Thank you.
Humor is the spice of life. Couldn't go through without in my life and work. Speaking of silkie roos. I actually have one....he's 4.... I've never been able to keep a hen past 1. He is the sweetest roo, never had an issue. Which is the only reason I kept him because he will hide under his larger hens for protection and I have no use for a rooster. But hey every needs a mascot. The place I got him is where I just ordered more silkies from. Maybe this hatchery has better odds.
But I could have swore you moved that gate yesterday
. This right here is the reason I will never keep cream leg bars again. They were so dumb. Now if they had been dumb and cute maybe they would have stayed but I only have room for so many dumb/ unprofitable animals and the pair silkies already full that spot
Yeah she didn't stay long because she would scream if other chicken's, the same chicken's she was raised with mind you, came near her. This would insue them to all gang up on her. It's like if you just stop screaming they might leave you alone.
RIGHT?!?! Mines such a bad false alarm she's constantly getting pecked in the head by her flock mates. She doesn't even have a full crest! The silkies still panic at every scream! If it ever was a real alarm call they'd be doomed with their freeze/ostrich/I'm a rock routine!
When they freeze like that or are just staring at the sky we call it looking for the mothership.
