    What to feed adult silkie?

    I just rescued her two days ago and I'm not sure what a "proper" diet is for a fully grown adult silkie as I've never had one before.

    Need advice - found a hen

    Thanks for that. Does anyone know if the medicated powder for mites/lice will be enough or do I need something else to treat her as a precaution?

    Need advice - found a hen

    Hey guys, I've got a silkie hen that was brought into my work today (wildlife rescue) and apparently she was found in a riverbed with leeches attached to her leg and in her nostril :( No leeches now but she's very dirty and underweight. What do I need to do? I've got the medicated powder for...

    Infectious bronchitis - help?

    From a bit of googling, I think one of my hens has IB. The only symptom she has is wrinkly deformed eggs and watery egg whites. In all other ways, the whole flock is healthy. No signs of respiratory distress or reduced appetite, just the egg issue. Is there anything else it could be? Or, if it...

    Urgent help needed!

    Thank you, I feel quite upset about it but I guess at least she was warm and comfortable in her last few hours instead of being vulnerable in the open. Her crop felt harder than what I'm used to with my hens, and because she was literally skin and bone it seemed to be protruding more than I'd...

    Hi from Australia!

    Thanks for the welcome guys! Glad to know there are fellow Aussies here, I'm from Tas :) Unfortunately the ducky passed away :( She started having really violent seizures, it was awful. But I'll definitely be hanging around to read about chickens, we're currently extending their run so I...

    Urgent help needed!

    Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately she started having seizures and lost the ability to even hold her head up so I decided to have her put to sleep :( She passed away halfway to the vet :'( I honestly don't know what could've caused it, maybe if she'd been...

    Hi from Australia!

    Hi everyone, I'm Emily and I'm from Australia :) I've owned chickens all my life. I don't breed, I just own as pets, and I love them. I've just rescued my first duck too, she's not in a good way though, poor thing :( But hey, hopefully I'll be posting mostly positive things on here!

    Urgent help needed!

    Hi, I really need some help. I've rescued a wild mallard duck that is absolutely emaciated, so badly underweight that she can't stand. The vet checked her over thoroughly, she's not injured but is so badly starved I don't know if she'll survive... Weird thing is her crop is quite hard, but she...
