    What color silkie is this baby chick?

    Cute little chick! Most likely gray/dark gray.

    Chick with strange leg deformity!!

    A missing toe? Is s/he a silkie? Having a missing toe should not hinder him/her, but s/he might be a bit off balance for a while.

    Broken Neck? Sick? Or just retarded?

    My wacko cockerel was "fine" yesterday... but today my sister picked him up and he stretched out his head on her lap and just lay there. He's an active little thing and has never done this before. Never been sick before, still eating/drinking/pooping. Still barely over a month, but his face is...

    Rooster? (picture)

    Might be, but to me she looks female. The curving tail feathers are probably just a characteristic of her breed.

    Purple comb

    Yes, listen for breathing problems. Also, maybe some diatemaceous earth (did I spell that right?) can't go wrong in case your chicken has external parasites.

    someone broke my chick leg

    One of my Icelandic chickens got a limp leg from being stepped on. She was only five months and couldn't even stand up! I isolated her, put her in a sling and fed her comfrey. She healed in about a month. COMFREY HELPS!

    Dying Rooster

    My sweet young rooster had a strange- sounding crow one evening and was hoarse the next. He used to be top dog, but now is picked on by everyone. Last night, I thought he was going to die but lived through miraculously. He's wheezing now, in the coop and sitting down (wierdo, he's never done...
