    Baby silkie cross Plymouth Rock sick

    Thanks for the quick responses! She is eating and drinking when I wake her up, and have separated her from the other chicks in a warm box inside with light. Spose it’s a waiting game. Will try the scrambled eggs! She is eating pasta and her food moistened with warm water. Is coccidiosis deadly?

    Some only have 4 toes...is this a definite sign the Plymouth Rock mated with her?

    Is my chick a silkie?!

    True, will have to see! We didn’t think it would be possible for a silkie and Plymouth Rock baby to survive in the silkie egg as it’s so small and our Plymouth is huge!

    Is my chick a silkie?!

    Our silkie has just hatched 10chicks..we have 2 roosters a Plymouth Rock and silkie although we never saw the Plymouth mate with her. A few of the chicks have hairy feet and are grey then the majority are yellow with clean feet. Can silkies be born without fluffy feet? Thanks!

    Guinea fowl hatching!

    Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately our chickens are too young to be broody and we don't have an incubator so we thought we'd leave it to nature...and nature won. Something came in the night and ate all 15 eggs...no evidence left what so ever, no idea what took it!!
