    Throwing head back to breathe?

    My 4 month old silkie chick just started wheezing a little bit today, and she's been breathing with her beak open and throwing her head back. She's also sleepier than normal and has barely eaten anything. She's drinking well though. I don't really want to put her on anything else since she's...

    Selenium for wry neck

    I just got liquid selenium for my 4 month silkie to help her absorb all the vitamin E she's getting, but I have no way of measuring the correct dosage. I know selenium is highly toxic if a chicken gets too much. The bottle has a dropper but no labels. Anyone have any advice? I'm supposed to give...

    Going broody or normal?

    My 7 month old silkie/polish cross first started laying about a month ago. At first it was irregular, but recently I've been getting an egg a day. Almost have a dozen! Anyway, a few days ago she started to greet me in the mornings with a raptor noise that sounds like the angry noises a broody...

    Pressure Sores or Infection?

    The silkie chick I'm treating for severe wry neck has these discolored spots in some places. I thought they were from her lice infestation but now that all the lice are gone, these spots have scabbed over but not gone away. She hasn't been able to stand or walk for a little over 2 weeks. I just...

    First Egg!!!

    So my silkie/polish cross finally laid her very first egg at 6 and a half months! It was smaller and a different color than what I was expecting, but other than that it was normal. She's been singing the egg song in the mornings for awhile now. Glad it won't be a lie anymore lol. Cambria...

    Help with Nutri-Drench and lice

    I was wondering how many mL of nutri-drench to give my 3 month old silkie chick. Her wry neck has been getting worse, though she only seems uncomfortable when getting ready to sleep. She is a little over a pound. Also, does anyone have some tips on how to get rid of lice snd their egg sacs...

    Chick twisting head around

    Something is wrong with my baby silkie. She's twisting her head around and was having a hard time walking. How do I help her? She's lethargic too, but reacts to stimulus and can pick her head up.

    What does this mean?

    So my 5 month old silkie/polish cross started to make weird purring/growling sounds and won't move. It's been at least ten minutes. The chicks started to do it too. Should I be worried? Everything was fine before.

    My Four Chickens

    This is Cambria, my 5 month old bearded silkie/polish cross. She's a bit of a foodie and will peck my hands to see if I have any treats for her. I don't actually know if she or any of my chickens are females yet, but fingers crossed. ~ This is Blizzard, my non-bearded silkie/polish cross...

    Help with genders

    So I'm new to owning chickens and got three young chicks. They're all about 2 months. I know sexing is difficult but other opinions would be helpful. I'm the most curious about the pure silkie (grey). Also, any ideas about what other breed is mixed in with the middle chick? She doesn't look like...
