My black 2 day old silkie has splayed legs. I'm going to tape his legs to a stick. But for how long do I leave him like that, with taped legs. Other chick is a bamtum black one was only click silkit to hatch.
Is it common for another silkie hen to go broody and steal another's hens nest. My gray silky has been sitting on her nest for 2 weeks, and now my black one just went broody today and stole the others nest.
