My serama rooster has been putting the moves on one of my silkie hens.
I know the baby wouldn't be a "silkied serama" so what would it be? A micro silkie? A mutt? Something else?
How safe would it be to even have a micro silkie?
Any help, suggestions or PICTURES?
Anyone? Beuller?
I am looking for a serama cockeral. Any color or feathering is fine with me. I'm just looking for a decient price. Need a male for my lonely girl that hatched and needs a buddy/mate. I'd like them to bond before breeding next year. Looking for a fairly young one to match my girl but I'm willing...
Anyone what this little thing is?
It came with our order of Cornish X's from McMurray. It very obviously isn't a meatie. I'm guessing it's a cochin. Someone suggested brahma but the chicks aren't buff, they're multicolored but a buff cochin looks just like it.
Any ideas?
I have (about) 2 month old goose. She hurt her leg. I thought she just twisted her "ankle" so I put a splint on her foot for a couple days. When I took it off, she babied her foot and started walking on her "knee." I think she fractured her knee by walking on it. It's now very swollen and it...

Can they handle the cooler Maine temps?
I was thinking of getting a pair but if they can't handle these cold temps then I can't put them in that danger.
I couldn't find the serama thread so I'm hoping some of the pros will see this and tell me the truth. Can a serama handle the cold winters in...

I'm sure this question has been asked a zillion times but I'm gonna ask anyway.
She has access to 6 nesting boxes, all with Easter egg dummies.

I have it in my shoulder as well but I can't treat it with anything but muscle relaxers. Now my doctor thinks it's in my hip. I just had my bone density test done to check the progress of my osteoporosis and to rule out arthritis. She wants me to do physical therapy. Now here's my question...

Until my Dad showed me a package of deer meat that needed to be cooked up.
So I used some of it to make beef stroganoff.
Then I took the rest and tossed it in a freezer bag with terriyaki marinade, natural seasoning, monterey steak seasoning and seasoned salt.
Soaked for 24 hours.
Put in a pan...
