Some pic's of my main guy. Feel free to critique. Just want to share his handsomeness. He is about 14 months now I believe. Not perfect but I like him so far.
My kids LOVE our Silkies. They are sweet, easy to catch and will sit in the kids laps and snuggle for long periods of time. This pic says it all.These are the two who started the Silkie craze at our house. We have three new coops, moved the old one and have more planned lol. Be careful.
I am interested in taking one or two of my birds to a show in my area. I have never shown before and have some questions on registering and cooping in etc. I know my birds are far from perfect but I want to learn as much as I can and meet other breeders. Also I want to know my birds faults and...
I have a few questions that I am thinking about since I have begun the journey of trying to raise chickens to match SOP. I have always had laying hens and raised chicks from what I had with no real attempt at controlling the outcome. I have both Silkies and Wyandottes and in my reading I have...
I have a question about improving type in my BLRW. I am wondering which standard color I could cross with to help improve what I have. I was thinking SLW. Would that work? I know it will take awhile whichever way that I can go but am willing to put in the time. I was thinking gold would...
I have 12 eggs under a broody silkie hen. She is the best momma. Can't wait to see how they turn out. Collecting more eggs for the incubator from these guys. Here are a few new pics.
My youngest boy Harley, about 10 months now. He is HUGE. Love him:)
Thank you very much. I really love them and am greatful to the people who I bought them from for letting me get them. So excited to hatch out my first chicks from my own crosses. I have been feeding them the fermented feed diet and can REALLY tell the difference in their feathers, eye shine and...
I just wanted to share with other wyandotte lovers some of the pics I took of my birds today. Love seeing everyones flocks.

I have been feeding FF for a few weeks now and both my flock and I like it. What I don't like is the feeders that I am feeding in. What worked before no longer works. What type of feeders are you using that will keep the birds out of the food, by that I mean, no jumping in and scratching around...
Yes, we have a LOT of wildlife where I live. I originally got her to help watch over the kids when they were outside. We had a really bad cougar problem here for awhile. A very brazen one who would come right up on your porch. It killed my neighbors llamas and also one of my goats she had over...
I have an Anatolian Shepherd to guard my farm. She does a fantastic job and I have zero loss from any type of predator. Her run goes along the outside of my chicken area in a horseshoe shape. She is very good with my chickens and I never worry about her with them. That being said, as a pup she...
