Pretty dinosaur! Is is Blue-Laced Red?
Joe - The tail on the bantam lite brown leghorn rooster is awesome. Pretty, pretty, pretty. I'll be looking for hatching eggs in the spring (LF), mostly New Hampshire Reds and other big birds. Keep me in mind. See you Friday at the Stilwell sale.

The other night after I'd posted to MJ that the Silver Lace Cochin pair I got from her were both doing great I noticed the male with that gurgling sound! I brought them both in that night and started them on Tylan 50, I've got Duramycin in their water also. There's 6 Sex Link hens out there with them and every one of those hens is just fine, so I don't get it. These 2 won't go in their building unless it's nighttime, rain or not. That last time it rained in the day time I went out there (like I always do with those 2) and put them in the building. I don't know why they don't go in it out of the rain if it's day time. But it wasn't too much longer after that I noticed the gurgling. Did yours get wet then cold? I always thought respiratory infections came from a virus that was contagious. I just recently read several articles about chickens becoming wet and then getting cold and developing respiratory problems. That was news to me.
Kass! Glad you're ok! I worked years at a vet clinic and never met a dog who didn't bow down to me. I seem to have that effect on dogs. I'm not afraid of them or can read them or something. I can certainly read them far better than I can humans. I'm at a loss when it comes to reading humans.
A few of my cochins INSIST on roosting on top of the coop. On rainy or cold nights I put them inside. Last night there were all 4 partridge girls on their coop and Karl, the Mille Fleur on his. I put them all in side but Karl and 2 of the partridges came back out and got up on the coop roofs again, in the dark!

My best Mille Fleur pullet was gasping the other morning. She wasn't gurguling but "yawning" and she wasn't as active as usual. I put her in a cage in the garage and put Vetrx on her comb, nose and ect. She seems fine since. I thought she wasn't eating so I gave her yogurt with honey and oatmeal. I also brought in a "sister" to keep her company. So far I think she will be fine w/o and antibiotics.

No, the closest i could get would be a blue spangled pumpkin. She is half hyderabad asil, they can and will come in any and all color combinations, with no rhyme or reason to how they come out. She will be ran with the guy this coming year.

None of my birds sleep in the coop either. Until a few weeks ago, three of my original hens (two red sex links and a Minorca) slept on top of the grill on the back porch. Two of them now sleep on the chimney ledge up against the house, I assume because it's warmer there. The other three (red sex link, RIR and Welsummer (I think)) all sleep on top of the fence. I do the same thing you do. When it's cold or rainy I go out and put them in a coop. They have two coops to choose from but only use them for laying eggs. Goofy girls.
The Seramas are indoor birds but they don't roost up high. They prefer to snuggle up in the hay out in the garage.
