These silkies are about three months old. They came from show quality birds. I was wondering if you could help me sex them.
First silkie: Buff (No comb and is the smallest)
Second Silkie: 1 week older Black
Third silkie: Splash (Single comb has been developing since it was tiny)...
Yeah I read that article but they didn't say for how long or what fogging the bird's face meant. Was it a dense fog inside the cage or could you only see the stream of mist coming from the humidifier?
So my hen has a problem with her lungs. She gurgles when she breathes and it becomes worse when she is stressed or breathing heavily from flapping her wings. She has a healthy appetite and never refuses food. She is a silky and ever since she started the lung gurgle she has lost her fluff and...
I want to use the oxine to treat a respiratory problem in one of my pullets but I dont want to buy a whole gallon of oxine for one bird. I checked for other products that contain chlorine dioxide and there are some tablets used for treating water I can use but I'm not sure if it's effectiveness...

She is a little over a year old now and it has been going on for about a month. It has been really hot but could that really cause her breathing problems? When should i be really concerned? I don't plan on giving her a bath for awhile (way too wet and messy) but I'll be sure to look into that if...
I have 2 chickens that will do the egg song occasionally after laying and egg and I have 3 that just go in and do their business w/o a bok otherwise. It just depends on the chicken and her mood.
My hen has been having a really hard time breathing when she is stressed. Last week I gave her a bath and I swear she was going to die because her breathing was so horrible. She was gasping for air and I kept hearing this raspy noise. She is somewhat fine now but her breathing worsens when she...
This is my first time hatching eggs under a broody. At first we only had one broody hen that was incubating the eggs until yesterday when the rest of my hens decided to join in and sit on the eggs. So there is a total of 4 hens in two nesting boxes half of them sitting on all of the eggs and the...
