I did too...I have new ones from Paul smith growing out but still...I could get him back....anybody got a FREE Easter Egger roo at breeding age?

Mine aren't at breeding age yet, but they are screaming up on it. They're 14 weeks old. All have ameraucana mothers. You are welcome to any of them.

have not been around much lately. Hope everyone is doing well.

I just lost my EE rooster and am looking for an Ameraucana cockerel to go with the girls. I would like a white one and I think someone on this thread had some? If you do or know of someone in the E. TN area that does please let me know. I am not in a big hurry but would like to get one. Thanks

ETA: would also consider: Silver, Blue or Splash.

My little silkie/houdan baby seems to have a slipped tendon. If anyone knows anything about treating this please let me know. So far I've seen that I should give her Poly Vi Sol no iron and put her in a cup and hold a treat above her to get her to exercise and use her legs but I've also seen some people talk about using a splint. Anyone have any experience with this?

I have never had one with a tendon issue recover so I will be no help. sorry.

I've also read that it could be perosis

I read that wrong, I'm sorry. I didn't read the word "recover"....how's that for denial?? Did they die or were they just disabled? I assumed if she doesn't learn to walk I could keep her indoors and baby her her entire life. I've already printed out chicken diaper patterns.

Got me a rooster today. He is a pretty one. The kids have named him Rex. Also got another that may be a girl or boy, time will tell. They've named it Twinkle.

I read that wrong, I'm sorry.  I didn't read the word "recover"....how's that for denial??  Did they die or were they just disabled?  I assumed if she doesn't learn to walk I could keep her indoors and baby her her entire life.  I've already printed out chicken diaper patterns. 

I have had them just die because they can't eat or drink but some I put down. I have too many chickens to hand feed one for life and I use mine for breeding and I don't want to breed that defect forward. sorry.
