    Silkie/Polish chicken

    I think my biggest fear is it being something treatable. Like my husband and i just got home and she was trying to grip his fingers with her toes... i will probably take her to our local animal hospital, they'll take care of all of it for me. They don't charge anything for it either. Ill get...

    And they were vaccinated. I did that when they were younger. I made sure to do that.

    Silkie/Polish chicken

    My husband and i looked at mareks to see if maybe it was the first night when we noticed she was sick and it wasn't that. If she isn't better by tomorrow when i get home from church ill ask my husband to put her down. I do not have the heart to do that. I've made her as comfortable as possible...

    Silkie/Polish chicken

    Both her legs are paralyzed it seems, she keeps panting, she does a low growl every once in awhile and she isnt moving for anything and if i pick her up, both legs just dangle and her wings drop. She keeps trying to bend her neck backwards. I think maybe when the Roo was trying to learn to ride...

    Silkie/Polish chicken

    My silkie/polish chicken has been having a hard time standing. She has been eating and drinking just fine. She can manage to get around but for some reason her legs go into a split and she holds her neck funny. I am not sure what is going on. I have put vitamins in her water and this is the...

    Silkie Hen

    Good morning! I have a few questions... My silkie hen has been acting like she is sitting, but no eggs. I take them away from her and she still sits in her nest. I pick her up and she runs around outside the coop for a bit and then she goes right back. She is eating and drinking. Just not being...

    Chicken questions!

    One of the roos in pen has seizures. I am not even sure if that one is a rooster or a hen. It does not crow. It sits, but it has not laid eggs. It does not bother anyone and no one bothers it. In fact, they all help that one when it has an episode. The one I know is a hen, she doesn't get messed...

    Chicken questions!

    Eggs?

    My birds are between the ages of 6 months to 2 years. So some are new to laying and others have been laying for a while now. However I just rescued a bunch of them from someone and my original ones I've only had for 6 months.

    Eggs?

    I'm located in GA. The food is always available to them. It's a bag I get from our local feed store. It's the only one they carry.

    Eggs?

    Yes & no they shells are thick. They have their own bowl of oyster shells to eat from whenever they please, I was told that was the best thing to do with that

    Eggs?

    That's weird we gather eggs daily and check 4 times a day because we dont want them to get smashed. But thank you! I will toss it!! I'm careful about our eggs. My friends mama had a chicken who got a taste of egg and would eat them after that, so I'm careful about checking and often.

    Sick chick

    I watched her and contacted the old breeder, he said she had been that way from birth, so I put her outside in a separate coop she seemed to be a lot happier, so I put her in with two of my other chickens who were rescued and they're all doing very well together. Which is why I have not posted...
