    Silkie with mites! Acting sick....possiby anemic.

    Silkie with mites! Acting sick....possiby anemic.

    Thank you! We have a lot of chickens but they are still young. She was very attached to the other silkie that we lost early.

    Silkie acting a little strange.

    Okay, I wasn't sure if she would be broody before she has started laying yet. I'm a first time chicken owner, my husband has had chickens growing up but I'm still new to it :)

    Silkie acting a little strange.

    I recently got 2 Silkie hens from someone getting rid of them. She said they are almost a year and haven't started laying yet. They seem to be very attached to each other and always stay together but the last 2 or 3 days one of them has not been coming out of the coop into the yard by itself. I...
