Well, thank you again. I'm pretty sure I had seen you recommend him! I can always count on you for friendly advice so thank you for that too! (Forgot to mention that I went to a Nancy Sinatra concert about 13 years ago in Hollywood!)

Thank you to whoever recommended dr z in Duarte/Azusa! Went there today to check on my hen that I thought had sour crop. He's so knowledgeable from working in the poultry industry and so nice too! First visit is free but normally only $40. Last week we took are other hen to the exotic animal...

Thank you. It helps to know we aren't alone in this. They are prey animals and naturally more suspetible to things going wrong. We just have to keep doing our best for them.

There is a Nancy Sinatra/Lee hazelwood song with the name Phaedra in it. The video is pretty funny. You can sing that to her wheh she arrives! If numerology is going to make chicken keeping easier I'll have to try it!!! Btw. Not sure if I've asked you before, where do you get your chickens?

Thanks for the kind words! Sorry for your losses as well. I'm beginning to accept the "secret" that loss might be par for the course with chickens. I certainly do whatever I can to prevent that though. My girls are pretty sweet. Although our silkie is a bit nippy to me, I think it's because...

I have gotten ahold of her. Thank you!!!

She is so cute!!!! We started off with six silkie and Cochin and our poodle, a predator and an unexpected liver hemorrhage has left us with three, including a black smooth silkie! We Love our breeder but she has moved even further away than she was before all the way up in Northern California...

Can anyone recommend a **d'uccle** silkie or Cochin breeder in Southern California?

When we got our chicks they were under a week old and we kept them in a brooder. It was much easier than I expected and I loved it. Sounds like that might be the best option for your hatchling. I haven't experienced I've only read of hens killing their own chicks, I don't blame you for wanting...

@Sylvester017 I hear you about unsexed chicks! My husband handed me a no crow collar from the mail moments before we realized our white standard silkie (we think he was a roo) had been attacked! We aren't supposed to have roosters but we were going to try to make it work because he was such a...

@Sylvester017 Also I'm so sorry to hear about your loss!!

@Sylvester017 Thank you so much for sharing your story with me!! I just love the pics too. We have a partridge silkie named Zsa Zsa Gabor! And a smooth black silkie named siouxsie Sioux (after the goth singer) We also have some frizzle and sizzle Cochin we got from fabulously feathered...

You are so sweet. Thank you!! Someone wrote that chicken keeping involves trial and error and some sadness. It gives me a little comfort to know we aren't the only ones who didn't get it right at first. I am so lucky to have such beautiful babies, their personalities make them even better!

I didn't mind your original post. It actually is encouraging to know not all injuries are fatal. We won't let our dog around the chickens anymore and if we do in the future she'll have a muzzle. She was guarding her food when the attack happened. The day our roo was attacked by the raccoon my...

That is an amazing recommendation and sounds worth the drive. We've become so attached to our babies and losing 2 in 2 weeks (raccoon and our own poodle!!!!) has been devestating. It has become very obvious that we love them and want the best life and best care for them. Omg do you live in PV...

It actually was the second vet that made us wait. Yes he might have had other appointments but it was cruel to make our roo with his leg almost tore off and air sacs punctured to wait. My husband was a vet tech for 15 years. My fil is a vet. They couldn't believe that an emergency situation like...

We actually took our roo to her first before heading to the second one (bad experience at 2nd location. Vet made us wait an hour to see our roo that had life threatening raccoon injuries) We were too panicked to get a good opinion of her but it's good to know others like her. Thank you!!

After a chicken tragedy and a sucky vet we realize we need chicken doctor recommendations. We are in LA very close to dtla. Please tell me who you take your chickens to within a 20 mile radius of dtla. Thank you!!

At what point did you realize you had a roo?!
