My silklies are 18 weeks I thought I had a boy and a girl as one had steamers was much bigger and the other had a rounded crest and no streamers but today I noticed a couple streamers at the back! What do you think?
Hi all, yet another poorly chicken, this silkie (6 weeks) seems ok in the day but at night she can’t get back to the coup walks backwards and her head goes backwards/upside down. I’ve been giving vitamin e supplement and she seems ok in the day but as soon as night comes she’s like this. Any ideas?
Hello, my 3 week white Campbell duck can’t walk I think he’s always been a bit wobbly but I didn’t notice quick enough and last few days he seems to be getting worse and barely stands now. He’s eating and drinking as I’m hand feeding him, I’m pretty sure Its niacin defiency but I’ve been giving...
My day old hatched duckling didn’t absorb all of egg yolk but had to assist as it was pipping wrong end and no progress after 48 hours. He’s was very weak but today seems stronger but very sleepy and not really eating or drink or standing much. I gave home a little examination to check for pasty...

The egg seller is convinced this is from his flock of speckled Sussex but every time I post saying about it people say it’s not a speckled Sussex that it looks more like a jubilee Orpington! I don’t mind either way but curious! I’ve attached a picture of the chickens the eggs apparently came from!
My little buff Orpington is sick I noticed today she seemed quiet and sleeps a lot but this evening she’s not owning her eyes at all or really moving. She was the first to hatch and was doing ok or so I thought until I put the others in with her. I think she may have got dehydrated and hungry...
