W/ Welsummers the darker eyeliner are females & lighter eyeliner are males and partridge female Silkies are usually darker pattern stripes than males but I don't know about OEGB.

It takes patience and perseverance to train. The whole time we had the chicks inside all they wanted to do was jump thru the sliding door especially since there were chickens outside too. But once we opened the door to let them explore they balked at the threshold and wouldn't go out. We...

Be prepared to see big fuzzy slippers on Silkies. They trip over their own feet when they walk!

There are so many kinds of mulberry trees. Our farm neighbor had a huge mulberry tree that they used as a cool patio to sit under the huge draping boughs & the berries were delicious hanging like little jewels from the branches! Use magnifiers to see this old pic :lau! Wish the old Brownies...

Your property pics are always beautiful & w/ chickens looking so happy!

Chickens learn smarter & quicker than people give them credit!

Watermelon is always a hit 0n hot days! DANA & VIOLET (2021)

TY :D Likewise I enjoy everyone's sagas on here :love Our 13+year saga will continue in individual posts from 2011 to present day as you may have noticed already. Sadly our current 6 girls will be our last. Don't want them to outlive me & saddle DH alone w/them. When the last one remains...

Wyan for short (like Ryan) :D Something will eventually work out for him I'm sure -- you sure gave us fun naming him! We came up with 3 Asian names for our 3 newest Silkies before picking up the chicks from Buckaboo Farm but decided one would be named after two dear relatives instead. The...

Once we re-homed our feather-picking heavy Cuckoo Marans bully "Tish" IN 2012 then all the feathers grew back on Silkies by 2013. VIOLET MINI Meanwhile BELA (Bay-lah) grew a proper Leghorn comb!

My BYC friend (we connected w/ each other many years ago) no longer keeps chickens :( but keeps me informed on two cats and two dogs, one being an adorable shi tzu 4 years old. :) It seems they are happy dogs w/ calm temperaments. My friend has him groomed monthly -- quite costly but worth it.

Not sure what your access is to calling a veterinarian in your area or consulting with one online to recommend what dosage for your doggie's weight. Magnesium is one of those substances good for heart function, absorption of calcium, calming nerves & calming pain, & a whole lots more. We have...

And Wyandotte has all the letters needed to spell Wayne :D

Yes, and in terms of treating a dog -- I was thinking magnesium powder mixed into dog food -- better than soaking a dog in Epsom salts :D ?

DH & I have arthritis, bursitis, rheumatoid, hip aches sleeping, restless leg, I also have scoliosis, slipped lumbar disk, a bum leg, & currently a broken arm. A bevy of old age symptoms so we take magnesium to lessen pain right before bed. Some people drink a calcium/magnesium mix but I'm...
