We ordered 75 chicks from Meyers hatchery and had all of them vaccinated for merecks. They are now 8 weeks old, and one of our white rocks is incredibly wobbly and can barely get around. She is still eating normally, but closes her eyes a lot. No one else is acting like this. Even though she was...
I once did this before, and against all odds our dog survived a terminal disease. Now I come to you again seeking prayers and good wishes. Our dearly beloved horse Monty is suffering from a mysterious illness, and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who slipped him into their prayers. The...
Our little husky boy Cisco is need of prayers right now. He was diagnosed with Evans Disease, and is fighting for his life. His immune system is attacking his red blood cells, causing major problems. He is in good sprits, but we are all sick with worry. We love him so incredibly much, and are in...

Silkie x Rhode Island Red Hatching Eggs
I am excited to offer hatching eggs from my silkie x rhode island reds! They are all 70% silkie, 30% RIR, and 100% adorable and sweet. They have the silkies personality, five toes, and most have the classical silkie feathers. They...
I am looking to re home my bantam silkie cross rooster to a good home where he wont be eaten!!! I hatched him (on Christmas morning :) ), raised him, and love him dearly but I already have two other roosters and only six hens, so he needs some new ladies to protect and love! He is solid black...
I went outside this morning and my little 5 month old silkie hen was limping heavily on her right foot. I picked her up and saw no wounds or blood, and her toes are all in order with no bumble foot. I am worried, she is my little sweet heart that follows me around every where. I have no idea...
Newly hatched chick nocked over water and now the newspaper that the other 17 eggs are sitting on is soaked. Are the eggs ok or could they have drowned?
This is my first time hatching and so far it's been sos so. I have my broody hen Sushi sitting on eight eggs and have 12 inside my homemade Styrofoam incubator. They are all silkie's that have a dollop of Rhode Island Red in their family tree. Sushi is currently inside the coop, but I woke up...
So my sweet Silkie cross hen Sushi has gone broody and is sitting on about 10 eggs. Being so small I'm scared that she's not big enough to sit on them all so I have decided to make a incubator out of an aquarium. The outside is wrapped in bubble wrap for installation, the front opening has a...
My poor little silkie rhode island red cross rooster named Tucky is having comb issues. His normally big red comb has turned slightly white and is peeling. It also has little black things on it that look almost like scabs. None of my other chickens are having these problems, but I want to be...
I just got my six silkie hens three days ago and I have noticed that they have all started sneezeing. They also have runny brown poop. They are still eating and drinking but I am starting to get worried! This is my first time having chickens, so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
I just purchased my six silkie hens from a breeder. She was just giving them wild bird seed and Purina layers feed. I am giving them Purinas layena feed in the morning and a handful of wild bird seed in the evening. I offer them grit and oyster shells free choice and they get scrapes every day...
I am new the wonderful world of chickens and just got my six silkie hens three days ago. My Grandfather built me a custom chicken coop that has a 11ft by 4ft run with a roomy coop that they have to use a ramp to go up into with a very big door. When the girls arrived I put them inside the coop...
