Hello. I need some help! I have a sweet little silkie who has been pretty sick lately. Case history: Poop started to get very watery about a month ago. She laid a couple eggs with paper thin shells then stopped laying completely. Vet did poop sample and saw bacteria and yeast, gave Flagyl...

Update on this post! Turns out one of the three chicks was a boy, one was a girl, and it appears that one is a hermaphrodite! Thekla has features of hermaphrodite barred rocks, including feather color between male and female, early spur development. I had given Thekla to a friend who has a...

Hello, I'm a first time chick mommy. I have three chicks, and the man I got them from told me that they are likely to be females because of black coloring on their legs and a white spot on their heads. They are about 4 weeks old, and I'm pretty confident that one is a pullet. She has mostly...
