    Free 2yo SLW Hen Fresno Central California

    Free egg-laying hen. "Tammy 3" is a silver laced Wyandotte (hatchery) and is 2 years old. she lays 3-4 eggs per week, but full disclosure they are a bit odd looking, rather bullet shaped and the ends are sometimes wrinkled. She is NOT good with other hens that she perceives as 'weak', which is...

    Need help identifying breeds

    2x on the silkie, I think the first one might be a golden laced polish, and the splash one may be a silkie mix, possibly silkie x easter egger or americana. I'm still new to chickens, so it's all a guess, either way they are a neat looking flock!

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Hi guys, I'm getting the brooder set up for my 4 chicks that will arrive this week, it's my first time raising chicks without a Broody hen, so I'd love feedback on the set up :) I didn't have any of those long screw thingys, so the heating pad, rack and towel are wired to the top and back of...

    California - Northern

    2x, also it's a good idea to be able to tell a cockeral from a pullet, every once in a while a disreputable craigslist seller will sell them as pullets... I'm starting to get excited about this years batch of chicks, for the frist time I've ordered online (MPC) and have 2 Blue Americanas (sp?)...

    do silkies make good adition to a flock

    You're welcome! a few in a small coop should be fine, just make sure they have a lot of coverage when it rains, their feathers don't repel water like normal chicken feather do, so they can get soaked! I'm hoping to keep some silkies myself, they're just so irresistible (I've got to wait until...

    do silkies make good adition to a flock

    Silkies are a wonderful breed, but from what I've read you probably shouldn't keep them with standard size birds (especially the Rhode Island Reds, they can be aggressive ) they do better with other bantams or chicks that they were raised with. They're so sweet that they'll get picked on by...

    ID'ing Mixed breed chicks (possibly BSL) Newbie with lots of questions!

    Thanks :) Oh, neat! I guess she'll look a lot like her 'Aunt' Olive (She's a Jersey Giant from the flock Shelly's egg came from) they have the same iridescent black feathers and lovely dark eyes.

    ID'ing Mixed breed chicks (possibly BSL) Newbie with lots of questions!

    Update: y'all were right Shelly is a little pullet, she's still nice but more skittish and I just noticed that 2 of her feathers are white tipped! not a color I expected to see on her! could this be her welsummer genes? or some recessive white gene?

    7 week old BSL Cockerel - very friendly - Fresno California (Central)

    Thanks, now that he's past the awkward stage he's getting rather handsome, his tail feathers are getting a great iridescent sheen (why do roosters have to be so darn good looking!) BSL = Black Sex-Link (unless I messed that abbreviation up, a definite possibility) it's not a pure breed, but...
