    Red Pyle Silkie Breeding

    First off let me say that I'm in Mexico and my ability to import birds is nil. Getting them flown in from other parts of the country is about all I can do and even that is hard. I contacted supposedly the best silkie breeder in the country and he currently has two cockerels. One is a 9 month...

    Lice and ivermectin

    Hello! I just found a louse on two of my chickens. They don't appear super infested, but I want to nip that in the bud. I have Adecto ivermectin injectable for dogs, at a 1% solution. I have adults and juveniles. Most are Silkies, but there are a couple of Silkie mixes, two super tiny bantam...

    Feather sexing Polish chicks?

    I think I read that Polish can't be feather sexed. But I hatched two today and I'm almost positive they're male and female according to wing feathers. Is this a thing in Polish? Suspected male first with yellow wing. Suspected female with white wing.

No other symptoms, clear eyes, clear nose no discharge, etc just a slight lethargy and slowness to eat on the chick's part. I don't want this to progress, but absolutely cannot afford a...

    Can calcium deficiency cause paralysis in button quail?

    One of my button quail hens, I don't know who, laid a partially soft shelled egg a few days ago. I mixed crushed eggshells in with the feed (turkey starter, Campi brand) and thought that was enough but yesterday my button hen Stormy's legs were partially paralyzed, progressing to full paralysis...

    Sexing Silkies - Comb Area Shape Method

    Hello! I seem to remember seeing something about the shape of the bare comb area on a newborn silkie chick being a good indicator of sex, but I can't remember if a more pointed shape means male and a more square shape a female, or vice versa! Any help, please? Also read something about the...

    Silkie mix colors - possible sex link or just coincidence?

    My red mutt roo mated my white Silkie hens. So far, 6 chicks have hatched out, with 1 more on the way. Of the hatched ones, all but 2 are sort of a light golden brown color, whereas the other two are a darker golden brown with one wide and two narrow chocolate stripes on the back, running...

    AI questions

    I got a pair of adult Silkie hens right after getting a young roo. The hens never accepted him. They attack him, so I let my non bantam mutt roo mate them since my Silkie was too young anyway and they accepted him. Now that Elvis, the silkie roo, is crowing, though, I want his chicks. I'm...

    Freshly hatched Silkie mix chick wants to be upside down

    This baby was a long time hatching. When he did hatch he had the teeniest bit of yolk still, attached to part of the membrane in the egg. He's now still wet and rather active but seems to have more strength in his right leg than his left which he does also move but it's a jerky weak movement and...

    My favorite chick is sick - please help!

    Help please! I have two days-old Silkie mix chicks. The first one to hatch took two or so days to learn to eat properly, I worried because her poops were a red color and kind of gelatinous but she ate well, moved well etc so I let it pass. Today though she seems lethargic, sad, won't eat and...

    Getting Button Quail eggs

    I live in Mexico and am trying to get my hands on button quail eggs. It's hard, though! No one seems to know what they are and those that do attacked me for it. They said I was being cheap by wanting eggs and not adults, that they only lay once a year and nobody would sell me their eggs. I don't...
