Soooo I have a flock of silkie chickens whom were hatched from a friends incubator. One of the hens finally went broody! After 2 attempts, around 10-12 eggs, and over a month and a half later a single small grey chick with a black line on its head and back (it looked like it had a cute mullet)...
My young hen is sick and these are some of the stuff that has happened to my hen:
-Cheeks are swollen
-Layers of snot sticking to the beak
-Yellow goo in and around the eye
-And almost blind
I have noticed that the eye of one of my chickens is almost completely closed and it also looks like its crying from it! She is 5 months old and I don't know what to do pls help!
In April of 2024, I bought 11 beautiful Silkie Chicks, but I didn't know if they were male or female. And after four months , two of them started to crow and I finally decided to see which ones are roosters and which ones are hens, and after 15 minutes of looking at them, there were only 3 hens...
