    I have hit a brick wall trying to treat sour crop!!!

    I’m struggling with a very thin silkie who has sour crop so I have been researching like crazy too. I came across chicken sling/ bra. Apparently some chickens do have pendulous crops and that makes them prone to all these problems. I have ordered one but I’m not sure my girl would like to be...

    Silkie hen not well on day two of wormer treatment

    I was using Flubenvet powder. I mixed it according to instructions although I know silkies are smaller. Could I have given her too much? The other birds are separate to her although they can see each other. She has always been in the thin side. She was on a muesli style mix but I recently...

    Silkie hen not well on day two of wormer treatment

    Hello. I need some advice. I have a four year old silkie who has been loosing weight. I was advised by a vet that she didn’t need worming as it was only her and her sister ( who passed last week) so she hasn’t been wormed! However, after her sister being so poorly and me investigating more it...

    Introductions

    Hi all, I lost one of my beloved silkies last week which left her friend on her own. I have since found one silkie which I’m hoping to get next weekend. I was wanting to get another so I have three in total. I was hoping to get them from two different places and introduce all of the chickens...

    Lame chicken

    Thanks so much. I’m not a confident chicken owner as birds seem so delicate. I will check out the wormers. And B vits. Many thanks. 🙏🏼

    Lame chicken

    Hello. My little silkie was a bit wobbly a few weeks ago and I took her to the vet who said she was a bit under weight. She seemed to correct herself and I gave her extra meal worms etc. Today I have noticed she is lame on one foot. I read it may be due to worms or mite. I have never wormed...

    My 4 year old English silkie wobbles when she shakes herself

    Thank you so much for bringing some calm to me. She only looses balance when she has a little ruffle of her feathers. The rest of the time she seems happy scratching about the place and she is eating fine. It’s only she seems more ‘ vacant’ than usual but it could be me over watching her now...

    My 4 year old English silkie wobbles when she shakes herself

    Hello, over the last couple of weeks I have noticed that my beloved silkie hen has lost her balance when she goes to shake herself. She seems a bit ‘off’ or ‘out of it. Not so certain jumping down the steps etc. I took her to the vets who were not very helpful as they weren’t avian vets. They...
