She just lifted her head, then went to sleep again haha! She was just scratching a spot for herself on the couch, gotta be comfy!
What a great little building! I love your silkie cross. Very pretty coloring!I'm really happy to help pass along the message of fire safety
So many people helped us out with donations and we were able to purcahse a baby barn and have it custom built. The colour is more mustard than the images show. Almost looks beige on my screen... anyway...
Pop door. It's floor level. Ah well.
One window in the back.
Being introduced to their new area.
Hope the frizzled silkie. I am thinking she is fathered by George Jr - my 1st generation sizzle. She has no beard and very little foot feathers.. but she has 5 toes. Her grandmother was a buff laced polish who was unbearded. That's the only explanation I can come up with as to why she is not bearded.
She'll make a good broody. Her mother was extreme. I mean EXTREME. Way more than your average silkie. Maybe the polish grandmother will help her not be extreme but enough to satisfy my broody love.
She has a vaulted skull. Still feathering out @ 7 weeks. She may look much better in a couple of weeks.
Doc (blue silkie I showed earlier) looks much better at 10 weeks. Wait.. Now she/he's 11 weeks.
Silkie X girl. I just love her. I think she has some barred rock in there. At least that's what Kev said. She was barred @ 3 weeks, but it's so vague now. Must only be fathered by a male with 1 copy.
Either way her grandfather is Jagger. Which means so much. He was my favourite rooster (tied with Steve of course).
I have observed this behavior also. I also once saw the roo protecting an egg that was laid in middle of the pen.I think it's sooooo adorable to see the cockerel show the pullets how to lay on eggs, and try to get them in a nest box, cooing. He want's babies so much! He doesn't quite have the mating part down yet. They just look at him on the nest, and resume what they were doing. Makes me smile every time I see it.
That was probably me. Hope you get some further input.
By-the-way, I wasn't hurt at all.
How old are our chicks ? Sometimes it takes weeks for major improvement. My last one was young.. only 3 weeks I think when she developed wry neck. It looked awful but she was always able to eat and drink on her own. Every time I was would approach she would go into the tucked head odd walk thing. This pretty much happened for the whole two weeks and suddenly she was like normal. It didnt ever happen again. I think she may have been bonked on the head by a bigger chick ? I left mine with some mild mannered chicks so she wasnt stressed by being alone.
