Well , if you live in Fairbanks, Alaska, the cost of keeping chickens can cost quite a bit. Feed runs $22.99 for Nutrena in the local feed store, scratch blend $15.99, straw $13.99 per bale, this doesn't include any housing which is definitely more than $50 or electricity which is crazy high up...

Hi there Thanks for the information. I've only seen it happen in silkies. The hen seems to have gotten a bit better and originally she didn't have it and neither did this other bird. He is a silkiexcochin I think. Just this week I've noticed him with it. He is eating and drinking but when...

It seems I have read somewhere that Silkies are more prone to this thing where they have a neck problem and can turn their heads upside down. I have 2 different birds that are doing this right now. One is not a full silkie but a silkie mix and the other is full silkie, both just happen to be...

This is only part of the flock it doesn't include the geese and ducks.

Here is a newbie, Houdan cross, but has such beautiful features already. Just hatched this weekend, 10/5/13. I can't wait to watch it grow.

Wow, way cool

I have been trying to figure out what kind of comb this feathered legged, splash gray and white rooster has. I think this is what it is. What does a typical buttercup combed chicken look like? I'm pretty sure he came in a random batch that I got from a hatchery.

I'm in Fairbanks Alaska and winter decided to arrive on the 18th of Sept. We have already had snow. Since my white frizzle was molting so bad I brought her and her buddy in the house to make sure they were warm enough. She gets right under the black hen to keep warm just like a chick would...

yeah, mine is too, although I've ready that if they are too much of a frizzle that they become considered a curly and it's harder for them to keep warm. I feel so bad, mine is about bald.

This is what she is suppose to look like and poor thing, this is what she looks like right now. She is saying, "Do you really want to take a picture of me looking like this? It's so embarrassing!"

Oh Honey, do I have some pictures for you. I have one that looks about that bad. I feel so bad for her that I brought her into the house to keep her warmer with her friend. I will submit pictures tomorrow. I need to make her a fleece coat. I'm really bummed because in Fairbanks, AK we...

very pretty

very nice. They look great. I get a great variety

I felt extremely lucky to get Sebastapol geese from them this year. I ordered 4 at $71 each, one is deformed but they gave me a full refund for her and she is doing very well and the other geese look lovely. I kind of wondered why they would send a deformed billed animal to me but I'm glad...

I have several roosters and it's always interesting to see them interact with one another. They can be down right brutal. Even in the hen house yard there is an order and the geese dominate the chickens, roosters and duck and keep order. They will go right after a rooster if they feel it's...

yep that is so true and when you start incubating your own, it gets worse.
