I have 16 4 month olds trying to merge them with my 3 one month old bantams, one of the bantams is a sultan the other two are silkies. I had to pull the sultan out as the silkiesnwere pecking his head to bleeding point. When I try to put him back in they keep pecking him even though his head...
one of my bantams a little silkie was sick a while back, bubbly eyes crusted over. he is about 3 weeks old, anyway, nursed him back to health with antibiotics and vitamins including my daughters left over pink eye meds, anyway it seemed to work his eyes are clear, he is eating and drinking...
well not sure this is the place to post this but here goes. We have 16 three month old chickens. They free range in the day and I put them in a larger brooder at night until my husband gets off his duff to get that coop built. Well they like to currently hang out on my back porch during the...
Okay I got Sulmet, electrolytes, and antibiotics.... now what do i do with them, the dosage is for large usage can anyone break it down, I don't want to mix the electrolytes because there is no way i can use that many gallons,,,, will read the Sulmet, going to try that first before antibiotics.
2 chicks dead, cocidioisis, I think. 4 chicks left... now silkie has developed leaky bubbly eye, treated with olive leaf oil /water...picking up antibiotics, kinda freaking out because these are kids pets, i don't want something spread to my working flock, although these guys are indoors they...

my kids are holding this little guy, he is just a week and a few days. i always thought he may be sick, as he was most calm of our six new guys. but found him on his side today, a little crust around his beak, he is still alive but barely. eyes are closed and breathing slow heart slow...
posted a few things but haven't properly introduced myself. My family and I just moved to the 3 acre farm that I grew up in. We just added two separate flocks, my first flock of 2 month old mixed, BO, RR, Acona, Americana, and my second flock of ornamental silkies, WCPolish, Belgium quail...
i got a white silkie for my 8 year old, she loves her very much but she just saw pictures of silkies with a huge wart like thing on their beaks or heads.... i tried to research what this was, and it seems some have it and some don't, does anyone have any insight to this? she was kind of grossed...
we got it at a feed store, I do know it is a bantam, 4 toes, clean legs, very calm, bigger than my silkies, polish and sultan.... forgot to ask the man what it was!! lol.
not sure how to do pictures, but I am giving it a try.
posted earlier, my first post ever and not one person knows what to do? or is there a link to this already i am missing? what do i do? she won't use that leg and is 5 weeks old, it looks like it sustained some sort of injury, she is eating and drinking. can a chicken live on with one leg?
looks like one of my little five week old's has a broken or lame leg, looks like there was some sort of injury I don't know what but it is curled up and she isn't using it, she hops on one leg, will she survive with just one leg? she is still eating and drinking and staying with the flock...
