yeah shes definitely sad that's for sure. knowing that flock dynamics change, i'm trying to keep her going. the only reason she's still with us is her other silkie bestie. the others are small polish, 1 aracauna and 1 leghorn-all small as had them all since 5 days old and only 7mths. hmm thanks...

Hi all, I'd love some advice please about my silkie who is bottom of the ranks (27wks old) and has been gradually doing less and less for the last couple months. Now she just stands there doing nothing. -won't follow others -comes out coop 10 mins later than others -wont peck or scratch -only...

This is exactly what ive been looking for to make a growth chart. how did you copy the above google doc. form? i cant seem to find how to make it work. thanks

prob not as we sanded them all down completely and made sure they were all smooth but thanks.

hi, i mentioned it was sand in the above post. its weird as they dont even walk on their 5th toes-they kind of stick up

Hi chicken friends and experts, I'm a new chicken owner and my 14 wk old silkie hen has developed sore and bleeding bits on her 5th toes both legs. are these pressure sores? i can see its sore and pink where the scales should be close and grey. the one bleeding is strangely on the top of her...

i'm giving Avi-vital from my local chook supplier. full of B's, some D, E, minerals, probiotics etc.. strangely enough, as i've given her nutritional yeast, she's actually trying to get up and rolling around, so i'm helping her legs to push against me to strengthen. i think she'll make it if i...

if i can do an update... my 9 wk polish frizzle is still lame 2 weeks later after vitamins and hand feeding/watering her. i ended up taking her to a chook vet who rules out mareks and parasites, doesnt really know what else it is. giving her some anti-inflammatories as her joints stiff from not...

Oh ok then. looking at some other posts on wobbly legs, i believe it will definitely be best to boost with the vitamins thanks. other polish has sneezed a bit and has watery poop but otherwise being a normal chicken. Ps. just found our chook place does Avi-Vital full of those vits so i'l grab...

Oh I see. Ok, thanks. good idea not to medicate if not sure of an infection. I'm not sure we have nutri drench in Australia but will ask for the equivalent. Its weird as they're all eating the same food which is a top brand from a show breeder. hmm

Hi chick experts, I'm really worried as a first time chick owner. I've done everything right that i can think of, but a week ago, my polish started walking wobbly with wings down for balance. I rang up my breeder who said to put her on amprolium. shes so weak. its been 4 days on it and she's...

Thanks. i gave them some cocci meds in case and keeping an eye out. all good so far

thanks. i did put them on amprolium to be safe. i dont know if their feed is medicated or not. will ck on monday with the shop. hopefully all is well

Thanks. I did start them on some amprolium to be safe. only had it happen once today and once a week and a half ago with the lining. one chick in particular is definitely drinking lots of water and i saw her do a normal poop with water around it a couple times yesterday. they just dont look sick...

Thankyou. looking at the poop checklist, if its orange and stringy as above then just a lining. no actual proper blood but the white one is weird..hmm

Hi, i'm a new owner of 6 chicks. they are 3 wks old. its summer in Australia but not too hot. One (not sure which) did a white watery poop on the brooding plate. One is what i'm assuming is stomach lining sloughing off? they are all running around eating and drinking fine. i give them ACV and...
