I have two banties that I was told were seramas when I bought them but now I'm not so sure. First they seem like their legs are too long. Second, I'm not seeing the vertical wings/tail. Both have a super sweet disposition. They're both about 5 months old and siblings (I assume, they came...

I think that this is a silkie Roo. It followed my hubby home today. Poor thing's so scraggly how can you not want to help him(?) out?

Recently, my husband brought me home a serama hen he found at an auction. She's wearing a green plastic legband and I've been trying to find out what the code means. My research keeps pointing me towards the National Pigeon Association. Here's the numbers... NPA 11 07 TD 727. Any ideas...

I Thought this was so cute I had to share. This is my bantam hen, Pixie, trying to hatch a chunk of multi-grain bread. She hilarious to watch as she rearranges the shavings and turns her "egg". She even tries to hatch the eggs that her buddy lays. She just adds those in with her bread.

This might seem silly, but how do you know if an egg is frozen? We've had a few really cold nights lately. Cold enough for the water to get a skim of ice on it. Since most of my birds lay really early in the morning I was concerned about the eggs freezing before I can get to them. Also, If...

I like to know for certain if this is a bird is a hen or a rooster. She (?) was bought in early april at a local feed store as an auracana pullet. That said, I realize she's probably an Easter Egger. (We we're after colored eggs and not breed anyway.) I keep comparing her to pictures of hens...
