Yes, I mix it with some liquid electrolites I got at our local feed store!

She doesn't eat...she wants too....but I am feeding her myself. Not sure how much longer I can feed her/keep her in my kitchen. She is getting a teensy tiny bit every day so hoping shes just taking her sweet time after the trauma. I just bought some gerber baby cereal and mixed it with...

I have called vets around here and no one sees chickens!!? It's crazy...I live in the semi country so I would think they would all! The baytril seems to be working though! The wound is closed up and no more putrid smell. I'm on the 5th day and have 5 days left. As for hearing wheezing...I kind...

I am giving her one tab of Baytril twice a day! About half of it doesn't make it in her mouth since she hates taking anything :/

What I am most worried about is that her mouth is open, when she tries to eat she just bangs her beak into the food...without getting anything. And her tongue stays at the roof of her mouth. Also, I have been feeding her by either pouring in her liquids or using a syringe with applesauce or...

Wow so sorry about the long post... Even tried to make it short... :/

I have been reading up as much as I can but it seems like when it comes to attacks, it's so different case by case. Long story short, my silkie was attacked last tuesday. She looked traumatized and her eyes were shut but otherwise didn't see any open cuts. (i should have turned her over and...

Luckily we live in South Texas so we consider snow a really really nice surprise every couple of years ;) I think I'll go check it out and then I thinking I could also build another one, either the same one or another plan, down the road if it seems too small or I get more hens. One on one side...

Thank you for your help! We have a lot of room out here so they will have plenty space inside and outside the run. And I'm guessing 2 nest areas is ok as well? I just thought they all needed their own! :/ Really need to learn a few things before these chicks come!

Hi! I'm new to this site so maybe a dumb question but I want to get 5 silkies in the next couple of months and need a coop...There is one being sold locally for $200 and I posted the link below. I still have to assemble it, or my husband does ;) But it seems nice. In your opinion, would this...
