    Eyes Wide Shut

    I got an order from Cackle Thursday. Two blue silkies were DOA, then a third died Friday night. Also last night I found a blue polish with what must have been a broken neck. It was awful and I culled it immediately. Maybe she jumped on the heater plate and fell off on her head. I’m sad to have...

    Help! Droopy wings and blood from cloaca

    (photo before bath) I found my ~11 week old pullet with droopy wings and blood on one of her wings from being pecked on by the 6 eight month olds. The wing didn’t look bad enough for her sickly appearance, but then I noticed her vent was white and bloody. The hens needed water. Two days prior...
