Thank you. My silkies seem to stay pretty clean. I'm so glad because I don't have time for 18 baths on a regular basis. I think it is the combination of shavings in the coop and course sand in the run. They only free range supervised due to hawks, so I guess I don't give them much opportunity to get very dirty. She really loved the mirror. She is currently wandering around the living room, she got bored with herself finally. lol

Of course picking the highest side above our walkout basement. .it's got to be over 30ft high! Makes me queasy! Not a fan of heights!

I'm still waiting but for now all either have done is a honk followed by a small yowl. Lol not sure how else to describe it! Lol. But it's not that loud. They stay pretty close and I rarely hear it.

Quote: From top left to bottom right, I see probable girls, girl, probable girl, boy, girl. If the two probable girls have well defined stripes around their eyes, they are definitely girls. On boys, all stripes are very indistinct.

The two bresse you will probably be able to sex around 3 weeks. The males crests tend to grow larger pretty quickly, but if you have two boys or two girls it may not be as obvious

Okay, for all you silkie lovers. I just read the funniest thing. When asked, "What kind of animal is that?" One silkie owner replies, "Asian ground parrots." I might just get some silkies so I can say that.

That is great! For actually being a chicken, silkies are about the farthest thing from acting like one. They are the Shihtzus of the chicken species.

Ok I have a issue I'm hoping someone can lend a knowledgeable helping hand!! My small Egyptian fayoumi pullet has a very swollen foot! I started looking it over trying to find a place as described for bumblefoot but can't! The swelling is moving up her leg. I feel sooo bad because it's obviously been going on awhile. . She lost some toenails on that foot the end of the cold weather and her limping I associated with that. It is warm to the touch so I know it's infected but I can't get myself to lance it! I'm a very shaky person DH gives the vaccine shots while I *try* to hold them still because my shaking is so bad... but I know he will not go for what I think needs done.

Recommendations? Please advise. ..thoughts? I will try to get pics too.
