    Silkie laid an all white egg

    They can do that. The eggs that lay in their uterus when they are broody loose their light brown tint since they are in there for a long periods of time. It happens to my broody silkie hen.

    Sick hen

    Agreed pictures also help to. You can use many medications to help the bird. Also coccidiosis doesn't always have blood in it. Your bird probably has Emeria:E so you might want to give it yogurt and leafy greens to help the digestive tract. Hope your chicken gets better :)

    Sick hen

    What does your chickens dropping look like? Possibly cocidiosis. There are 7 species of cocidiosis. Emeria:E ,acervulina:E ,brunetti:E , maxima:E , mitis:E, necatrix:E , and paraecox:E. I don't know what type of cocidiosis your bird has. But I do know the remedy for it. It's called corid. It's...

    Help please

    If her head is down and possibly curled its rye neck. It's a vitamin E deficiency. The lack of the vitamin disables and enables the muscles of the neck to drop down and start to curl. I would recommend to give your silkie tuna or a high vitamin minerals. Hope she gets better :)
