Karen, I also think your EE is a girl.

 

[the-bird-man]

So my neighbor came over to see the babies, and he said that my favorite EE looks like a Roo.

Please say it isn't so. I actually bought this one as a sexed Pullet at 5 days old. He said with her brown I think he called them Saddle feathers come in on her wings dubs her a Roo. He did tell me to keep him, and that he would not tell on me. Please someone tell me he is so very wrong. She is 8 1/2 Weeks Old. These are photos from last night that I took of them. If needed I can go get some in the direct sunlight.

normally a ee with a ton of rust would be a boy but yours does not have too much and she still looks very girly to me. how does her comb look? if you start seeing what looks like 3 rows of peas then that is what a roo would have. also they say with slate legs they are more likely to lay a blue egg

Sundance, I have a broody or two, if you want me to try sticking those chicks under them. I'm not sure if they will accept them, but we could try?? And I love Razzle. I'm glad she is staying with you. She was such a sweet kitty when I was there.

Okay, Karen, here's a pic of one of our EE's when she was younger. Just for comparison

She did have some dull rust that came in along parts of her at one point, and now she has some buff color on her back that is slightly rusty. But notice the stance and shape of her, and how her feathers look. And she gives the most beautiful green eggs now!

Does anyone want a white silky Rooster? He is protective of his girls, good with young chicks and one of the best roosters I have seen in awhile. Always makes sure the girls eat first and shows them how to scratch outside. Free to anyone on here.



Also have the blue wheaten trio and the Black Copper Maran and the Silver laced wyandotte I will sell all 5 together for 50.00. They are a good group and get along well.

Brian, I am so glad that you asked to get that Houdan!

Because Brian wanted her, I had to go get her of curse... I hadn't held any of the teen age chicks, so I wouldn't have known, that she was crackly and sneezy!! Years! It's been years since I've heard that. What's up with that? Now, every chick and chicken I own is being treated tonight full strength Denagard, except for mama hen and babies. I think they are separated enough from all of the chickens that she is fine. I am going to keep all of the big girls in their run for the next few days. I will be giving just the preventative dose the next two days, as I checked the rest, and everyone seems fine. Man, if Brian hadn't come over, I wouldn't have caught this in time. I'm afraid from the sound of the Houdan, she won't be coming out of it any time soon. I just don't keep them when they sound like that. Bleached the crated they were in. I have all the water bowls full of Denagard, they can't drink anything but that. Glad I have some plain Yogurt in the fridge. They are going to need it. This is so upsetting. I am thinking that maybe the Houdan isn't such a strong bird. Lisa has lost one, Brandi has lost one, and now probably me. I know Lisa that you didn't lose yours to illness, but to picking. I don't know. I do know that I am going to be out there bright and early to be watching the others every day for the next few days.
Thank you Brian for coming over, sorry I sent you home with nothing. I couldn't let him take that baby home when I picked it up and heard that noise. No way.

Yes I have bred Sphynx for almost 20 years. Most of my kittens went overseas to Russia China Japan Italy etc. My kittens start at $2500.00 and went up to $10.000.00 But I needed to retire. Razzel made me so much money over the years and I told her she would always be with me. I had her spayed on the QT because of all the pressure I've been getting. Razzel is one in a million.

She is happy now and since shes spayed she can go and do what she wants.

She is beautiful! I can't believe you can sell a kitten for $10,000, that is incredible. I would love to see your cats one day.

I love her, she is so cute. I hope everyone is right, I don't want to have to re-home another Roo, specially this one, I love this bird. Hoping for large Blue Eggs.

I'm so very sorry that your Houdan is sick, I have one that is 5 weeks old that looks just like yours. Makes me feel so sad. I hope they pull through. But now I'm worried about them being not a strong bird as well. I hope that's not the case, I would feel bad if anything happens to her. Were can I get Denagard in case I ever need it.

The Houdans are definitely more delicate from what I have read. They are so quiet and sweet. Hope yours gets better fast Cynthia! That Denegard really seems to do the trick.

I love my Houdans though, I am definitely keeping my rooster and hen, hoping for some babies. Still debating getting one more hen, I keep thinking I should wait til Spring, but Lilwanis has a couple from my same hatch date so it is tempting to get one more girl....the rooster hoots like a pheasant, his crow has been really good so far, hoping he stays mellow. I was wondering what the babies would look like from the Houdan roo over a Silkie or SG hen. Little fluffy muttsies for next Spring maybe>Hmmmm would be funny! I am hoping the Houdans make it through the wiinter ok. Will be using extra TLC with them.

My neighbors coop we were going to get for the SG did not work out, they are keeping it. Anybody have a small coop up for sale that would house 6 LF or 8 Bantam SG sized chickens? We are trying to decide whether or not to build one or buy one used, if we can find just the right one...pretty tired of building lol

Greetings fellow Utahans! I just recently joined and I am looking into having a flock of my own. I doing lots of reading and YouTube watching in preparation for building my coop and getting my chickens. I can't wait! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. I live in Sandy, close to the draper border.

Let me know and I'll bring them over

Brian,

I have black silkie bantam that may need to go, she keeps getting picked on by my turkey. I'm not sure if we will let them go or not yet, but i also have 4 3 month olds (2) golden sex links, and (2) black australorps. 

Kyle

I already have sex links but the australorps I would be interested in. I love silkies but they are too small for my flock
