Had a friend who's kid is getting into showing silkies and wanted to share this thread with her.

Phew... aint been here in a while..... Walmart or any big box store.

Looking for a used but working table top incubator. Brand/age/model is not important, but price is. If you have a bator collecting dust and need a little cash, please pm me. Must be willing to ship. I'll cover all shipping costs or Paypal fees.

No one? And that shows you how rusty I am. I want bantam Ameraucana's, not Araucanas. Preferrably blue wheaten, or lavendar (self blue).

I used to bathe them for shows only. But depending on your need, flock, and housekeeping practices, you may need to do it more often. Its personal preference really. I wouldn't suggest anything more often than every 2 to 4 weeks though, and thats only if you are have seriously dirty birds, or...

Its been some years since I've been an active participant in the chicken world, but I'm once again looking into starting a backyard flock. While I'm sure I'll have a Silkie or three in there, I primarily want a "breakfast flock". I know that I want at least one or two Araucana bantams in the...

You sure the dogs aren't helping the birds out? 50lbs of feed a day for 17 birds sounds like quite a lot...

So the BIG question is... are you Nikon or Canon?

Block the north wind as best you can. Put a heat lamp in the coop with them, but make sure they have room to get away from the heat if they want. Try putting your waterer on an electric heating pad if you don't have a submersible heater. As long as they can get up and move around, and there...

The comb and wattles look to be dubbed... at least from where I'm sitting. I'd put money he got loose from a fighting installation.

Nahhh. In the fashion world its called 'butterfly lighting' - but after looking at your galleries, I'm sure you knew that already! But, putting the lights on either side would work as well.

I wouldn't suggest it, for the exact reason you stated. It's easy to nip the quick. Besides, their feather legged... they're supposed to have feathers there! If cleanliness is an issue, I would slightly trim a little at a time just to clean it up a little. I wouldn't ever hack half the feather...
