    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    been enjoying my raptors, working on ways to make winter in Idaho better for them. Growing sprouts and boredom busters. Lovely photo of my soon to be 5 year old Jersey giant bard rock cross. Smoore. Lost a silkie to cancer and a black star to something Else. And two others in a tragic accident...

    Really bad leg

    Her toes do move. The leg is functional but when I feel the joint it has muscle and specific protective growth around it that prevents me from rotating it back into place without causing pain and possibly breaking something. I will keep on the vitamins, try some muscle relaxation...

    Really bad leg

    Thank you so supper much. No she didn't hatch that way, they said she injured herself wich has me suspecting b vitamin deficiency weakens that tendon. I gave her some liquid b complex today. I'll see what they are willing to do. It seems that the leg is positioned that way to help her...

    Yep. I even crush up egg shell and add it in. I am just concerned this laying behavior is diffrent from my full size hens. And this is my first bantam silkie.

    Silkie in destress over egg laying.

    No, that was her hatch mate I ordered at the same time. turns out she wasn't fully developed on the inside which is why she was so picky but also not growing. She sadly passed away.

    I'm thinking I might need to take her on little walks she might not be moving around enough to help her pass eggs, I'd do birth control if I had a avian vet here otherwise I'm not confident in my understanding of it.

    I'm a bit concerned over my little black silkie, she started laying dec 31, layed 3 eggs every other day then quit and had a egg yesterday with help, she does this crazy restless wandering and yelled and whines for hours until she passes the egg. The eggs are fairly big. About twice the...

    Watery poops for a long time.

    I'm not sure, I'll photo her vent again tomorrow to see if I can get you a better look. Yes that's current. And now that I can torpedo feed, I will not give them anything eles but feed. Is liver dysfunction treatable.
