Can't wait to hear the good news!!! Ohhh so precious...I wish I was closer to you too I believe some vitamins and electrolytes would be the perfect pick-me-up for the stress of being shipped and a nice quiet place to rest and not be disturbed for awhile. Medicated chick feed and you should...

Hey girl! Congrats on your new babies So cute! Thanks for sharing. It's so exciting, isn't it, to get new silkies! What a stud muffin!!! Just love him. I am so sorry that you have lost two babies. So hard to feel like your hands are tied and can't help. I changed from shavings in my...

I haven't been on in a long time since my mom passed. I am speechless, sorry, and I hurt for you. I can't even imagine your sadness. I see your determination though and with your family by your side you can do it, with God all things are possible!

Don't you love it when someone you have only known through a facebook group, you have never met, you haven't even had long conversations with, see's that you haven't been on in a while and sends you a message because they are worried about you and then when I didn't respond right away took the...

I have seen so many post about sick chickens. I just went through this and learned I needed an emergency kit to have around to get me by until I could 1) take my chicken to the vet or 2) get to a store to buy a large container of the drug I need. There is a kit that is only $25 and has almost...

FYI ~ This is from a Vet friend of mine who lives in the Netherlands. This is her advice and orders for Scaly Leg Mites: For a case this severe the petroleum jelly will probably not be enough. FOR 5 DAYS: Get Tricide-Neo powder (labelled for fish use) - dosage 1 tablespoon per gallon, stays...

Well I didn't make it My mother was up and down and I didn't get much sleep. Did you get all your birds sold? I am going to shoot for the show in February as I really want to go to another one. Have a great week

Cute pictures. Love your broody hen's coloring. Love this bottom picture it looks like such a soothing place for them to relax in. Pam is Shasta okay? I hope so. I noticed my roo going after one of my silkie babies that I think is a boy. I hope it doesn't get ugly! Hoping all is good with...

Didn't you go to the show today?

I would add (according to a vet) that you follow the Corid with Probiotics, Vitamins, Electrolytes in the water for one week always after you have treated with any anitibiotics.

I've heard people talk about weather in the teens. The most important thing is that they have others to snuggle with to provide the heat. Silkies like to pile on each other to stay warm. In the summer the biggest thing is ventilation...air moving through the coop. They will die more from...

She is breathtaking! My silkies all lay in the shade and it's cold outside, what's with that??? What parent lineage is she from RockerHen?

I have heard two different schools of thought on this...one is they can go 21days because their body goes in to a sort of hibernation shut down and they conserve energy and the other is to provide food and water close to them. I was taking my hen off of her clutch everyday for a run, food...

So ! You do need to get another one so "he" has a playmate. Silkies love to snuggle with other Silkies Happy to hear he is doing well Sheeshshe. My little Tonto is back with the flock today after being inside for 6 days. The rest of the flock was treated also. After today they will all...

Now I'm worried because mine free range all day. There are so many now with 16 that I'm sure the hawk would get one or two for sure. So sorry ChicksNherps.

I don't really know the answer to that. I am a fairly new chicken mom and if this vet hadn't helped me I probably would of lost my chick and maybe the flock. I'm sure better safe than sorry. If it were me I probably would give it to my chick. Anyone else here have some advice for Sheeshshe?

It is a sulfa drug. Used mainly to control Coccidiosis and Intestinal Bacterial problems. This drug should be followed to the letter. Use this product for no more than 5 days MAXIMUM. Can be used in conjunction with Oxytetracycline to help control respiratory issues. THIS COMES IN POWDER...
