    Drooping Comb

    Her comb hasn't changed color at all. Her face isn't as red, but she does that, so for her that would be normal. She looks funny now though. Working on the pic.

    HI, I have a baby Silkie, about 1 or 2 weeks old. Anyway, 2 days after I brought her home she started getting poo on her bottom. I have had to constantly on a daily basis clean it. I have since cut her down there and haven't had a problem. A couple of weeks ago I lost an older Silkie chick...

    Is Coryza the only illness that smells like rotted meat?

    Quote: Because I have had a chick (about 1-2 months old now) that I got the Saturday after Easter that has been dealing with being sick for a while now. First we thought it was CRD, but then someone posted it was IC. So I treated her 3 days with Tylan 50 SQ (sub q) at .2 cc. The smell...
