    Silkie with fungus?

    I use pine shavings in their coop. They are in a large pen bc of predators. When it’s in the 20’s and the weather is wintry I move my Silkies to an indoor large run. It’s has pine shavings too. They have trampled it down to where there is some powder. The others are good. I need to cheap...

    Silkie with fungus?

    What is this? I soaked her feet today and it became squishy. Tried to carefully remove some and it hurt her. It’s firmly attached. I put triple antibiotic ointment on a sore spot and wrapped it. I sprayed all of her feet with blue coat fungus spray. Should I take her to the vet?

    Chicken Tricks

    Im training some silkies to help with a ministry for adults with special needs. It would be so cool if they could learn some tricks. Does anyone know where to order the chicken treat clicker? It's looks like a measuring cup that holds treats. You click it and hold it in front of the chicken...

    Dyeing Chickens

    They are in a large coop with several perches and nesting boxes. We redid an playhouse that's probably 8x8 and has a porch. Two large dog pens have been connected to form their pen and their coop is 3ft off the ground with a slated ladder to go up into it. The free range anywhere from 3-7...

    Dyeing Chickens

    It's my cinnamon queen, silver laced Wynadottes, and the rooster. He's new to the crew but since the others pick on them he does too.

    Dyeing Chickens

    I tell them "No!" in a stern voice. I chase them away. I would like to put spikes all over them, like body armor, and see what happens then. I separated them again. My heart couldn't take it.

    Dyeing Chickens

    I have some gorgeous sweet buffs that the rest of the flock are mean to. They beat up on them. The buffs have been around a long time. When I added a rooster he started picking on them too. I separated them again but they can't stay in the smaller area for long. Im seriously wondering that...

    Wry neck?

    Mine like pedialyte. My silkie still has Wry Neck. I'm able to get polyvisol, vitamin E and selenium in a mixture a few times a day. She eats chick feed on her own but I do give her watered down food as well. I worry about giving her too much stuff. She is still on an anti inflammatory...

    Wry neck?

    Do you dilute the pedialyte? I buy it in the powder form. I usually dilute it some.

    Wry neck?

    Wry Neck is so frustrating!! Elsie, 7 week old silkie, has had it for 2 weeks. I mix vitamin E and selenium 3x a day with bread and tad of pedialyte to get it moist. I feed her chick feed mixed with pedialyte and a drop of extra virgin olive oil at least twice a day. I give her drinks of...

    Black Head Disease???

    One of my chickens is losing her feathers around her head and has black spots on that area. I used to think it was the others picking on her but now I have noticed some spots on the others. Not as many but they are there. What do I do?

    Very stressed laying hen

    Rhea is a Buff Orphanton and is so sweet around me. She is a year old and a regular layer. She was molting on her back when I got her 6 weeks ago. The other initials were mean to her and would get on her back. Now it's rare but she is so afraid of the other hens. She prefers to stay in the...
