    Thank you! I’ll start her on the vitamins. She luckily sees well, especially for a silkie. I’ve had to trim some of the others eye feathers in the past.

    Young hen suddenly died.

    It's a gentle heat source that only comes on at 32 Fahrenheit and shuts off at 40. Not intense like the heat lamps.

    Young hen suddenly died.

    My head hen, about 6 months old, was dead in the coop this morning. It seems like she had just fallen off her roost and never got up-- she was flat on her back. Yesterday I noticed she was in the coop on her roost most of the day, and wouldn't even eat her favorite treat when offered to her. I...

    This was SO helpful to read, thank you. The two silkies that get bullied never sleep in the coop I have to put them in every night. Maybe I’ll consider doing this if need be as well

    Rooster suddenly lethargic, sleeping standing up, tail feathers down. HELP!

    Rooster suddenly lethargic, sleeping standing up, tail feathers down. HELP!

    I tried treating the affected rooster with Corid with no results yet, today I started him on a dog dewormer. He's getting worse and I'm expecting him to die any minute because of how he looks. Finally got a picture of his poop. Im nervous its Pullorum disease?
