    Silkie: Silver Partridge or Lavender?

    I know this an old post. What do the babies look like? I am guessing they are white or lighter versions on mom. I bred my porcelain hen (lavender buff mix) with a partridge rooster. The chicks are either white or porcelain in color. The lavender gene lightens certain colors.

    Red mite

    I swapped permethrin for geranoil for the indoor rabbit hutch. It worked immediately to kill the red mites. At this point I will probably haul the rabbit hutch off to a dump for a proper burial. The mites in the outdoor wooden coop still die when sprayed with permethrin, so I’m wavering on...

    8 week old chick ate layer feed for 2 weeks

    I will start off with the backstory. I choose to purchase bantam sexed chicks 2 months ago, and opted about 2 weeks ago, to sell some of the chicks I wasn't planning on keeping. Fast forward 2 weeks, the individual I sold some of the females to tells me that the 1barred rocks can fly up to the...

    Boy or Girl (Cochin Silkie Crosses)

    I know this is an old thread, but I am curious as to the sex of the chicks. I am guessing the one with longer wings and yellow legs turned out to be a female. The darker chick with smaller wings a male. I say this because hens transfer many of sex-linked traits to the male progeny. I bred a...

    Hen Oozing White Substance

    I brought her to an avian vet for an impacted crop that turned out to be overeating. Her fecal float turned out to be clear. She’s on cephalexin for a possible infection.

    Old Show Hens Laying Question

    A breeder I purchase routinely from gave me three older hens (2 frizzle satins and 1 silkie) that ceased to lay about 6 months ago. She does not know the age of the hens because Sheri Minkner's neighbor gave them to her prior to Sheri passing. I am told they were from Sheri's show stock, but may...

    Hen Oozing White Substance

    Her bowel movements look loose. The leaking fluid occurs whenever I pick her up. I included a photo of her vent before I washed it to show the fluid that will accumulate.

    Hen Oozing White Substance

    She is 2 years old. I saw white fluid leaking out after she went broody. Her belly feels on the squishy side.

    Hen Oozing White Substance

    The hen feels hot to the touch and has a swollen abdomen. Whenever I pick her up white poo bubbles out of her cloaca. I am feeding her yogurt and chick feed with probiotics. Is there anything else I can do?

    Study about MAREKS/ treatment with hypericum

    This is an old thread about a very important topic. I am trying St. Johns Wort and Vitamin B1 on a 5 month old Silkie pullet. She continually sits with very little appetite. It could be that the heat stressed her out to the point of an outbreak.She hasn't been on medicated chick feed, so I am...
