Well guys it looks like the little one is puffing up just fine. Another one came out the same but not as intense. Here baby is now

Same here!

That's what I was thinking. The belly of this little baby is now dried and it appears fluffy just like they usually fluff up haha so hopefully the rest of this baby will fluff right up too. I was just surprised and a little caught off guard so I thought I'd turn to the trusty byc! Thank for...

Hi 👋 I've hatched my fair share of silkies but this is new to me, one just came out and it looks like it has little bumps all over it. Like it's coated is very small sugar size grain..? I don't know how else to describe it so here are a few pictures. Wondering if anyone has seen this before...

Everyone else seems just peachy. It is sad, I hatched him myself. He fought a good fight, I only wished I could have better helped him. Thank you, I appreciate your messages

Hi thanks for your reply. We have a half acre for our flock roam and free range. We are in washington. Sadly after 2 weeks of nursing he went downhill quick and passed a few days ago. There were days where i really thought he was going to make it. I noticed he had lice and I know lice like sick...

I have a 3 month old silkie roo not acting himself. He is acting more disconnected then usual. He originally was super low key, not the sharpest tool in the shed but went about his business like chickens do. It's been warm and I noticed he was feeling it and it seemed like it may have been...

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that's not quite true. I have been doing 2 tsp per gallon. Right, I did read that providing vitamins actually benefits the parasite so I have not been giving anything extra besides the chick crumble.

Thank you! I pulled him to separate them yesterday so I could keep a closer on him. I am currently treating them all. I will continue with the corid but I'm also going to purchase rhe endocox to have on hand. You have given me some relief! 😅 I appreciate your time and help

Oh my gosh, thanks so much. I really appreciate the information and links ypu provided. This is my frist time dealing with this so educating myself while trying to hunt down the right medication has got me a little stressed. I just want my little guy to feel better. I actually just ran across...

Thank you!

I currently have a 10 week old roo showing symptoms of coccidia, started about 3 days ago. I noticed right away and have been treating them all with corid. I know there are several variants of the parasite. However, when doing research and gathering information I read on someone's post on here...

There are a few a little darker too, brown or grey in the coloring

I just hatched 9 silkies, 6 or 7 have pink tipped toes. I've done some reading, some say they are splash and the toes may eventually turn darker. I don't know how good mom and dad genes are. I bought the parents as eggs and hatched them last spring. Also read if the comb of the male is too red...

I hope so 😍
