6 weeks. Reallllyyyyy hoping it’s a pullet but Im kinda thinking its not. Help me. I know silkies are harder.

I have a Silkie who is roughly over 5 weeks. Im starting to think its a male (because of the stance/ maybe streamer feathers?) but want other opinions as this is my first flock. Picture below. Also, if this does happen to be a male, can somebody educate me on keeping eggs to eat even if they...

I have 4 chicks, two of which are 5 weeks, one is 4 weeks, and the other is a little over 2 weeks. I live in the PNW and weather conditions are pretty cold and wet as of now, but the big girls have outgrown their brooder and now almost the outgrow pen. My question is should I wait until the...

Tomorrow my Papa is coming over to help me set up the fencing for my run. (He also built my coop for me because he is amazing. I plan on painting/decorating it and I will have to post pictures) I need help on options for the flooring of the run. In post forums I have read all of the run floors...

Tomorrow I am getting a one week old Silkie chick. I have a flock of three chicks right now already, one 3 weeks old and two are 4 weeks old. The 4 week olds are Red Sex Links, and the 3 week old is a Black Leather Giant. I am looking for advice on the best way to bring in the new baby to the...

I saw that at Wilco the other day and ALMOST grabbed it. Ill have to go back tomorrow when they are open and grab some. She is on Vitamin E and selenium. Started that treatment 48 hours ago. She is under a heat lamp and is still in the brooder with the other chicks, I just have her separated...

This is her now. I guess i was just worried it was something else because she seems to be really depressed, sleeping a lot. And is she small for her age? or is that just a silkie thing? her feathers are coming in fine.

perfect ill make adjustments to her treatment right away.

For a little over 24 hours I have been treating my 3 week old silkie chick for what I THINK is wry neck. Through observing her today though I am starting to wonder if its something else. Her symptoms include: *neck hanging between legs (but she has good moments were she can hold herself up...

No I am located in Washington State. I will update. somebody above mentioned newcastle. She has similar symptoms. Im still leaning towards it being Wry Neck, she just doesn't seem to be getting much better at all which I know not to expect because she only had treatment for 24 hours.

Okay, B vitamins are the only thing I havent been giving her but ill start right away.

so you are thinking it is wry neck over newcastle??? thank you for all the help.

Yesterday when I found her her crop was pretty empty so I am hoping best case scenario the other girls weren't letting her eat and she became Vitamin deficient, and its not brain injury. One thing she has been doing that I find odd is she keeps rustling her chest feathers and shaking her head...

Im new to chicks and chickens. I have a flock of 4 chicks, the one I am worried about at the moment is a Silkie. She is almost 3 weeks, and yesterday I noticed she developed what I am almost positive is Wry Neck. I started her on the Vitamin E and selenium treatment yesterday. What I am...
