    White Silkie chick with light coloured feet? Help!!

    Nope, but they do meet breed standard. Blue earlobes, 5 toes, blueish black skin, mulberry wattles and pure white colour. I'm not sure what went wrong because they hatched out 18 chicks this month as well and all have black feet. Silkies genetics are so difficult to understand so Im a bit lost

    White Silkie chick with light coloured feet? Help!!

    Hello everyone, I hatched out some White Silkie eggs and most of the chicks have light feet but have the black skin throughout their body, just not their feet? They have the walnut comb, 5 toes and the feathers on the last toe. I will attach some pics of the chick and the parent stock. Any help...

    chick with unabsorbed yolk sac and insides coming out!!

    Hiya just for an update, the chick survived that stage. It absorbed the yolk and the area closed up. The chick was however very weak and a 1/4 the size of its batchmates. It could not eat,drink and had breathing issues. I gave it a week to try and catch up but no progress. I decided to cull it...

    Help! I think my new chick has a hernia.

    Awhh poor chick, I'm surprised he lasted that long. Usually they die within a few hours with this much yolk being left unabsorbed. Sorry for your loss ☹️

    Hip/joint issue? Spraddle leg? Slipped tendon? Help with newly hatched chick!

    Hiya how did the chick get on? To me it looked like spaddle leg not a slipped tendon (usually the legs turns around more in an odd position). This case looks like it could've been resolved with bandage and a loose sock. I would suggest doing leg stretches and feeding some egg yolk and...

    How to differentiate buff orpington chicks for RIR chicks??

    I read that buff orp chicks can have tiny black spots on their head which will feather out to be a darker buff colour? Perhaps this chick is not a high quality buff orp but it is the only one with white feet. It does have a tinge of yellow but not a lot as seen in the pic. The only other one...
