Re: [CHICKENS-101] Angel

 

Georgia, Last time I had guineas, I had to pretend I did not have any.  Now if Angel could get lavender silkies,  let me pay her fees and I pay mine, and fill out all the paperwork to import.... Dreams... Cathryn

Hi Cathryn, nice to see you here today.  Missed your great messages.  So Lavender Guineas - they are rare?  I saw where one of the hatcheries was advertising Lavender Guineas but don't remember which one. 

Since I'M the only one around here allowed to SCREAM, I decided guineas probably wouldn't be my best choice of bird.  : )   'Cause I just can't stand it when my DH says, in his best smirky voice "Are they defying you, dear"?

Re: [CHICKENS-101] OT Rainbow the lovebird riding herd on seramas

 

Gina, How funny!!!  I can see your pets running, thinking they are hearing your voice!! LOL  Cathryn

OMG, maybe I will have to give any Serama chicks to Baby, my Senegal parrot! heehee

He rules the roost around here and when he yells "get in here, right now" everyone comes running.
Gina :-)

[CHICKENS-101] Re: Silkies hiding eggs

 

One of my Game hens hid her nest in a wood stove. She went in through the fitting for the stove pipe. Another his her nest in an old van engine compartment on the battery holder. Both of those took me a long time to find and I only did because I watched the hen, broody, going back to her nest.

Another will get under the metal casing of a computer to hide her eggs from me. She can't see me, but I can see her fluffy tail sticking out. Silkies will also spend hours covering their backs and sides in bedding, then lay flat as a pancake. Silkies are too funny! Cathryn

[CHICKENS-101] Re: And I thought I got robbed!

 

I just leave one egg in the nest. If one is dirty that is the one I leave. And I trade it for a new one every few days.

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Silkies with holes in their heads?

 

Georgia, Silkies have vaulted skulls like the polish from being bred to them.  From what I have read and learned, not all silkies have vaulted skulls. Cathryn

Does it close up as they mature?  Do the chickens know about this vulnerable spot?  Because the young Silkies I have seem to go for each other top knots!

Thanks,
Georgia

I had to move Rainbow to a different cage because even though he was tiny, he guarded 4 food dishes from them. Lovebirds are quick and can be quite territorial. When my seramas stood around with their tails down, I decided it was time to move Rainbow. (I did not name Rainbow; he was an unwasted, neglected bird that found his way to me. He was given to me, is very gentle, gives kisses, and has never bitten anyone since he came to live w/ me. Cathryn PS These seramas were raised in the house and have never lived with other chickens.
