    Silkie hen dark stinky poo and wobbly

    I was really hoping it was not mareks and these two hens with issues were unrelated but I just found another one who didn't come out of the coop this morning. She was just standing in the corner so I picked her up and placed her on the ground. She kind of fumbled to keep balance so I brought her...

    Silkie hen legs not working properly

    I have a silkie hen whose legs don't seem to be working properly. She kind of sits on her hocks and fumbles around. She's not moving around much but when she does she doesnt have a whole lot of control. Her and her sisters have been broody for the last week or so and whenever they are broody I...

    3 month old mopey silkie roo

    I have a 3 month old silkie roo not acting himself. He is acting more disconnected then usual. He originally was super low key, not the sharpest tool in the shed but went about his business like chickens do. It's been warm and I noticed he was feeling it and it seemed like it may have been...
