    Chicken having trouble walking and eating

    A few days ago, we noticed one of our chickens with a bit of a limp. The source seeming to be a minor injury, we washed and bandaged it. The next day, her condition had gotten much worse and she couldn't stand upright. We've had her inside since then and the issue doesn't seem to be going away...

    Feathers covering eyes?

    The other day we noticed one of our hens, Valentine, seemed to be having some minor vision troubles. We gave her a look and it doesn't seem like there's a problem with the eyes themselves, and she can focus well, so we're wondering if this might be the result of her facial feathers. How likely...

    Silkie Eye Trouble

    There is a Silkie chicken in my flock called Loongu. She's beginning to get old, I think she's at least 6-7 years. (She's the chicken in my profile picture) Recently, when I picked her up, I noticed that one of her eyes had gone cloudy, and was a milky white. She didn't seem to be able to see...

    Chickens Having Issues Bending Leg

    I have quite a large flock of chickens, and for a while now (~2 weeks) one of our older hens (Georgette) has been having trouble bending one of her legs, and it's causing her a lot of trouble moving. We first thought that she'd simply sprained her leg, and it should heal after a while, but...

    Baby Trapped In Mother's Feathers

    One of our Silkies, Emperor, recently had four babies, and due to the cold right now where we live, we decided to keep them inside. This morning when I checked on them, one of our babies had gotten completely stuck in their mother's feathers. It took quite a while to get them unstuck. Last time...

    Chickens Face Backwards while on my Shoulder

    Title says it all. Recently, I've been getting my chickens calmer around me by putting them on my shoulder. They always respond by turning to face behind me. This has happened with three different chickens. Any ideas why?

    What do you call Silkie "head-fluff"?

    I'm almost certain there's no dictionary word for the little puff of fluff on a Silkie's head, but I'm just wondering what some Silkie owners call it? I myself call it a "head-poff".

    Odd Place In The Pecking Order

    I have a chicken named Loongu (fluffy black Silkie in my profile picture), and she's pretty weird. One of her oddest quirks is how she's treated by other chickens. She absolutely never gets into dominance fights, but she gets out of the way of higher ranked chickens, and no chicken ever even...

    Odd White Feather

    My favourite Silkie, Loongu (my profile picture), is a pure black Silkie. And yet she has one white feather on the back of her head. She's currently around 5-6 years old, and that white feather appeared 6-12 months ago. It wasn't really a "problem" so I didn't report it online. But now that I...

    Duckling with swollen neck

    We have a lot of chickens, mostly Silkies, and recently our neighbour gave us some duck eggs. The oldest duckling, Quip, is about 2-3 months old, and we've brought them inside with their adopted mother to keep them safe after they received an injury (which has been healing nicely), but for 4...
