    Sick silkie. Worms? Or coccidia?

    Ok, thank you! I'll look into sour crop and pick up some sulmet today and see if it helps. She's been a trooper through this. I've been trying for a month to get her better. I'm holding out hope she can pull out of this. She's a tough little chicken!

    New frizzle

    My frizzle is about 5 weeks old. I honestly don't know the breed, it was mixed in with a few different bantam breeds, the woman at the feed store where I bought it didn't know either. I actually wasn't even sure I got a frizzle until the feathers started coming in. I will try to get some good...

    New frizzle

    I bought a little frizzle chick about a month ago along with some little silkies. I have owned silkies for a while, but I've never had a frizzle. I was wondering about their personality traits, can anyone fill me in on this? My little one is VERY friendly, loves to be scratched, and always jumps...
