Thanks, everybody, for your advice. The more I read up on Marek's, the more it sounds like our problem. Unfortunately we had to let Vern go yesterday. She got to the point where all she could move was her head to eat and drink. I am very upset to have lost her and now I'm worried for my last...

I just wanted to add that Vern (the little sick girl) has been acting different today. She has been scratching at the cage and fidgeting alot. She almost seems nervous, maybe panicing and is constantly moving her head (like Ray Charles). Do you think that would be caused by Marek's disease. I...

I am a member of a Facebook group and met a lady on there that breeds and raises Silkies and that's where I got them from. I original got 3 birds, but I lost one about a month ago to what I thought was botulism. She stopped growing, had paralisis in her legs and wings and always had her eyes...

What is Corid? Where would I find it? I hope you are wrong also but thank you for your input.

It's really hard to get a good picture of a chicken lol. Her foot looks normal and I don't see any injuries but she holds it out and keeps losing her balance when she walks. I was told by the girl I bought them from to give her molasses, so I mixed some with her water this evening. Does that...

By put it into the chicken's crop do you just mean feed it to them directly?

I am very new to chickens. Back in June I bought 3 baby silkies. I put them in a guinea pig cage with regular play sand on the floor. All 3 chicks were born within the same week but one of them was much smaller than the other 2 (Raven). Around the beginning of August, I found the small chick...

She was born either the 26th or 27th. That's crazy!

She looks alot like my Sandy... Pretty much the same colors and everything. We will have to compare in a few weeks :0)

Hi, All! Brand new chicken owner here! I recently got 3 silkies... (Sandy, Vern, and Raven) They are 2 weeks old and I can't wait to see what they look like when they get older (especially Sandy since I see how much partridges change while growing)! I have absolutely no chicken experience...

My babies are almost 2 weeks old! I can't believe how much they've grown in such a short time. (Sandy, Vern, and Raven) Since everyone is asking the pros some questions, I figured I would join in :0) I was wondering the colors of my girls (specifically Sandy because she's so much different...

Still trying to figure all this out and didn't hit quote when replying to Janine718 :(

How about Romeo and Juliet?

Thanks so much everyone!

I'm so glad to see this article! I just 3 baby silkies to keep inside and my boyfriend thought I was a nut for even thinking about it. It's been almost a week and I absolutely love them!

Hi, Everyone! I'm new to this site and new to chickens as well. Last week I saw some Silkie chicks for sale. I looked them up on the internet and was amazed at what I saw. They looked nothing like the typical chicken I think of. They were absolutely adorable and I had to have one! :0) My...
