    Is this a silkie or silkie mix?

    Ah, maybe. I also didn't know NN is a breed. I thought it was a trait like the frizzle. I don't know much about breeds etc. 😲

    Is this a silkie or silkie mix?

    I'll start by saying I don't know if pure silkies can come as frizzled. She does have 5 toes. I don't have pics of the feet. Legs are feathered as well.

    🪶☕ the cochin café: Cochin Lovers’ Thread ☕🐔

    Got my Dottie (black mottled) a friend since her bestie orpington passed away. Dottie mourned her pretty hard. Hopefully this new cutie and Dot bond. New girl is beautiful and needs a name!

    Bump behind eye?

    Thank you everyone! It's hard to lose any, but this site is such a blessing! I'll definitely do a necropsy if another bird comes down with anything similar. The only one who notices Greycie is gone is her bff Dottie. Poor Dot keeps checking for her in the coop. Im considering getting her a...

    Bump behind eye?

    That is the most plausible explanation I've read. It gives me some relief. Thank you! She will be missed.

    Bump behind eye?

    Well Greycie passed away last night. She developed a gargle sound all day yesterday with some gasping motions. Stopped putting herself in the coop at night (I picked her up and placed her inside) and lost balance worse. But she ate till the very end.

    URGENT! HELP! Sick Silkie Roo 6 months old!

    Following as my pullet is like this nearly to the T. Have you checked him for mites? Its what I'm sure caused my pullet to decline so badly. She was covered. I treated her as best I could, but she's still off acting. Hopefully with extra love and care our birds will bounce back!

    Bump behind eye?

    Cleaned her bum yesterday evening and noticed red mites on her. Perhaps thats the issue? She still is wobbly, cant roost and seems tired a lot. I sprinkled some permethrin powder on her as best I could. But wasn't happy with its coverage. Then noticed one of my buffs has black scabs on her...

    Bump behind eye?

    Is it possible the bump on her eye infected something else? It doesn't look all that bad

    Bump behind eye?

    Well she took a turn for the worse. Please can someone tell me what is going on? She suddenly has a VERY poopy bum, stands with her tail held to one side and falls over when she walks. She talks, eats and drinks otherwise. Ive wormed her before. Around a month ago.

    Bump behind eye?

    It feels soft. I'm reluctant to open it. But the white color worries me that infection is inside.

    Bump behind eye?

    Is it pox? It doesn't look exactly like pox to me.

    Bump behind eye?

    Now what? Yeeesh. This pullet is always to some degree not quite right. Be it a sneeze every so often, a gurgling cough only once in 10 minutes or her eye that she always kept slightly closed. I've treated her eye with ointment, her cough with MG meds and now her eye finally seems better so...

    Ant bite, brumble foot or cut?

    Thank you! What a relief. I have noticed what looked to be ant bites on this pullets feet a while ago. But as soon as I got concerned, they calmed down. I sprinkle lime dust in the run occasionally to battle ants, but sometimes the ants still linger.

    Ant bite, brumble foot or cut?

    One of my pullets has this scab on her toe. Is it an ant bite or something else? Should I treat it as a brumble foot just in case? Thank you all!

    Will she molt out of these shredded feathers?

    She is under a year old and to my knowledge hasn't molted yet. Hopefully they come back feathered when she molts! Thank you!

    Will she molt out of these shredded feathers?

    My little Dotrisha has 2 shredded wings. They're hard. They're pointy. They're not very pleasant to feel when holding her. When she molts, will they grow back shredded still? I thought the shredder gene is based on blue genetics and 'fixed' by introducing black(?) Curious how she has it while...

    Brahma hen who never laid an egg

    She could be older than advertised and is past her laying days. Regardless, she's absolutely beautiful!
