    Silkie Roos fighting

    i have one silkie roo and one silkie roo mix. They both started fighting today for a long time. I waited about fifteen minutes to make sure that it didn't go on for long. And when it kept going I took one of the Roos and put him in a dog kennel in the run. Is this normal? I've had silkie Roos...

    Chicken has puss on chest

    I have separated her and have her water with electrolytes in it. I'm scrambling some eggs for her now. Her crop is not very full.

    Chicken has puss on chest

    Last night I noticed one of my hens was not perched and then today when I let everyone else out she came wobbling towards me. I checked her out and noticed she smelt awful! I looked under her feathers and found a big pussy scab. I cleaned it off with hydrogen peroxide and it looks swollen in the...

    Silkie roo

    This is my roo Fluff. I am looking for a forever home for him. My chicken to rooster ratio is off so I have to get rid of one, and he is the youngest. He has just reached his maturity where he is starting to mate. He has a beautiful crow. He has been given shots. Located in the north central ma...

    Silkie roo has matured... And very aggressive with mating. Will he calm down?

    They don't squat for him they try to run and he grabs on and drags them. My girls combs are not bleeding. They just seemed stressed... I just didn't know if this is because they don't like him or if it's because he is a different breed or what :/

    Silkie roo has matured... And very aggressive with mating. Will he calm down?

    I have a flock that has been incredibly happy... I have four red comets, two leghorns, two silkie hens, and then three roosters, one older silkie, one small Japanese bantam, and then another silkie male who has just reached the maturity that he is starting to mate. All my hens were fine up until...

    Rooster can't walk. Help

    It is possible he got into something that my dog may have dragged out of the compost pile and left somewhere in the yard. The only thing is that for the past four days his paralysis has only been apparent in his legs. I have been feeding with the eye dropper some vitamins that a friend gave me...

    Rooster can't walk. Help

    He is probably 8 or 9 months old. His crop is still really full from yesterday where he ate a lot of raisins and corn and he also got tube fed once aswell. I have no idea if he was given any shots as a chick because I have had him a little less than a month now. I really hope it's not mereks. :(

    Rooster can't walk. Help
