I have never understood the mentality its just a chicken. Just because you didn't spend a lot to buy it doesn't mean you love or appreciate them any less then another type of animal especially if you think of them as pets. If you can afford it and it makes you happy take them to a vet.

I am willing to bring him to you. And will post a pic if wanted.

My silkie rooster is 5 mths old just started crowing. He is friendly and will allow you to pick him up. Does not seem too bright, may be the feathers blocking his eyes or something else. I have another male and do not want them to start fighting, they keep setting each other off very noisy...

Put a vit./mineral powder in her water 2 days ago and now she is doing really well. Much feistier and only 1 sneeze while I was out there. Yeah so happy.

does anyone think it could be worms. The were worms listed on the website that lived in the lungs and could cause respitory issues.

Thanks cool website I will definatly keep an eye out for any distress.

One of my new 5 mth old chickens is sneezing. She did go into a hut with older hay that when I cleaned out was moldy. She has no obvious discharge and seems perky. The sneeze like noise does seem to be aggrivated by me catching her. I have put Vetric on her and put Vitiman/MIneral/probiotic...

Thanks every one I really like this Chicken and want to keep it. Once we are able to catch her she is very sweet and lets us hold her in our laps.

heres another pic see very pointy neck feathers.

I bought this as a female but after looking through all these what sex is this posts I am thing boy.

I like that answer

I got her yesterday, well I hope its a she. 4-5 mths old very sweet but the streaming tail feathers have me wondering if maybe its male. I believe its an Easter Egger. The lighter one was sold as an Ameracauna.

Congratulations on your first eggs. Did you ever think before you had chickens you would be so excited over an egg. He He.

Thanks I think I need to go to the store see if they have that and chick saver.

O thanks so much I worry about the other ones now and do not want to become neurotic. At least I am getting lots of exercise runny up and down the stairs.

Thanks everyone for your help. I tired almost all the tricks and she never tried to eat on her own. Now I have a pretty good bag of tricks up my sleeve and that makes me more confident. Lets hope i manage to keep the other ones healthy. My 4 year old is taking this very well thank goodness. I...

The other babies are doing great but I am down to 2. One piggy silkie (that is a breed right,she never stops eating) and a Bantom not sure what kind yellow with a couple black spots. I am afraid I will end up with 2 boys so I think I am going to pick up a few more chicks.

She was dead when I went down stairs to check not looking forward to telling my daughter another chick past away. When do you get to take a breather, it seems like if I am not down there all the time something aweful happens. She was the only one that had not scared me and now 1 week later...

Thats what I was afraid of. We only started with 4 and not that its easier when you have a lot but being left with only 2 babies would be a big bummer. It doesn't help that my 4 year old is gonna cry as well. My husband thinks we should pick up a few more but its really hard on me when I wait up...
