    TSC impulse buy mystery

    I was in a hurry when I stopped by TSC for feed, but noticed there were some leftover 49 cent chicks in a tub marked Light Brahma. I didn’t get a good look at them; they were situated the farthest from the viewing area. I’ve thought about adding some Brahmas to my flock, so I told the gal who...

    How many BCM chicks can a Silkie & Serama keep warm?

    I bought 14 French Black Copper Marans eggs from eBay and put them in the 'bator. I've never gotten more than 50% hatch rate from shipped eggs, so my plan was to put the chicks under my two broodies, a Silkie and a Serama that are nesting together. These two have been a dynamic duo in the past...

    Serama pullets west TN

    I have three 11 wk old traditional Serama pullets. My pet hen hatched and raised only girls. Mom is charcoal gray with a white mottled head and dad has mostly the cuckoo pattern. The pullets look like they have dad's cuckoo pattern. I'm sorry, but I don't ship, so local pick up only.

The local red tail seemed to be only interested in the Silkies in my flock, so I outfitted them all with these saddles over a year ago. The...

    OK to have a couple of OEGB roos?

    My flock is free ranged in a 3/4 acre fenced backyard. I have 10 hens - Easter Eggers, Dominiques and Silkies. I also have 2 Silkie cockerels that battle occasionally. Two of my Silkie hens are broody right now, so I have been thinking about buying some OEGB eggs for them to hatch. I would love...

    Gender of Silkie/EE mix?

    I let my broody Silkie hatch a couple of eggs from an EE hen and Silkie rooster. They are 3 mos. old. I was pretty sure they were both cockerels and was going to rehome them, but an acquaintance who used to raise chickens told me that the solid grey is a pullet. Is he correct?

    Attention, zombie fans!

    I decorate my yard with a mostly zombie theme every Halloween. I found something fun - a zombie chicken! Lol, my flock thinks it's scary; they make a wide berth around it when they walk by. I had to toss some mealworms around it to entice the chix to get closer. They couldn't resist, but they...
