    Need advice

    My one week old silkie chick is not doing well today. I went to the brooder to check them this morning and she was on her side with her feet going wild. She was chirping loudly. I picked her up and her head flopped to one side. She is in the brooder with 6- 2 week old chicks and 2 other 1 week...

    Thinking this might be a roo?

    Funny I was thinking the same thing about both of them. They're constantly going at it. Made me wonder if they were both roos too.

    Thinking this might be a roo?

    Its supposed to lay lt blue eggs. At least that's what the person I got it from said. He has mostly reds and brahmas so I assume that's where the red is coming from, he was black with black legs as a day old chick.

One in particular has been left bleeding from the comb several times. I have noticed that their feathers are...

    SAD Day :(

    RIP to my beautiful black silkie roo who went to the great coop in the sky. So very sad, he was my favorite. What's worse is I have no idea what happened to him. I posted details of his illness on here but no one seemed to know what it could be either. I'm worried for my other silkie as well...
