We have had this 'visitor' for a couple of days in our big horse barn-felt bad because it's so cold, so caught her and brought her inside. I then realized she has ID leg bands. I think she is a dove, although someone at the barn thought pigeon.. Does anyone know how to look them up? I had no...
I purchased some Wyandotte eggs, and the lady told me that there was a chance of a few mixes too. There were mostly Wyandottes in the pen- mixed colors, but also an Ameracauna Roo, and a couple of Australorp hens. More than half of the chicks that hatched looked just like this- curious if its a...

I've never seen a chick like this one-but I'm sure some of you guys have.. A buyer got it as a "free rare/ exotic" in an order from McMurray, but did not want it.
Thanks!
Hi there, I live in Maine. I'm looking for a few more Silkie chicks and a couple of hens. Having a hard time finding a breeder local that seems reputable with healthy looking birds (based on pics). Can anyone recommend a good breeder that is local to me, or that will ship. Will anyone ship...
I have had chickens in the past, and currently have a few Silkie chicks- looking to start a flock. We live on a big farm, have horses and can't wait to have chickens running around my yard again.. I have learned a lot on this site in just the past few days. Thank you for all your posts and...
