    New Silkies Sudden Sickness

    I've recently jumped onto the bantam silkie band wagon by adopting 4 pullets. Two of them (both have white coloration) have eyes that crust over rather quick and had nasal discharge. Currently I've cleaned off their eyes and set them up in a quarantine cage but one is now coughing/sneezing and...
