In the extreme heat this summer I put a fan in the coop for the silkies. they do alright in the winter. they get frostbite just like any chicken. you have to be careful about Ice and mud building up on the feet. if you plan on showing it will ruin the feet feathers. if not just keep an eye...
look what I found this morning
their daddy is Capone my cuckoo roo (avatar) out of a black hen. I'm hoping for some cuckoos.
here are some month old whites
they are going through an awkward phase
here are some of mine,
cuckoo pullet
cuckoo roo
I also have some splashes for sale, they are nice birds but I'm running out of space and I want to work on the cuckoos.
