Thank you, good reading. Is this contagious or preventable? The article doesn't really say.

Yeah she's 4, that's why I thought she'd be dead already but she's stubborn. I know a vet will be very expensive. I'll keep trying to keep her as comfortable as possible but I know what the end result will be 😞

Cheese like is exactly what they looked like. Her tail is down but she moves around a bit. I was planting my vegetable garden and she was right there going for the worms however after a bit of activity she goes to a corner looking sad. She eats, drinks and poops but she looks sad and what I...

Cheese like was exactly what they looked like. Her tail is down but she walks around a bit. I was planting my vegetable garden and she was right there with me going for the worms but after a bit of activity she stands in a corner looking sad. I do feel an egg or what seems to be an egg.

One of my Silkies has gone broody. This would be great if I were looking to grow my flock. She's a stubborn one, she'll sit in an empty nest. I've isolated her, keeping her away from the nesting boxes. How long is this brooding going to last?

My flock is 8 strong, a 3 year old black sex link pullet, a 3 year old new Hampshire Red(my favorite) a 2 year old Long Island Red(I think), 2 16 week old Silkie Bantam, 2 16 week old Red sex link pullets and 1 16 week old brown sex link pullet. Quite the mix. At the moment I have the older ones...
