    URGENT - FLOPPY NECK - PLEASE HELP

    Thank you so much for your help dlhunicorn, Vera's condition was just like the link - there was even a video link to watch, but I think my chick's condition was worse because when I arrived home from work earlier today she had passed away. Thanx again for your quick reply.

    URGENT - FLOPPY NECK - PLEASE HELP

    I let my 9 week silkie chicks out this morning and Vera (although I now think shes a he) looked like she had a broken neck - her head just hangs there. We brought her in and within 10 minutes she was standing and chirping. I thought perhaps she had knocked herself dazed in her scramble to run...

    concreted vent

    Can someone please help me? I'm not really sure what my chick has but I'll try to explain: My chick is a 5 week old silkie - I bought the fertilized eggs from the Internet and hatched them myself - everything has been going wonderful until about 4 days ago I noticed one of them (I'll refer to...

    Silkies 4 week old *PIC HEAVY*

    Thought I'd post some new pics of my silkie chicks - they are 4 weeks old now and all seem to be doing really well: They love to be outside when it's warm and are spending more and more time in the garden: Checkout Pumpkin fast asleep while still on her feet - it was funny to watch her eyes...

    Does this mean I have a roo

    I'm really really hoping Chrystal is a girl - she's sat on my knee now and every time i put her back she jumps out (i've left the door open) and comes to me - Fingers crossed she's an exception to the rule too - and I've forgiven her for pecking me and she hasn't done it once since i posted this...

    My silkies are 1 month old *pics*

    Quote: If your buff one is like mine (the one on the right) I'm sure it will turn out white see pics at 1 week then 3 week - she's getting whiter all the time (we gotta think of a name change now though - we called her Buffy lol) - not sure about your speckled one though:

    Does this mean I have a roo

    kodiakchicken - I have never seen any of them picking on each other or pecking each other - only the odd chest butting but even that is only when I get them all out to have a bomb around and I think this is just excitement and playing. I always try to give them things to do - like bury bits of...

    Does this mean I have a roo

    It doesn't hurt at all - and the pecking didn't bother me at all - but the springing off of my hand with both feet - was he/she trying to claw me? I'm not sure what that's all about?

    Does this mean I have a roo

    But what about the aggression - the pecking and clawing? do girls do this also? thanx for your replies.

    Does this mean I have a roo

    I have 7 silkie chicks (almost 4 weeks old now) - I'm wondering if the behaviour of one of them points to it being a roo: When I first hatched them it was the first born and was always the most friendly and loved to come for a cuddle, he/she still is the most forward and always does everything...

    silkie chicks - 3 week old in the sun *PICS*

    Yes it's amazing how much they have grown - they seem to change a little every day - but I really don't mind, I thought I'd want them to stay babies forever but now I can't wait for them to get all big and gonky!!

    silkie chicks - 3 week old in the sun *PICS*

    Hi all - thought I'd post some more picks of my chicks - we've had some fantastic weather over the last few days so we quickly knocked up a run so that they could have some fun in the sun for a few hours - and boy did they scream when we brought em back in: What's this funny stuff we're stood...

    Silkie chicks moving up *pic heavy*

    I got the fertilized eggs from 2 different sellers on ebay - ordered 6 whites and 6 coloured - 8 hatched (5 coloured and 3 whites) but one white one died at a week old - so I now got 7 and they all seem to be doing well. - so yes I'm proud to say I hatched them myself and we are really bonding .
