    Yellow runny poop... ?

    We've had a sad and catastrophic development overnight. I went out to check on Winnie at 10pm in the coop. She was "fine" but I noticed our other hen Henny was laying with her neck at a strange angle. I tried to pick her up and she was limp. I ran ran her into the house and within minutes she...

    We soak our Henny's feet in water and tea tree oil and then bandage them. She enjoys her spa days

    Broody hen? HELP!

    That's a relief! Sort of...Should we continue trying to break her, or just leave her be? We're worried she won't eat and drink enough if we don't lock her out of the nesting box.

    Broody hen? HELP!

    I'm hoping someone can shed some light on one of my hen's recent change in behaviour. Winnie will be 8 months old next week. She is a silkie. She started laying a little over a month ago.

    Sexing your Silkies (PICTURES AND TIPS - Updated July-5-12)

    Well it's super early for just for reference, the ones with the bigger combs-] mine are 9 weeks and neither have some that big yet. That's not a good way to sex them at all but I'm thinking those might be roos

    Sexing your Silkies (PICTURES AND TIPS - Updated July-5-12)

    Well they don't have combs or wattles. They both have tiny grey bumps that are slightly raised on their wattle area and that's about it. I certainly hope they're both hens but Roos are good too! Thanks

    Help! Pasty Butt

    She is doing great!!! Thanks so much for asking. Her name is Winnie and she's full of spunk. After I posted her pasty butt worsened and I had to give her bum a total wet down followed by blow drying (spa treatment). It was fine from then on. She's much smaller than her sibling but doing great!

    Help! Pasty Butt

    My tiny silkie has pasty butt. I've just been cleaning her bum with a warm paper towel frequently. When I first got her, she was weak, drinking but not eating and her poo was clear. I gave her some sugar water and Pedialyte which seemed to perk her up. Made her feed into mash by adding water...
