    Possibly Eggbound Silkie

    Hi, I noticed my smallest silkie seemed to be in distress tonight. She had been sitting in her nesting box for several hours, I checked her earlier this afternoon and she was in the box and got puffy when I opened the hatch. When I went to tuck them in for the night I did not see her...

    Lost our smallest chick

    My daughter just called me hysterical to say that she had found our smallest chick, Marshmallow, dead. She was one of our silkies and even though she was eating and drinking, she just didn't seem to be growing or as active as the others.

    Pasty Butt

    I'm a newbie and I have a question about pasty butt. Some of my chicks seem to have it pretty bad. We had them on the sav-a-chick when we first got them and have since moved them over to ACV but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Should I also be giving them probiotics? If so can I give...

    How do I add info about my chicks under my posts

    I've noticed that some users post have info about their animals. How do I set my profile up so that I can add info as well?
