Lost my partridge rooster to a predator a few nights ago. He came from hatching eggs from Steve Wheat and was a very good quality. In fact he was my best silkie and just gorgeous. :( I am just sick about it.
So, please PM me if you have one for sale, or even hatching eggs if they are SQ...
An online friend sent me this email. She and her sister have had chickens a few years and commonly add new chickens. Here is what she says:
"The chickens are dying. Lost 3 yesterday with another one on the way out and more that are starting to look sick. It seems to start with one eye...
These are adult silkies. One rooster has had this and has now infected some of my other chickens. Several have died.
Does anyone know what this is? I'm really worried now.
