Whatever it is, it’s very chatty! Always has something to say. No crowing though. Just lots of little “honks”. My roo is the strong silent type 😂

I don’t either, and I know it’s early but this one looks so different than my roo, I thought I’d check! Gonna keep it either way, so long as they all get along, but I’m hoping for a lil girl since I have no silkie pullets!

Hi there! I adopted this buff silkie that is 3-4 months old. Just wondering if anyone has a guess as to gender? Thanks!

Hi! They ended up solid black and looked very similar to Australorps. All three were very high strung and flighty though, and the rooster was a mean mean bird but a great protector. I added more birds to my flock and the two girls were just mean...tried everything to get them to quit, but after...

Hi there, I have a standard Cochin hen that has presented with labored breathing. I took her to the vet, whi told me to administer 40mg of tetracycline for 4 days. I was able to pick up 250mg capsules from Tractor Supply, and cut and measured for the 40mg dose. The trouble I am having...

Oh, I am! She spends her evenings curled up on my lap. She is a spoiled little girl!

Thank you for the reassurance! She seems to have sprouted more feathers by the time I got home yesterday of course lol! I was worried she was a runt and I know they typically don't make it to adulthood. I've wanted a cochin for so many years, I'm paranoid over every little thing she does. She...

I had my first batch of chicks arrive from Meyer on the 30th of April. I ended up losing my jubilee orp and my blue cochin, unfortunately...however Meyer made it right and while I wasn't able to secure another jubilee, I was able to get another standard blue cochin at the last moment the...

How's your babies?! I had an order of 18, combined with 2 co-workers. All 18 are healthy and happy thus far! I'm very much in love with my little blue cochin!

I will be doing the same! I just got notification that the tracking updated, and they are 45 minutes away. I called the post office and they said the chicks will be on the 1:00pm truck! Wasn't expecting that at all! I have nutridrench and electrolytes ready. I'll be using the same brooder I...

Crossing my fingers for you that they arrive today! I'm in northern Wisconsin so mine have a bit further to go. Currently it says they'll arrive tomorrow by 3pm. I did call the post office and the lady there has chickens herself, so she will be watching for them and said she'll call the minute...

It appears mine are still in Cleveland. Hoping the postal system is just being slow about updating!

I just noticed my shipping label was created! No tracking info yet, but I'm SO excited. This is my first time ordering through the mail, so I'm a little nervous, too. I have a blue cochin, a blue splash marans, a golden cuckoo marans, and a jubilee orpington showing up between tomorrow and...

How exciting! Mine are due to arrive on between tomorrow and Thursday. I placed my order back in December and the waiting game has been tough! I ordered a blue splash marans, golden cuckoo marans, blue cochin, and a jubilee orpington. The jubilee was my birthday present to myself as well! :)

USPS is notorious for not updating their tracking info. It is going to kill me come April when mine ship!

How exciting! Let me tell you, it's taking a LOT of effort for me to not buy an incubator. Hatching sounds like a lot of fun! I'll be looking here for updates. :)

Hello and welcome! Sounds like you fell victim to 'chicken math' just like the rest of us! :)

Fingers crossed for their safe delivery!

With no snark intended, I ask...do you know what GMO means? I assure you, I do not have a laboratory attached to my coop, engineering roosters that are incapable of eating calcium. Oyster shell is literally just that...oyster shell. Nothing GMO about it. A hen requires calcium to meet the demand...

Humans are not chickens. Our body systems function differently and our nutritional needs are different than than of a chicken. It is a fact that excess calcium consumption causes kidney damage. Usually, roosters who have been fed layer feed with last a couple years...but eventually it will catch...
