    swollen padding? what is going on with my silkie's feet??

    Hi - I know this post is really old, but wondering what the outcome of your Silkie was? I have a 6mo old Silkie with pretty much the same and am struggling to get her better 😢 She had a swollen foot and swollen leg - very swollen foot! No sign of bumblefoot at all. Cleaned it up and disinfected...

    Sick Silkie - head swaying?

    Thanks for sharing! Did yours recover and she’s alright now? Trip to the vet for injection of antibiotics and vitamins today - her current thought is that the infection has caused some nerve damage and not sure it’s reversible at this stage. 😢 however, on the bright side she’s been a bit...

    I was told she was vaccinated... got her about 2 months ago. Pecked on the head is always a possibility .....

    Sick Silkie - head swaying?

    Ok, I managed to upload the video to YouTube 🤗 Now, I must say it’s not continuously like that- here’s a video of her pecking around for a bit only 5 mins before the head swaying video was taken! Albeit, it’s more head swaying than not 🥺

    Sick Silkie - head swaying?

    Interesting! Never thought of the crop to be honest, but makes sense that it could cause a head movement to happen.....The way she moves her head doesn’t seem like it’s a conscience thing tho, more involuntary so makes me think Chicalina’s theory on neurological issue is on to something. I’d...

    Well, it’s pretty darn empty to be honest...I can feel a tiny little bump but pretty squishy. Why? You think it’s sour crop?

    Thanks Chicalina! I thought the megavit has vit E... but I can crack open a gelcap and try to get a bit more in her. Because she was running around last week with the others and has been perfectly fine up until Thursday, I’m not convinced she suddenly developed a neurological issue - is that...

    Sick Silkie - head swaying?

    Hello, My little Silkie hurt her toe on Thursday. She was fine before and Thursday I noticed her hobble so checked it out and she had cut her toe, cleaned it and disinfected it but foot & leg were a bit swollen so I isolated her. Friday she seemed to be doing better but was a bit lethargic and...

    Torn tendon recovery & reintegration

    Thanks for all the feedback! I'm pretty novice when it comes to raising chickens, so it's all very helpful So, I brought home 6 chicks that I was told were all hens. YEA RIGHT. In fact, the two Roos emerged a couple months ago. We have raised them as pets and have handled them daily so they are...

    Torn tendon recovery & reintegration

    Our little bantam roo (lil Mayo) of 4 months suddenly started limping one day. Checked for injuries or bumble foot, but nothing. He seemed to just be getting on with it and eating drinking socializing very normal so we left it. Four weeks ago I came home to find him in the bushes completely...

    Can a new emerging Roo coincide with existing roo?

    yes, 7 total with 2 males - they were supposed to be all females when I got them! oomph. The goal was to have a sweet 'little' hen farm of 7 for fresh organic eggs with some very adorable family chickens.....starting to be a bit of a headache intead actually; 2 have turned out to be male and...

    Can a new emerging Roo coincide with existing roo?

    yes, seems a good idea but......16?! Somehow I don't think my husband isn't going to like the expansion of our urban chicken garden into a full fledged chicken farm of 18!!! I'll think more about rehoming one of them.
