Thank you. I am going to feel terrible if I have to take kids away. She has worked so hard . But I don't want sick or dead babies and I am going to use poultry dust. I want these bugs gone
Ok guys I kinda have a question . I have a silkie out there on her nest with 2 babies hatched this morning and last I looked 2 more pipped and 2 unpipped eggs. I was out there this morning watching and listening to the chicks and I was tinkering with mammas feathers and I saw what looks to be...
I am nervous that she won't lay back on her eggs? Should I just remove the now 2 babies and put the rest of the eggs in the bator? Will DE work for killing lice? And can I add it to the babies?
Ok so I feel like I'm in a pickle. I have my broody mamma here who is sitting on 8 eggs and one has already hatched but while sitting here petting her I noticed she has lice. When can I treat her and can I the babies also?
Ok I have my first broody and she's a silkie. I got her a little over a month ago with her husband and 4 kids. I took her kids and put them in their own pen. And she has layed 19 eggs for me. 11 went to the bator and then she layed 6 and then went what I think is broody. She hasn't gotten off...

I probably did look like a nut job out there swearing with a rake in hand . And he is a silkie so it probably looked like I was arguing with the air. Lol
Ok. So I think I need to stop reading things on here. I usually read the new posts every morning with my coffee. Well I came across one about roosters flogging. Well I have had a very persistent roo that likes to test me. Well this morning when I let them out of their coops he decided to...
I've looked her up and down and see nothing. I pulled the hair out of her eyes and still nothing. I left for a while today and came back and it seems as if it's worse. So I gave her polyvisol. I will keep doing it to see if it helps. I've learned that chicken owning is not always a piece of...
I have three silkies that are 2 months old. The last few days I noticed that 1 of them has been twitching her head. Its weird. She isn't sick she eats and drinks. Wondering if polyvisol will help
I am so excited! My first silkie hen has 4 eggs in her nest! She has layed 4 eggs over the course of 5 days! I wonder how many more she will lay before she sits on them :)
