Hi all, I am in the throes of a dilemma here, hoping you all will give me your opinion. I have a 5 week old silkie chick with a badly broken leg. For a couple of days I splinted it myself, and gave injectable penicillin, and general care. The chick is perky and eats and drinks. (With help of...

I have 5 approx 2 month old Serama chicks for sale in North San Diego County. They are healthy, cute, well tamed, full of personality and make entertaining pets. 3 are female and 2 are male. They all have feathered legs! Hoping someone out there has an interest in breeding feather legged...

See if you can find the kitty in this picture! Yes, it's a real live breathing kitty, not a optical illusion or an outline in the dirt or something. The resolution is not the best, but I can't help that, I took it from another website. I will post 3 hints below so DO NOT scroll down if you don't...

Hi all, I showed some of my silkies last week, and one of my hens really impressed the judge. He gave her Champion of breed, but did not give her best bantam because she had some slight yellowing of the feathers in her neck and chest area. (He told me this when I asked.) I'm wondering what to do...

Attention Guinea People: I need someone who is knowledgeable about guineas to help with a rescue of a couple who were dumped at the beach. This is a very populated urban area, maybe someone hatched them and then could'nt take the noise. They are just living off of whatever they can find and the...

Here are a few pics of my house serama Billina on a hike with us in the hills above Laguna Beach on Mother's Day. What a beautiful day for a hike! It was the best Mother's Day ever for me-- we did so much! Laguna was lovely and we had a picnic (better than a crowded restaraunt!) and even went to...

Hi, I have posted a long time ago about this particular hen....she is a hen belonging to a dear friend of mine who found her on a horse trail and kept her. She started having leg weakness and falling over. You BYC'ers said that it was a nutritional problem, so for several months my friend has...

Hi, this is one of my rescue hens I have posted about in the for sale section. I am concerned that this one may be eggbound, but I have no experience and I may be wrong. Please help me decide what to do..... She was rescued a week and a half ago (legal confiscation by the authorities) and I have...

These 4 girls were legally confiscated and rescued from an "inadequate" home. I have promised to either keep them or find them a forever home. I'm not "selling" them becouse that would be unethical considering their circumstances. I hate to give them up but they are large fowl and I have mainly...

Hi everyone, I just did my good deed for the day by picking up these 5 hens from an animal shelter in another city. They asked me to rehome or keep these girls after they were legally confiscated from a bad home-- the shelter is NOT set up to deal with chickens and they were in a cement dog run...

Anyone going? Anyone have any info on specific show rules? Thinking of going but wondering what I'll find when I get there....... No info online at all and the club folks are less than forthcoming....

Well I realized the other day that my cat has fleas, so, horrified, I went looking for my usual "spot on" flea control product. (Frontline or advantage) Darn, there was no more in the box. I ran out last summer and forgot to get more! Usually I get all I want from my friend, but she lives far...

Hi, My friend's pullet has some odd sort of lameness problem developing, and we are concerned because it is getting worse, not better. There is no injury, although at first we thought one of the other animals hurt her. If it were a simple injury I think it would have resolved itself by now, she...

SUNBATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 75 degrees here this AM!

Anyone care to guess the gender of these 2 silkies? They are exactly 4 months old, hatched them at the end of August. I have horrible luck and always get cockerels....... so I'm leaning toward cockerel on both! Take a look... There is one white and one splash Oh! ~ and the white has his/her...

I have several silkie chicks of various ages, from exactly 1 month to exactly 4 months old. All unknown genders, obviously. It's frustrating, obviously. I have one silkie rooster who takes care of everyone. Today we witnessed the roo do a "Dance" for one of the 4 month olds. (the dance with one...

It was a gorgeous day, so we took the kids to Knott's Berry Farm yesterday, and took a few pics of the wild chickens that live there smack dab in the middle of the city. They seem to mostly live in the grassy lawns around the Knott's pay parking lot. Naturally, my DD and I just had to feed them...

I have 7 new babies of assorted "rare" breeds, since I decided I need actual EGG LAYING girls not just my show silkies!! LOL!!! This particular week old sebright is sooooo PATHETIC! All she wants to do is live in my bra! She peeps constantly otherwise and does not act like the others, who love...
