    Are these Dutch bantams?

    Thank you both! I didn't think they were dutch because they don't have ear lobes, but couldn't find any pictures of lavender OEGB!

    Are these Dutch bantams?

    They are about 8 weeks old. The female is very friendly. They are tiny too. Easlily fit in my hand. Kind of hard to see, but their legs are grey, thin and non feathered.

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thanks! I did wet the area around the pip and still nothing happened as of 3 am. I zipped a bit for the chick and she popped out at around 5 am! She's seems nice and healthy and is snoozing away now! She definitely thinks I'm mama as she wants to sit in my hand with my fingers cupped over...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Maybe you guys can help me! I had two silkies go broody and gave each some eggs. Two hatched four days ago. Two more were pipped but didn't go any further and died. That hen then stopped sitting of the eggs and kept scattering the rest of the eggs around her pen. So I gathered those seven...

    Nine-month-old Silkie still hasn't laid an egg. Is that normal?

    I've been wondering the same thing! I have 6 silkie hens that will be 1 year at the end of April and I've still not gotten one single egg from them! I know they mature slower then other breeds but this slow??

    Quote: I tried to get my girls and boys to use a wading pool but they wanted nothing to do with it. I even put dirt and then water in it. I've taken to just letting the hose flood an area next to their coop in the shade, and they love that! They wade in it, find all sorts of bugs and things...

    Poop management

    I've only got one dog, but I refuse to step in dog poo. I just scoop it up and dump it into the vacant field next to our yard. I've been really good at it. Good enough that if my 2 year old see's the dog poo he'll run and get the scoop, bring it to me, and show me where the ewwww is! lol I...

    Quote: Oh no! I'm so sorry! I'm scared to death for my birds since all I have is silkies. I've been putting frozen juice bottles in their coop and giving them frozen melon everyday when it's hottest. So far so good...but it sure is scarey! We've got a big church picnic with fireworks...

    Silkie thread!

    Quote: How old are they now? I had one white chick born with yellowish legs and toes. In three days, they were completely black. It has black skin all over, so I'd like to know about this too. Most of mine (from a hatchery, so you never know) had yellow toes also, but by the time they were 5...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    well, my garden is pretty much done in. The grasshoppers have eaten most of my bean plants. Couldn't keep the pea's very long since it got so hot so fast. Beets didn't grow to great either in this heat. At least I got one meal out of them though! My cucumbers and squash are still going...
