    Pekin pullet stunted growth, runs in an unusual way

    My pekin pullet Marshmallow is 5 months old, and is ridiculously small compared to 9 month old, smaller than pictures of other Pekins her age, her feathers are dull and she acts like she's depressed all the time.

    Lame silkie

    My 5 month old silkie pullet isn't walking properly and she had a pasty butt, she can move each leg and wing but when she tries to walk she goes wobbly and falls over, she ate a little food but doesn't seem interested in it. I cleaned up her vent and it doesn't look blocked, what could be wrong?

    can a Silkie hen raise a Turkey?

    I was given a turkey egg that was headed for the garbage and my smallest silkie hen claimed it, i'm just wondering how a turkey will go being raised by a tiny chicken, will it be happy or does it need to be with other turkeys? I probably sound like a flake but I swear i'm not! lol
