how do you guys get such beautiful pictures???? Awesome
good to know cause that is what I am going to try and do with my 2 boys.
Agreed!!
i dont, but am just wondering whats the difference between partridge and splash and paint silkies?
Paint is white with black spots, splash is blue with darker blue spots/streaks and partridge have a gold breast and neck feathers and the back half is blue or a "dingy" looking black. Some have more gold than others. It's easier to see a pic than describe it.
I don't put roos together at all. When they are young they seem to get along till any girls in the juvie pen get old enough for breeding. I have had pullets get broken backs because the boys would take turns with the girls till they broke them. When I see the boys are getting frisky they are removed and separated and I just leave 1 boy in with the girls till they start to lay. Then I put them in the pen they are to go in. I also quarantine birds I get from somebody else. While they are in quarantine I go ahead and treat them for worms. After quarantine they get baths to remove any bugs they may have before they go in the pen I got them for.Here are my three Roos! They are 8 months old. I knew they're not show quality but they're the best pets I could ask for. I'm going to get a 7 month old black Silike hen to add to the group( I only have one other hen). What are something's I should do when getting a new adult bird to add into a flock? Let me know what you guys think about the Roos and about adding a new member! Thanks
