In keeping up with tradition, the little silkies came out to watch tv with us last night.
Just like the bigs guys did last spring...
They poop way too much for too much time on the bamboo floors.
Bobcat sightings on westside of Evansville.
oh my, poor hen! She is a keeper for sure, and deserves mealies, nightcrawlers and yogurt!
My cornish cross hen lays a HUGE DY egg too. Yep meat birds can lay!
LilX is one of my best layers.
I picked up a few chicks, from Brad S., about a month ago and I am finally uploading a few photos. So far, what a great group of birds!
The Silkie is about 6 weeks
Any thoughts on the coloration or gender? He's definitely getting a few odd colored stragglers coming in. I know nothing about coloration or Blue genetics.
The next two are Birchen Marans and about 7 weeks old.
Sorry for the blurriness and Roo???
If you can zoom in at all, there are white marks on his head feathers.
Are those copper flecks in the back feathers?
Omg, I didn't realize this breed was so gorgeous!
Pullet?
Last but not least, the Swedish Flower Hen. Eh hem, HE's about 9 weeks old...
The SFH and BM always do the dance, when I put them in the yard. So they scream Roos, unless it's normal pecking order behavior.
they look about the same as mine as far as the feathering. I'll let you know in the next say or two if I'd like for you to hold back eggs. I'm trying to just get some pullets/hens but not having much luck.
i will definitely let you know. I do have some in the incubator but I believe they are partridge eggs. If I can't locate a couple pullets/hens then I'll be getting some more eggs.
I was wondering the same thing. I am on here a lot and for the last week or so things have been so slow. I like when it takes me 2 hours to catch up on all the threads.What happened to Indiana? Where is everyone hiding?
