So some of you might remember my black Silkie Roo was ill close to a month ago (flopping around drunk). I am happy to say that King Silkie is on the round to recovery! He is now at the point where we take him outside for an hour everyday and he has almost gotten away from us! As for the illness...

Another small update.. Still not walking, not even a little like before but plenty alert and hungry and thirsty as well as eating & drinking on his own if I put the food & water close enough since he cannot walk to get it on his own. My mom took him outside today and let him enjoy the sunlight...

Im having this same problem right now with my Silkie rooster. Only he's 5 and I should probably expecting him to have issues at that age. :(

I'll start off by saying that King Silkie is the most robust Rooster. Always energetic and bossing around the girls. We have had him and our other hens for 5 years, no health issues- until today. My mom went to feed the chickens and King Silkie was NOT himself. Flopping about, acting drunk. So I...
