I'm so new to chickens, got my first one in July, seabright, and 2 weeks later my wonderful silkie hairspray. Both are about 4 months old, this weekend,...
When roosters start trying to crow, it sounds pretty much like rusty gate hinges. It's a really pitiful sound but quickly becomes a full-blown crow. If your...
Here's a pic comparing a seabright rooster and a seabright hen. Which one does your daughter's look like? You'll notice the hen has very little comb at all. ...
... First off, congratulations on your first egg! It is such a thrill to get that first egg, and I've got to tell you, I still am amazed every time I collect...
The best thing to do with those tiny eggs is to keep it as a memento. Because the surface area to volume ratio is so large, it will dry out quickly without any...
Too absolutely adorable--especially the last picture :) I'm just wondering if they could make a silkie? Suze Barking Flowers Isn't this the most precious...
MessageAH! Good idea! Gotta get a pair of those... Barb ... From: John & Suze Scott To: housechickens@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 8:59...
Well, it looks like the seabright is definitely a hen, what are streamers. I looked on Alan's sight, and I cant tell the difference. I'm so upset about this. ...
Long feathers coming off the back of the head and hackles. To post pics, you can either attach/insert them in a message with your email program, or go to the...
I have an interesting question...I recently acquired a 12 week old silkie hen. She was shipped last Wednesday. I had a fecal done at the vet on Thursday. It...
If you were treating the coccidiosis might not show up in a test. Other causes - worms? Good point. I'm hoping after two fecals they would have found worms if...
Hi Robin, Coccidia doesn't always show up on fecal exam - last time I had cocci in some new youngsters, I ran one fecal, which was negative. I was certain ...
I am definitely not an expert but something similar to this happened to my grandma's bird. We were all expecting the worst until I found out that the silly...

Hi Jenny, I'm thinking you're right, that somehow I picked the one fecal that was negative. I have Sulmet. I found a package of Albon that expired last...
Congrats on the First Egg! :) I still have the first eggs from my original two hens, from 1995 (we poked holes in the ends of the eggs and blew the contents...
Our rabbit, Legendary was in love with our first two silkies (Cloud and Buckbeak) when we first got them :) He was convinced that we had gotten him some...
You know, just going by your description of the Silkie--how it follows you around and hangs out with you--I'm betting roo. They are SO sweet and friendly! The...
Hi Robin, I guess I'd treat the whole flock, if they have all been exposed. I've never had albon in a packet - I get it in suspension for birds. But I would ...
Well, one of my guineas is definitely a female. She started calling yesterday afternoon and it sounded almost like a bob-white quail. She was definitely...
Spot and Maria settled in quickly to their new home in the den with the chicks. Maria isn't at all thrilled with all the kids running around underfoot. On...
Hi Jenny, The Albon is a 107 gram packet. It's a powder. I bought it from a pigeon supply company. The instructions are 1/2 to 1 tsp per gallon (depending...
Then you'll just have to catch whomever is crowing or wait a bit and see what develops. :) My silkie roos didn't start to form these streamers until AFTER...
