    Silkie help!

    Took her to a vet that sees birds.. she swabbed her throat and looked under the microscope. It wasn’t Canker. Sent me home with some meds but unfortunately she tried to eat and wasn’t able to pass the food. We tried getting the food out of her throat but weren’t able to as she couldn’t breath...

    Silkie help!

The water container in the coop gets changed often and cleaned.This is the first time I have had a Silkie come down with this. If I...

    My Silkie hen is gurgling when she breaths and shakes her head violently. So violent that last week she”threw up” a tube of food. I thought at first an upper respiratory infection but her eyes are not watering. Her mouth had mucus in it and it’s like she is drooling. I gave her Tylan orally and...

    diatomaceous earth…Yay or Nay?

    Have read mixed reviews on using this with dust baths,in roosting boxes and also dusting the birds themselves. I was surprised this can also be used for human consumption. I have delt with scaly legs in the past and wondered if this would be something to use versus a poultry dust.Through the...

    How much Tylan 200 orally for a Silkie hen?

    My hen has a bubbly eye. Otherwise acting fine. She isn’t a full pound and at best a year to a year and a half old. How much Tylan 200 should I give her orally? Twice a day or once? 1/4 ml? 1/8 ml? Can I over dose her? Also. Should I treat the other hens with anything besides the poultry cell...

    What’s going on with my Frizzle Roo?!

    No. We have looked several times. It’s so odd that he is unable to use his wing also.

    What’s going on with my Frizzle Roo?!

    Does Anyone have any explanation as to why Milo is doing this? His wing is also hanging. He doesn’t have bumble foot or any issues with his foot. I noticed last week that his wing was not moving when he went to flap them both. I caught him and noticed there was excessive long very hard quills...

    Lost feathers not growing back

    Also. She has not feathers on her underside for months. Thought maybe the upper roost was too high and she was rubbing them off but that’s not the case. Ugh. Hope the vet can give me some answers
