    This approx 6 week old pullet, I'm saying its a pullet cause I think she is, came from my 3 year silver partridge project. She was born with the correct color & markings. I just want a confirmation that she is indeed a silver partridge...I finally think, I also have a couple of boys....I've been...

    I have sprouted plain oat seeds you buy at a mill successfully. The chickens loved them. Its just kinda a chore for me to do it in the winter when they could use it most. My local mill has fish meal at $65 for 88 lbs. I use just a little bit when I mix up feed. Its 60% protein so goes a long...

    I'm still looking for a silver partridge or grey cockerel or rooster. I am beginning to wonder how the greys got approved, because no one seems to have any boys! LOL I am going to the NEPC next week. Or, I will accept shipping....

    I have 6 silver partridge girls, no boys. The only roos I have are black, white & partridge. I have them in with the black roo now, what can I expect? I can't seem to find a silver partridge rooster anywhere.....

    I buy the walmart brand normal acv, works fine. What I like is that is makes the poops more normally solid and gives a little disinfecting action.

    I have a silkie that looks exactly like the second from the top. I only had 2 roosters in separate pens. One had a grey partridge hen with a black roo, the other was a partridge hen with a split gold/silver partridge roo. I can't figure out which one it came from. It has a silvery neck/hackle...

    In New York state, NPIP only tests for Pullorum. Some states also test for Avian Flu, but I don't think any test for Mycoplasma.

    I hadn't read your originnal post before I posted mine. You said what I was trying to say much better! Interesting about the female "calico".. Thanks for making that clear!

    I'm not genetic whiz, but since hens have only 1 color gene, is it even possible to produce a "Calico" girl? Just asking.....LOL It looks to me that this "C alico" color is really just a bad colored silver partridge or birchen with red leakage or autosomal red. I have a "Silver Partridge"...

    Does she do it after eating? Sometimes mine make that sound after eating mash, I think they try to swallow or it goes down funny & they are trying to dislodge it. Or just the dust...its a guess.

    My large fowl all have bucket waterers with nipples in the bottom that I hang up & they peck at the nipples for the water. I'm not sure the Silkies would be able to find them, or I would use them instead. But their water will stay even cleaner with the pop bottle types I think. Thanks for the...
