    Limping silkie

    My Silkie recently started limping. I checked her foot and one of the toes is swollen and warm. I soaked in epsom salt and found a tiny scab at the tip of the toe just under the nail. I soaked it off. The toenail also looks either broken down or smaller than on the healthy foot. There is no...

    Need help to identify external parasites

    I could use some help from someone who has experience with chicken parasites, as I do not. Looks like sand in our Silkies’ feathers. These are eggs i’m assuming? Highest concentration is at their lower backs. Thanks for any help!

    Let her be broody?

    Will a broody hen snap out of it eventually if you let nature take its course? Or do I need to intervene?

    Unusual poops from chicken who has been drinking moldy water

    Hi there. I posted this morning about my two 26 week old silkies. I am new to chickens and read that ACV keeps mold from growing in the chicken's water.

    Help! Moldy Water!

    I read that adding ACV to the chicken waterer would prevent things from growing in it. I filled the waterer (it is a nipple waterer) about a month ago with a splash of raw ACV. When I went to clean and refill it last night the inside was covered in black mold. I feel HORRIBLE! My poor chickens...

    New chicken mama questions

    Hi there! I'm new to "backyard chickens", and also to chickens in general. I have 2 silkies that will be 7 weeks tomorrow. They spend the day outside in an enclosure. When I bring them in for the night they always go cuckoo on me! They seem very anxious and distresssed- cheaping loudly and both...
