    Three year old Red sex link hen lethargic and walking slow this morning

    My big beautiful girl died this afternoon I am almost positive it was a heart attack. Her comb got really purple and she couldn’t stand up. Within seconds she just flopped around a little bit in my arms and died very quickly. She had been absolutely perfect the night before and literally from...

    Three year old Red sex link hen lethargic and walking slow this morning

    When she came out of the coop this morning she was the last one out and she followed the other five girls into the grassy area but very slowly she squatted to poop and it was I thought a little bit of an odd color. Runny and trickled down her feathers-kind is orange/yellow. Her vent area was...

    Three year old Red sex link hen lethargic and walking slow this morning

    Help Silkie experts

    I'd say cockerel. BUT for 24.00 you can send a few feathers in for DNA sexing. To Avian Biotech Labs in Tallahassee, Florida. One week turn around. SO WORTH IT- I usually send part of the egg from each chick as it hatches and send in but if I am not sure about which egg came from each...
