Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[LadiesAndJane]

I LOVE silkies! They are my favs, but my firsts are still chicks. I named my gray one Kohaku, my white one Sunny and my Black one Akira.

Welcome to BYC and the Spectacular Silkie thread!
Anime fan?
Would love to see photos of your birds.

Crop is now squishy but she's off balance and stumbles around

I’ve actually had success with impacted crop issues using an over the counter stool softener made for humans. Not sure if you have that available in Australia, it is called Colace or sodium decusate. It comes in capsule so you have to puncture the capsule and squeeze out the liquid. Usually mix it with a little yogurt and give it to the birds with a spoon.
I have not had any experience with sour crop.
Praying that she improves.

Char is broody again so I've given her 7 eggs as I don't think they are fertile but I'll give it a go. I'm hoping Popcorn has done his deed though I haven't seen him do it yet. For some reason I think Biscuit maybe infertile just like previous rooster after age of 2 I guess I'll find out in a couple of days. I moved Char into a small cage for a nest that opens to an area so she can get out but blocked off so other can't disturb her nest.
