    Got a case of wry neck

    We do have huskies that are quite inquisitive. We take care to shoo them away, but they can be quiet sneaky little cretins. We've had a ton of problems with Rural King and Tractor Supply chicks. This is why we switched to local farms. We've hatched a bunch of our backyard mixes with a near 100%...

    Got a case of wry neck

    I bought them from a local farm, so I'm not 100% either way on that. I wouldn't think that were the case, but its really impossible to know. I know that I'm not feeding them the same feed, she said she was feeding them something that was 20% rather than the 18% I'm feeding. She mentioned the...

    Got a case of wry neck

    Unfortunately she passed shortly after I made the post. Should I do anything to prevent this from happening to the rest of the brood?

    Got a case of wry neck

    One of my silkie chicks developed a case of wry neck. Found her trying to give up jut baking under the heat lamp this morning. I took her out of the cage and I got her eating and drinking and her condition is improved some as she now moving around and holding her head up a bit better, but not...

    The wife bought Silkie Bantams...how do I keep these things alive?

    6 birds per brood. Locally sourced from local farms. The six I picked up already are all buff silkies except one is a buff frizzle. I was going to pick up 6 black silkies today, but had to push that trip to tomorrow because they are 2 hours away and I have outstanding school work that’s due...

    Well, it has been a few days since the last one died. The two survivors are holding strong. Picked up a new brood of silkies yesterday and picking up another small brood of silkies on Monday.

    New Silkie Brood. Please critique my new set up.

    Picked up 5 Silkies and a Frizzle, all Buffs, from J&M Farms in Springhill, FL. Great people and highly recommended. To try an avoid what happened last time I have them in a completely different 'brooder' set up that I used for Turkeys a bit back. These chicks are a little older already, so...

    Coop Door Frozen Shut - Any Tips?

    I'd look into installing some sort of an electric heating device around the frame that could be remote actuated from your house. Turn it on 15 minutes before you go outside...ice is gone!
