Thanks tesumph! Ya know, helping animals has its rewards. Each has its own unique personality. We drove 200 miles yesterday to meet Tink's new owner. Before we left, Tink ate some cottage cheese, then she slept in my wife's lap during the whole trip. What an interesting little fuzz-ball. It was...

Hi, I joined this forum mainly to find a home for a little Splash Silkie hen that we rescued from a bad situation. We live on a few acres in Southeast Iowa. Our neighbor, a business man who loves all animals thought it would be fun to add a Splash Silkie hen to his chicken coop. One day, I...
