    chick leg problems- doesn't look like spraddle leg

    I had tried the oatmeal-like feed back when she was only like 4-5 days old and she didn't go for it, but I've mixed some up and put it in their box. Now the food options they have are dry medicated starter feed, crumbled hard boiled egg, and wet mushy medicated starter feed. I've been...

    It might be too soon to tell but it seems like her condition has gotten worse. In the morning she has a hard time opening her eyes because they seem almost glued shut. She can eventually open them and she seems fine after that. We have been feeding her separately to make sure she is eating...

    eye infection?

    Here is another picture. My camera is kinda dirty it seems, but hopefully this is clearer. I looked at the links you posted and I really think it looks like favus. So I put some antifungal around her eyes this morning, trying carefully to not get to tooo close to her actual eyes. She is...

    eye infection?

    This is regarding my 9 mo. old silkie, Pepper. About 2 days ago we noticed that her eyes were not as open as usual. Upon closer examination it seems that the skin around her eyes and extending to her beak is peeling. She seems to be acting okay. She has been broody lately, but she does this...
