It was incredibly easy to give her the liquid from a dropper! We gave her half a dose. She took it down like a trooper . . . she totally didn't care. I love this little bird!!
Oh, thank you SO much!! I am hoping she's fine, and this is just the way she is. She's not in any distress, no sign of any pain, and she's eating, so I'm not overly worried, it's just a nagging thought that she's different than the others. I have a deaf dog, so a disabled chicken would be par...
My Annabelle is 14 weeks, she's an Easter Egger. She's sort of clumsy . . . she sort of trips on her feet, and she sits back on her knees when she eats. She's the biggest of our birds, but the sweetest. She loves to be held . . . when we go to pick her up, she just sort of flops down. Is this...
We have two 12 week old chicks (we had three, but one chose to greet the morning with a cokadoodledoo, so he was re-homed). Today we got two 10 week old chicks to take his place. We have the two new girls in a cage in the pen. They can all see each other . . . how do we put them together? I was...
Margaret decided one morning that she is a he. We can't have roosters where we live, so I have to re-home him. I have raised him as a pet since he was one week old. He is now 11 weeks, and he's absolutely beautiful.
I'd like him to go to a safe home where he will be protected from predators...
Me again. Here is Margaret at 10 weeks. I heard something yesterday morning that sounded very un-ladylike.
Is Margaret a Mike??
I am not sure what breed she is. I was told she was a silkie, but she has a single comb, so she's not.
I emailed the feed store, and apparently, Julia is a white leghorn . . . they have no answer as to why she was sold as a BO. Now I have to go look up leghorn . . .
This is EXACTLY what my Julia looks like! I was told she was a BO (her baby color was similar to those in the background here). Is yours male or female?
Julia, age 8 weeks
None of my chickens were what the feed store said they were . . . I know she's not an orpington, buff or otherwise. My silkie's not a silkie, either. The Amaraucana is an EE, too. I asked the store why each bird wasn't as sold, and they made me feel stupid--like it doesn't matter. It really...
I got Julia at one week old. She was called a Buff Orpington--she was a beautiful golden color--now she's just plain ol' white. I won't lie, I love her, but I am sad she's just white.
Can you tell me if she is Julia--or Jake?? She is now 8 weeks in these pictures taken yesterday.
I...
My silkie mix is very petite compared to her "sisters." Ironically, though the smallest, Margaret has the beginnings of a single comb. Do you think she's more a Mike than a Margaret?? She is between 6 and 8 weeks.
I just realized it's a little sick that I have so many pictures of these birds!
She doesn't have the poofy head that the silkies have.
Do you think she's a she?
