Buckaboo Farm breeds Satins, Showgirls, Frizzled, Bearded and Non-bearded Silkies. I've seen pics of her LACED Satins which are really pretty. She's into genetics if you have any interest in contacting her. The website is fun to peruse w/ many sky and olive eggers, copper marans, D'uccles, etc...

Getting ready for a cold can of Polar Seltzer w/ "Betta" the Blue Silkie Glass of herbal Hibiscus tea with "Keiko" Moorhead Partridge Is there any holiday/situation that chicken owners haven't done yet! chicken diapers chicken aprons chicken helmets to go bike riding chicken strollers...

Men & boys in general wolf food down, our men friends, my DH, my BIL, SIL -- I raised only one son but he could clean a plate faster than a chicken! He's a married man, 6'4" and 58 yrs old this year and eats faster than our Keiko. "KEIKO" -- Moorhead Partridge Silkie -- can't fool her, she...

That's because human doctors just take pharmaceuticals word for all their drugs and follow IPA and insurance rules rather than thinking hard like a vet does about what's best for an animal that can't explain where it hurts! Rant over! BLUE SILKIE FLUFFY BUTT

L.M.A.O.!!!!!!

Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? If God created every bird, animal, insect, & human and Luke 12:6 says not one sparrow is forgotten, how much more we should believe He's not forgotten any one of our birds/buddies when He takes...

Little Red Hen & Howie -- WOWIE!

Our back patio roof had a bunch of stuff under it during winter that we were going to sift thru but our newest 3 Silkie chicks have been using all the things to explore and hide under that we postponed the cleanup -- plus my broken arm will delay yardwork for a while anyway. It was serendipity...

Our alpha hen (a Dominique) must get 1st choice, takes a bite or two, & steps back or walks away for the others to whoosh in. Since she's the biggest, oldest, and assumes alpha we've noticed she avoids chasing the newest littles (Silkies) if we respect her status. If she goes first for food it...

CC your photos are the bomb! Gorgeous!

Thank you for saying what I wanted to. Roos or an alpha hen that has no roo in the flock must get the food and attention first. From the video I saw Pastel seemed a fairly normal roo except that he was not given the feed first. When we feed treats we give alpha first crack at it & when she...

Yep, Doms are usually not shy about anything. The chicks were about 3 or 4 days old when we brought them home and as teenagers were respectful to our 9-yr-old alpha Silkie. We were afraid of putting bigger Doms w/ the old Silkie but they turned out to be her protectors till she passed at 11...

Oh, how we LOVE Crows! They never bother our chickens and the neighborhood murders chase off the Cooper's hawks! YAY!

We've had 4 Doms over the years. Peppy outgoing people-friendly unafraid as chicks where other chick breeds seem scared of humans. Dom chicks were our favorite standard breed chicks & calm as adults and great conversationalists -- whereas Leghorns, Marans, etc are a bit less sociable. We've had...

Is it possible the migrating wild geese/fowl are what's spreading AI thru North America or is it the fault of crowded industrial poultry farms for the spread? It seems backyarders dont get AI & only the commercial poulters do?! Also, I thought horses slept standing & only lay down if ill? I...

Yes -- Sun tea w/black tea always seems to taste better than teapot tea! We like raw unfiltered honey rather than sugar/artificial sweeteners. Yum. For herbal tea I like peppermint. Our 3 littles back on February 2 diving for millet seed

you had a question re help w/ your chickens?

Sorry I missed a month of FBA. After a nasty fall breaking my right humerus arm bone I looked like this on Mothgers Day I'm still today one-finger typing w/ the left hand! Had a great day having visitors. DH takes good care of both me and the 6 girls:

If Pastel is good w/ his ladies & protects them keep him and just wear hi-top galoshes to protect your legs from his spurs. You can always put a childs sock over his head whenever you need to hold him for health checks and wear long arm gloves and long sleeves to protect from scratches. I...
