My little girl (black silkie hen) is very sick and i have to decide her fate. I will describe her symptoms and if anyone has any guess of what this could be, or better, experience with this illness, please post. I need to help her. I have been researching for days for a solution.

It's interesting that you said that we're raising are own pigs for the first time this year. We've got them in a big pen with trees and grass, and they go into the barn for shelter. They like to roll around in the mud, which is fine by me because they enjoy it. We've got two, the boy...
