    Sick Silkie...

    Thanks, everybody, for your advice. The more I read up on Marek's, the more it sounds like our problem. Unfortunately we had to let Vern go yesterday. She got to the point where all she could move was her head to eat and drink. I am very upset to have lost her and now I'm worried for my last...

    Sick Silkie...

    I just wanted to add that Vern (the little sick girl) has been acting different today. She has been scratching at the cage and fidgeting alot. She almost seems nervous, maybe panicing and is constantly moving her head (like Ray Charles). Do you think that would be caused by Marek's disease. I...

    Sick Silkie...

    I am a member of a Facebook group and met a lady on there that breeds and raises Silkies and that's where I got them from. I original got 3 birds, but I lost one about a month ago to what I thought was botulism. She stopped growing, had paralisis in her legs and wings and always had her eyes...

    Sick Silkie...

    It's really hard to get a good picture of a chicken lol. Her foot looks normal and I don't see any injuries but she holds it out and keeps losing her balance when she walks. I was told by the girl I bought them from to give her molasses, so I mixed some with her water this evening. Does that...

    Sick Silkie...

    I am very new to chickens. Back in June I bought 3 baby silkies. I put them in a guinea pig cage with regular play sand on the floor. All 3 chicks were born within the same week but one of them was much smaller than the other 2 (Raven). Around the beginning of August, I found the small chick...

    She was born either the 26th or 27th. That's crazy!

    Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

    Hi, All! Brand new chicken owner here! I recently got 3 silkies... (Sandy, Vern, and Raven) They are 2 weeks old and I can't wait to see what they look like when they get older (especially Sandy since I see how much partridges change while growing)! I have absolutely no chicken experience...

    Silkie thread!

    My babies are almost 2 weeks old! I can't believe how much they've grown in such a short time. (Sandy, Vern, and Raven) Since everyone is asking the pros some questions, I figured I would join in :0) I was wondering the colors of my girls (specifically Sandy because she's so much different...
