I don't have a pic on my phone but I ended up with a smooth silkie with a black poofy head partridge feathers and a giant ( bigger than my silkies) bbred, smooth, 5 toes stubby tail. Two white silkie, slightly smaller than mom. Not something I would do again. Silkie mom's, bbred dad
My drake had a shrivelled nasty bit dangling from the end for a couple of weeks late spring. I put some salve (homemade with a bunch of herbals) on it every couple of days. He's back to normal and brutalizing the girls again.
I find my girl lays particularly hard shells. They can break through so I have to keep a very close watch and external pip for them, then break them out the next day. I've had near perfect hatch rate since doing this.
Hi There. I have some bantams as pets. I started out as a duck person, with runners in the yard and one drake in the house. Then I got a house silkie. My first backyard chicken I found on the side of the road, feather less, sunburned and terrified. The poor dear had fallen off a truck on her...
I was wondering the same thing? I have a Dutch bantam that normally lays quite large eggs, but since my little serama/mille roo has been getting busy with her, her fertile eggs are half the size?
