklets

    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...

    Hen Pecking Little One

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...
