I took in a couple roos the other day. A black Silkie and a cuckoo Silkie. The cuckoo Silkie looks so different, though. He is supposed to be pure Silkie, I guess..</div><br /><div align="left">The lady I got them from is a breeder of Silkie & Welsummers. She didn't need these two anymore, because she isn't breeding the cuckoo color anymore, and the black roo has a slightly crooked beak.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">The above photo was taken on the way home, while stopping for gas. He's a fairly friendly roo. The black one seems sweet too, except... While giving them a bath, he grabbed onto the Cuckoo's wattle, and would let go! =/</div><br /><div align="left">Yesterday was a busy day.. Cleaned 4 brooders (sigh).. Had to give the two new roosters a bath.. Give my goat a bath (not an easy task lol).. Give 2 dogs and 7 puppies a bath. After which time, it was time for <strong>me</strong> to take a bath...Was already soaked anyway! ha</div><br /><p>Today, I have to worm the goat and try to get a lot done..And I woke up tired. Exhausted. Hate that. You know it's going to be a long say when you wake feeling that way. lol <br /><div align="left">Anyway.. The baby chicks are all doing well. I have chicks in 3 separate "brooders".. And a couple Mallard ducks in another.</div><br /><p></p><br /><div align="left">The Tetra Tints and "mixed reds" (golden comets?) are in a cage in the house.. The original brooder has Amberlinks, a couple Leghorn pullets, 4 mystery chicks (lol) - they were in a bin at Tractor Supply marked "Comm. black pullets" , 3 Easter Eggers,3 barred rocks..</div><br /><div align="left">A brooder for the bantams - not sure what most of them are. I have 12, and out of those I know I have two Silkies. The other? Dunno. lol I have a couple production reds in with them for now, until they get a little bigger. </div><br /><div align="left">Then, I have the Mallards in their own little brooder. I think I got one male, one female. :) I tried the vent sexing method, and without a doubt, one is male. I'm 99% sure the other is female. lol </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">All are doing well, but have been a LOT of work to keep up, that many brooders, in an already crowded room. But, they are worth it. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">The outside birds have been much easier to care for, obviously. lol</div><br /><div align="left">Outside, I have 4 month old Pekin ducks.. I bought them not too long ago from a guy in a nearby town. When we met up with him and tried to pet the ducks, I quickly realized they are not nearly as tame as I had expected/hoped. So, they will be some work. </div><br /><div align="left">Then, I have a white Silkie hen, a blue "splash" (?) Silkie roo, the two new roos,</div><br /><div align="left">an OEGB roo (he's not doing too great though).. Two White Rock hens, one "White Rock" with speckles.... lol Was told she was a White Rock hen, but if she is, she has to be mixed! lol She may be a Delaware or Sussex with faulty coloration, or a mix. She's the friendliest of the 3. :)</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Back to the brooder situation... lol I'm moving the Tetra Tints and reds into a tall cage today, with more branches. I think the Ameracauna/Easter Eggers will be moving up, too. They are getting HUGE! They've outgrown the Amberlinks/Leghorns, all the same exact age! </div><br /><div align="left">Didn't think EE's were that much larger than Amberlinks, etc? Anyhow, they will probably move up into the big "brooder" cage today.It's actually a ferret cage. lol But it works! The bigger chicks love perching, roosting, flying.. lol</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">The last of the chicks I am planning to get this year will be here late April/early May.I have 5 Amberlinks & 5 black Australorps on order for the last week of April.. And 15 Buff Orpingtons on order for the first week of May. I only wanted 5-8 Buff Orps, but there was a 15 pullet minimum. =/</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Sooooo tired. But, time to stop procrastinating. lol </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div>Sunshynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903165120861469850noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136054176387743931.post-31991133022946336232011-03-26T02:21:00.008-04:002011-03-26T02:59:42.320-04:00<span style="color:#663366;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff99ff;">Starting over with chickens..<br /></span></strong><br /></span>Last year, I lost my flock. =( First, I took in some sick hens. It spread to some of the others. *sigh* Then, I made the mistake of trying to be good to a stray dog that came along. I kept him a while, until one day he got loose while I was gone and it was a massacre! :*( All of my chickens, and my duck.. Gone.<br /><br /><em>That dog is gone, and i'm starting over again.<br /></em><br />So far, I have 3 White Rock hens, a cute little Mille Fleur Old English Game Bantum roo and a pair of Silkies - one white hen and a blue (splash?) rooster. The lady I bought the Silkies from said he is a splash, then she said he isn't a "true splash"....not sure what she meant? But, he's cute. lol Bad on the back for now from her other roosters.....lol....but cute!<br /><br />In the brooder, I have 3 chicks from the "assorted red pullet" bin at Tractor Supply. I'm thinking they are Golden Comets. 3 "Ameracauna"/Easter Eggers....they were straight run...hoping they are all 3 girls!! ..Or at least 1-2! lol </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">4 Amberlinks.. Well, one may not be an Amberlink? She was in the Amberlink bin, but she has a light tan stripe down her back. So, we'll see! lol </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">2 White Leghorn pullets.. 3 Barred Rocks, straight run.. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">6 Tetra Tints.. A new "breed" that Mt. Healthy hatchery is getting in strictly for Tractor Supply this year.....and has VERY little information on! </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">They said they will be white birds, 5 pounds, similar to a White Leghorn.. Some may have darker markings on them. They will be heavy producers of a light creamy colored egg. That's all they know! No photos are available of a full grown Tetra Tint. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">It seems like everyone has been asking about them on backyardchickens.com and noone has a photo of a full grown Tetra Tint! Soooo.. I will be sure to keep everyone who comes across here with photos of my Tetra Tints as they grow up! :) </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Oh, and I have four little mystery chicks from a bin marked "Commercial black pullets". </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Again, noone seems quite sure WHAT these birds are! lol </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Some people thought they may be black sexlinks.. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">But, I contacted the hatchery, and they said "these birds <strong>are in no way sexlinks"</strong>.. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">"They will be a lot like an Australorp"! </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">The first one I got of this type is not getting a lot of bronze coloring on her wings and tail! </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Her legs are dark and the bottoms of her feet are pretty yellow. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">The others I just picked up from the bin.. One looks just like her when I got her (almost, except she has a beige chin...this one doesn't, I don't think) and two itty bitty almost solid black chicks. They "fur" is very velvety textures, and they has white wing tips and yellow undersides. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Can't wait to see what the little black mystery chicks AND the Tetra Tints turn out to look like!! :)<br /><br />...and... I have 5 more Amberlinks (love, love, LOOOVE Amberlinks! lol) and 5 Australorps on order, they will be here toward the end of April!!<br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Now.. The ONE breed I am currently looking for is the Orpington. I'd love to find a Buff Orp hen or chick or two! Doesn't have to be buff in color, but preferred. :)<br /></span><br />I will post photos here sometime soon!<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="color:#663366;"></span><span style="color:#663366;"></span>Sunshynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903165120861469850noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136054176387743931.post-12723583001830435632010-08-05T14:18:00.004-04:002010-08-05T14:39:43.144-04:00Henny or Benny, continued! lol More pics..<span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663333;">My last post was about "Henny", and whether or not Henny is a hen/pullet or a cockerel/little rooster. I've had some people say she(?) looks like a female, and quite a few others say male. </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663333;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663333;">She/he has acted a bit like a male, but then she was raised with SpunkyRooster, my young White Leghorn cockerel. So, maybe that why? Or, maybe she is a "he"? lol I mean, don't get me wrong, Henny will still be my baby, one of my favorites of the flock, either way! lol I'm just really curious!! lol</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663333;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663333;">Also..
