    Wish I could check her wings but I haven't got a clue which one she is now. I have another 4 white and with the buff looking white they all look the same.

    This was after a few days of hatching, the other white chicks were yellowish. Now they all look white. The breeder had written the colours on the egg so I know she was supposed to be buff.

    Hi all, I have a buff silkie that is now white! When it hatched it was a lovely butterscotch colour but 7 weeks later she is white. Will she return to buff or not?

    Just can't believe how attached I got to her and then lost her. She fell asleep cuddled up to me and is buried in the garden. Devastated!

    I had to put one of my baby silkies to sleep on fri, my vet said we were only prolonging the enevitable and there was nothing more he could do. Can't believe how much I miss her. She had a vaulted skull which leaked fluid and formed a scab, she was separated for 5 weeks from the others where I...

    Ocular Marek's? (tiny squarish pupil) PICS

    Hi, one of my silkie chicks had this in both eyes. It's almost like a birth Mark. Does anyone know what it is yet?

    Vet doesn't really know, he doesn't know much about chickens. He's sent a photo off to a specialist for advice. His initial thought was either skin infection hence the anti biotics or a abscess.

    She's definitely a little fighter! I'm so pleased that there's some people out there who agree with me! I can not give up on something that is trying so hard to survive. Silkies are such beautiful creatures! :)

    Fancychoocklady there are feathers that are growing through the scab, I think that's why it still weeps. She rubs her head against her blanket all the time too, think it's must be really itchy.

    Thank you chick rookie. She is an absolute sweetheart, we have already given her a teddy bear which she sometimes lies on. She wasn't interested in a mirror and walked straight past it to me, she has bonded strongly with us. She eats and drinks as normal and acts just as the others do.

    Hi everyone, this is dot. I think she is a dwarf as she is tiny compared to the others! She is 4 weeks old and is separated from the other chicks. As you can see she had a big scab on her head. It started off as what we thought to be a vaulted skull, she rubbed it on the electric hen that just...

    Silkie chick with vaulted skull that's leaking?

    This is my little silkie chick Dot, she hatched 2weeks ago and has a vaulted skull. Her head has never fluffed up as she constantly rubbed it on the electric hen so her feathers flattened down. I fluffed it up so it wasn't obvious to the other chicks as I saw one peck at her. Whilst using a...
