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...
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...
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.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the Hensavers saddles with Predator Eyes on them did not deter hawk attacks, so don't waste your money on this option. 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...
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...
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?
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...
