    Silkie with light feet? Help!!

    Referral from a local milling store. I had to google it - splash silkies can have yellow or white beaks and feet but their skin should be black.

    Silkie chicks not silkie looking

    Wry neck and crop problems

    My hen got wry neck and I isolated and used vitamins but in the meantime, took a toilet paper roll, made a few cuts on either end to spread the ends out and slipped it on like a neck brace. It worked overnight!
