    Silkie can't stand or walk, having seizures! Please help!

    Sadly my FeeFee passed away this morning. I am relieved in a way because I no longer have to watch her suffer. I've treated the entire flock for parasites, lice, mites, worms, etc. After losing all 3 of my silkies, my husband found me 6 baby chicks , black, splash and blue Silkies that we are...

    Silkie can't stand or walk, having seizures! Please help!

    I've tried hand feeding, she won't take it. She did drink a little water. I will look into the tube feeding. She's in a pet carrier, it's good size for her. I've got her up on the kitchen counter right next to me lol poor girl, it's worse when they're your pets. Thanks everyone .

    Silkie can't stand or walk, having seizures! Please help!

    I've done a lot of research, I agree with you, their symptoms are pretty spot on with this disease. This sucks. I have 30 chickens, she is my favorite of them all. Thank you for the info.

    Silkie can't stand or walk, having seizures! Please help!

    I have an 18 month old Silkie hen, FeFe, who's health is plummeting! It started with change in behavior, not interested in leaving the coop, not running to me when I came out with the feed bag, etc. Then came the seizures. A few of them per week, I also noticed her running into things, as if...

    CAN YOU GUESS MY AGE?!

    I'm not worried about the eggs. They have the best temperament of any chicken breed, and I have Cochin and Silkie breeds that I thought were pretty chill and docile until I met these 2 girls. Looks like the guy who had them before us was wanting to get rid of them because they can no longer...

    CAN YOU GUESS MY AGE?!

    Thanks for the info. She has a sister, we bought the pair, her sister has only laid 2 eggs in the past few weeks, and she has not laid any. I thought it might have been due to stress from the move, but I also told my husband that they could be older hens. He bought them off of a friend who told...

    CAN YOU GUESS MY AGE?!

    Thanks everyone, we just got her a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure if she's went through her winter molt or not, I'm going to assume yes. My guess was close to 2. What is the life span for the golden comet?

    ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THIS IS??

    I have 1 other Roo, a large white Leghorn, but what's odd is that he and "Toe Pecker" are best buddies. He follows Toe Pecker around all day. Elvis is the only Rooster I've been able to keep in my flock, because as you all know, roosters fight constantly. However, we did recently add 4 8 month...

    Newby needs advice re: sick hens and new chicks

    Hello, I'm sorry about your poor girls. I've been through this as well. It sounds to me like your chickens have "MG" also known as , the "bubbly eye respiratory disease." I'm attaching a few files to better explain this dreaded disease. Be very cautious about adding new chicks. I have 2 Silkies...

    ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THIS IS??

    I noticed this bad spot on BOTH wings of my Porcelain D'Uccle Roo, Elvis, this afternoon. He and the rest of the flock are lice/mite/bug free, and disease free, as far as I know, and all appear to be healthy. He recently turned 1 year old. I've never seen this on him or any of my other chickens...
