    Maturing Silkie rooster making strange noises

    Hey all thanks for the tips! I looked in his beak and I did see some slime on the top of it but not alot. He also is doing it far less since this morning. I hope it will be come soon.

    Silkie hen won't use one leg

But I do have a closeup in a video I made of the hen. I also got her some extra vitamin B this was...

    Silkie hen won't use one leg

    Yes mine does now too. she gets along well and isn't low in the pecking order. All my chicks get along pretty well. She still eats and is very active. Which is why it's so weird she's not using that leg. I could maybe make a sling for her and put it somewhere in the coop? I'm not sure. I'll make...

    Silkie hen won't use one leg

    She used to move her foot and leg a week ago but didn't want to stand on it. Now she isn't moving her leg at all :(. I'm not sure what is going on but it doesn't seem like any other chicks are affected by it.

    Silkie hen won't use one leg

    Thank you! I am not sure how old she exactly is because I bought her off a market. I've had her for Round 2 to 2.5 years now. As you can see she is still very strong as active. Me and my dad agreed that she may look goofy and all but she doesn't seem to be suffering. I can always try the sling...

    Silkie hen won't use one leg

    Hello all! So I have a flock of Silkie chickens and one of the hens stopped using one of her feet. She still reacted and moved it when you tapped her feet and my dad felt her leg and didn't feel like anything was broken. We cleaned her foot and put her back in the coop. The other chickens don't...

    first time letting silkies hatch with mom

    thanks for the handy tips! I did do something similar. I removed fresh layed eggs so that i wouldnt have eggs that would hatch a week later. If the hens decides to leave the remaining eggs, could I let one of the other hens sit on them till they hatch and then put them with the other chicks? I...

    first time letting silkies hatch with mom

    thank you for your reply. i am not sure but i am guessing that these eggs were layed over a span of 2 days maybe 3. they all seem to be in about the same stage right now so i think they will hatch the same day or the day after. I didnt know that it was a bad thing for some to hatch later. I do...
