I had received some special chickens from my granddaughter.Tend to be exact. I have been learning this backyard, chicken stuff the hard way.I'm lucky that a few people have shared some very good tips.
I took some pictures to do a search on google, to find out exactly what kind of babies I have, and it has led me to your webpage.
I live in Houston, Texas, and I've recently retired a few years ago. For medical reasons. I wanted the backyard chickens for clean protein eggs. It really is a lot of work, but I find it enjoyable and rewarding for all of the knowledge that I am getting.
Anyway, I would like to share a few of my pictures. I ended up with seven roosters, and that became a nightmare for my three little hens. So we are down to 1 rooster, i named him friszle because he is like one of those little fireworks called a frizzle, that just shoots across the ground, really fast, small and frizzy, he is so funny always needing assistance to get up on the roost with the other chickens. And I was constantly having to get him out of trouble with the other roosters and chickens. As the other roosters got bigger
And I realizing, I could not have that many rooster I dwindle them dow to him. My granddaughter decided she wanted to buy an incubator and hatch some eggs, so I gave her 12.eggs. then I got nine juvenile chickens when she saw how much work it was. I gave her twelve more eggs, and she has hatched ten more babies. Pretty soon I will be needing to get rid of my silky male, because I don't want him breeding with his babies. But in the meantime, I will love to learn more about silkies.
