I don't breed them but I have a pullet I got from a guy here on BYC who sells chicks and hatching eggs. He's not local but he does ship. She's a really nice bird, wish I had more like her but the hatching eggs I got (despite being well packed) arrived quite, er, scrambled, so she was the only...

Oh my gosh. I LOVE the color!

If you can't find anyone else and are willing to drive them up here to where I am (Placerville, about 40 minutes from Sacramento), I could take them. The only other ducks I have are two Muscovies and I've found myself enjoying them greatly.

Only the one and I'm only selling her in a pair with the male she hatched with. That said I do hope to have some sex-linked female Silkie chicks available in the next few months. Or whenever my dang breeders feel like laying, anyways.

Anyone here who is looking for some Silkie or Sizzle cockerels? I'm full up with them right now. Two Cuckoo Silkie cockerels, two flat Sizzle cockerels, one very ugly yet cute hatchery quality Silkie cockerel. I've also got two Silkie youngsters that are mixed buff/blue color and I am 80% sure...

It was awesome to meet you by the way!

Darn! Yeah I didn't have any of my Supernatural stuff this year, went with the chicken shirt instead. Maybe next year!

RE: the meetup at the Modesto show. I'm here now! I managed to get a nice table in the corner by the entrance of the cafeteria... I've put a little placard up that says "BYC Meetup"! I'll be wearing my QueenMisha name tag.

So I just made a thread for the PPBA show in February because I'm already crazy excited for it and just couldn't wait any longer. Anyone else who is going to be attending or is interested in the show please join in over there...

Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know.

I'll be there! Mostly spectating and buying things but I may be bringing a few Silkies and my girlfriend wants to bring her Bantam RIR cock. The website hasn't updated either. Last year it looks like it was updated and entry forms posted in the first couple weeks of December so hopefully...

Is she a recent addition to the flock? Did all the birds come from the same place? Have you recently added any birds at all? I would not segregate or treat her (unless she's new in which case new birds should always be quarantined away from the flock for 3-4 weeks before introduction). I would...

My first incubator was a Mini Advance. Still have it and still love it. I've also got a Mini Eco and a very old Octagon DX that was a thrift store find and still gives me 70%+/- hatch rates. Couldn't have enough positive things to say about the brand, and the Mini Advance is still my favorite of...

Welcome! You must be just up the hill from me. :)

Those appear to be White Rocks.

As everyone above said, starter/grower. Should be anywhere from 18-22% protein and about 1% calcium. Personally I do medicated starter (with Amprolium to prevent cocci) until 8-10 weeks and non medicated grower for another 8-10 after that, but different folks have different opinions about...

Anyone else getting hit really hard by this storm? My main coop keeps flooding and I've been out there all day digging trenches and hanging tarps. Sadly still lost three of my youngest - they were eight weeks but they were the runts of my last hatch of the season and they were apparently getting...

I've got one of Chooklet's birds! Well, had. She got sent to my best friend because she was best buddies with a special needs roo I gave to her. And yeah, her Banty Cochins are awesome and super cute - I'd totally recommend her as a breeder.

I'm so sorry for both of your losses. Culling a chick is the absolute worst thing in the world. My first ever cull was also a crossbeak chick... only five days old. Good luck with your other chicks! Fingers crossed you have lots of pullets.
