    Sick silkie?

    1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) White silkie, about 9 months old, not sure about weight but does seem a little lighter than the other silkies but I figured because she’s younger? The others are about a year older than her...

    Bumblefoot healed, still limping

    What killed my hen? (Warning graphic)

    I do have other silkies who are all hens as well as full sized hens of other breeds but I’ve never seen them fight or even try to peck each other before. I’m wondering if the hawk might have killed her on the spot and didn’t have time to finish her as my husband came out shortly after it...

    What killed my hen? (Warning graphic)

    Who is the culprit here? We allow our chickens to free range and we lost this one right around dusk. Missing feathers all over head and neck. And deep gashes on neck and back of head.

    Ivermectin and corrid at the same time?

    I feel awful and recently had one chicken die from coccidiosis in our flock. She and her buddy were 8 weeks old and new additions to our flock of ten chickens. We free range our chickens during the day. They were starting to integrate although pecking did occur occasionally but I tried to keep a...
