    From Perth, Western Australia

    Yeah last week I was suddenly having to spray the coops down and had to dip a few in the baby pool. They didn't know what hit them, the young pullets were having a real awful time with the heat and watermelon is SO expensive right now.

    From Perth, Western Australia

    Greetings from Balingup, WA. I keep a few breeds, easter eggers, naked necks and silkies. They're a real joy. Can't imagine how hot it's going to get in Perth soon, the weather has been so whacky this year!

    what is wrong with my hen

    That looks like scaly leg mites. Rub you hen's feet with vasaline or a cooking oil and it will smother them and treat the skin at the same time. If you do this at night you will have a less stressful time, as they are so much more docile then. Do this once a week until symptoms subside.

    They are all looking beautiful, I'd be happy to say I owned even one of these fantastic little birds. You must be one proud chicken momma :)

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Does it count if it's a cross? The girly (I hope) is a Silkie/Araucana/Barred Naked Neck. Possibly the cutest thing to ever come out of an egg <3

    Does anyone on here know when barred rock hens start laying?

    I have some huge barred rock naked necks and I think they started laying at about 26 or 28 weeks old. Their combs and wattles became a much brighter color red and their wattles became huge. Sometimes they sneak away and hide a nest on you but if you're a keen chicken watcher you'll be able to...

    Silver laced wyandotte, cockeral or pullet?

    Yeah I'm not sure how old they are, I bought them from an auction and the lady just wanted to get rid of them and wasn't sure :/

    Silver laced wyandotte, cockeral or pullet?

    Well that is just a **** shame. At least they're handsome boys, someone is bound to be interested in them :)

    Showgirls

    If all the chicks you hatched out are showgirls then I'd say it's 50% chance for them to pass on that naked gene, yeah.

    Silver laced wyandotte, cockeral or pullet?

    I'm pretty sure they're little boys, my Star and Spangled, but as I'm a greenhorn novice I thought it would be smart to ask before I post them up for sale. I got the two of them for $5 at a poultry auction 'unsexed' so I won't be shocked if they're little boys. They're just so sweet though, they...

    **HELP** Depue illinois Police came today said I have one week to get rid of chickens!

    That is awesome, I'm totally proud of you! I too feel like chickens have helped with my minor depression, they wake me up every morning and the first thing I do is go outside and do chicken chores and talk to my rooster, lol. You are one amazing person, I'm sure your family is so proud of you...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    Wraaaaagh, I'm so excited ._. The lady I bought them off of at Chookaloop said that they were 100% NN and alot of their hatch mates had less bowtie than mine do. She showed me their daddy and he had no bowtie at all. Naked necks seem to be seriously murky waters in Australia, to be honest...

    Both eyes closed. Whitish liquid fluid pouring from one eye....

    Actually it took out my partridge Silkie, Patches. Really if I'd been around birds more I would have recognized the signs. Patches seemed to be a bit dazed and wasn't keeping up with everyone but I assumed it was just because her feathers were starting to cover her eyes. Blackie still gets...

    Both eyes closed. Whitish liquid fluid pouring from one eye....

    Ah, sorry, also the vet shot them up with something called tetracycline and I treat Blackie with avicycline.

    Both eyes closed. Whitish liquid fluid pouring from one eye....

    My birds recently had this and as a novice chicken keeper it was extremely frightening, especially because one got lost with it's eyes swollen completely closed. Took the two girls to the vet and he said it was an avian respiratory infection and shot them up with antibiotics and sent me home...

    Blue Australorp breeder (on very small scale) all the way from Western Australia

    Yeah I would have loved to go to the royal show but I'm usually appalled by the entry fees and traffic jams. I've never really thought much about showing myself so I never thought of the disease aspect. One of my friends was super upset with me when I got poultry from the Harvey Auction even...
