Here is one of my 5 nine week sizzles. Three are cockerels and this one has major character, what color is this guy? A Crele? I so want to keep him but I think I will probably give him away to someone around me that would like him. I have at least 4 cockerels. I also have a partridge 4 week old...
I'm not sure the age and sex of this little one. A nice lady gave him/her to me because she raises silkies and was sure he is a cockerel but I read so many stories on here about a silkie being mis-sexed....I know I probably need to wait until a crow or squatting but curious about what you all...
Update. Texted the breeder and she said it is a sizzle hen that laid these. She is 1/2 silkie 1/2 bantam cochin and the rooster is bantam cochin. She was really cool about it and told me before the hen was a sizzle but I just thought that meant she had the special feathers and any breed could be...
I just love you all! So informative. I am actually a veterinarian (Doctor of Vet Med) who had to learn everything about chickens in vet school (diseases, husbandry, etc.) but know nothing about breeds, common every day issues, and really didn't have the brain power to focus on yet another...
.?? I am new to this and just thought they are at an awkward stage with their "crests." Are you telling me these are mixes??? Which I'm fine with but very curious since the breeder I got them from is awesome and I don't want to offend her by questioning her.

POULTRY SHOW: HEADS UP FOR ALL YOU POULTRY OBSESSERS, I was just told that there is a little poultry show on valentines (tomorrow) at the Clark County fairgrounds (20 min north of Portland off I-5 in Ridgefield/Vancouver WA). It is apparently ran by 4-H and there is even an auction. I don't need...
Ha! my husband just bought a brush hog and loves it! It chops things up nicely...especially 5 acres of blackberries. We thought about goats (which I love) but they would need so much attention like my dogs AND we have rhododendrons (over 40) on our property and only a couple leaves are toxic...
