Hi everyone, I am new here but I have viewed this site many times! On my "hobby farm" I raise Silkies; a variety of paint and cream and some undetermined colored chicks with more in the incubator. I also am going to raise Polish who are in the incubator at the moment of the white capped buff and candy corn color variety. I have Americanas of many colors; plain-jane ones and we have a blue splash rooster with copper named Rey. As of now to round it out, Peck, a fluke Pioneer breed chicken that is natrurly sweet and wants to be with you all the time. A few of my pet chickens have passed away due to sickness, disablities, being snatched up, or slautered by dogs. Ezparanza was a golden Ameracana with a back deformity and was sick every week for a while, when she got over that and was nearly full grown when my dog got out and slautered her along with Goldilocks, a golden laced Polish, and a black and white mottled Houdan who we never found a name for. My blind, splash Silkie, Hei Hei, who we found dead in the coop in the morning. Then there there was my beautiful splash Ameracana who went missing and was searched for, for days, we never found that chick or a trace of what happened. We never found the perfect name for her before she dissapeared, she was in the middle of being taught to sit on arms. As a chick she was wild, I soon took a mild interest in taming her down and she would soon come running to find you. Her sister that was dark on one side and light on the other also went missing without a trace. I also had my Milky who was a light brown with light grey Ameracana, she was blind. One day I went outside to see her and found her dead outside the coop. Then there was Cloud-jumper, a buff Polish who looked like Cloud-jumper from "How to Train Your Dragon 2" he died unexpectedly along with another buff Polish. Also my little Ameracana who never got a name. She was not a friendly chick but one day I went outside and she was covered in mud and chicken poop for rain had got into their small coop, she was gaurnteed to die but somehow pulled through. You couldn't hardly tell she was a chicken! She later became an incrediblly sweet chicken who unexpectedly goylt sick one day and died not long after, a week later, the chick I had been waiting for, for forever passed away. She was the chick of my favorite chicken who we had tried hatching eggs from many times but none developed. Then she came along, a wild acting chick, who hated people. Then a dog got out and atacked her and started coughing blood. I thought she'd be dead soon. She got better then the dog escaped and she got attacked again, she came down a leg infection and could hardly walk, we treated her with Tylan and she got better. While I was gone she didn't get let out and I thought she did, I went outside to lock them once I arrived but they were still locked up. I open the coop to check and the and she had sadly died. And to round out my missed chickens, Silkie, she was a blue Silkie who ride in my hoodie pocket until we got home to put her in the brooder. One of the chickens we got from a store came down with a respitory infection and she got infected and had to be culled. I miss all of my chickens and I have been rambling... Thanks for letting me join Backyard Chickens!!!!
