    Unbalanced silkie

    I have a silkie who has suddenly become uneasy on her feet. Wings are down. A little shaky. And beak is chattering now and again. What could it be? Eating okay. Crop full. Poo seems a little runny but not overly concerning Please help :(

    Silkie with Prolapse

    I believe this too, I just just know how 'rough' to be with her. How far I need to push it back in?

    Silkie with Prolapse

    I have a silkie who prolapsed a few weeks ago. We sorted that issue but now her bottom is puckering a lot and she is acting as though she is broody. However no interest in food and her tail is permanently up. Her poos are smaller than usual Any thoughts or advice please ?

    Cayuga ducks

    After a fair bit of research it seems Cayuga ducks will be best suited to our garden. We already have 3 lavender pekin hens and one silkie rooster. (We believe (still quite young)) But it seems very difficult to find these breed of duck in the east midlands, England. Also, I've read it's best...

    silkie sexing

    My bf has said if our adopted silkie is a roo he has to go, he is safe until he starts waking the neighbours up at silly o clock. Should I stop kidding myself and stop saying he is still to young to know his sex and just come to terms with the fact he is a roo ? :(

    Marek's survival???Pic added while sick

    My 2 and a half month old silkie has no feeling or movement in left leg. Other than that, he's Perfectly fine. Vet says mareks, but I think we are holding on to false hopes that it's just an injury. Any advice? :(
