She has been eating and drinking OK but just looks lethargic and stays still with tail down in one area for some time, honestly she's a bantam silkie hen so I thought of putting a finger in but was afraid I would hurt her but will try tomorrow if you think it's OK I live in Ireland so it's 11pm...

Hi I have a silkie hen, firstly she hardly ever lays eggs but is only 2/3 years old last year after laying two eggs within a week she was really sick looking and I managed to bring her back, this year she laid maybe 3 eggs in total and now she seems very lethargic tail and wings down still...

Healthy enough to try and eat my kindle while I'm reading outside 😂😂

Ohh 10% in every feed I thought it was like get 10% of there body weight and only give them that amount in the entire day which seemed like nothing 😅 anyway they are now on 5-6 oz 4 times a day just since yesterday and seem to be happy on it, I suppose il just play the feeding amounts by ear and...

6oz not sure if they would even drink that much in one feed is it just me or does 1kg 800gram or 62oz in weight seem small for a nearly 2week old kid? Never had kid goats before and like I said these are my friends which I'm feeding to help her out so I'm learning as I go here, thank god I'm...

Feeding lamlac milk replacer purely because I was told this was the best substitute I could find around here, update small kid is now amazing/crazy and bigger kid isnt finishing her 4oz every 4hours anymore she left a few ml the last three feeds where normally she drains it dry and I haven't...

So if its 10% then I only give them just over 6oz for the whole day?? That doesn't seem like enough 🤔🙄

Have been put in a position were I have to bottle feed a friends two kid goats, Iv read soooooooo many different opinions online about how much to feed, i just need somebody here to tell me one and make my decision for me 😂please! Kids are two weeks on the 19th Sunday, one weighs 1kg 800grams...

I know it's always so awkward living on an island we have 1 doctor no pharmacy no hospital and no vet 😅 but on the plus side its a great place to be socially isolated right now

Asleep now

Thanks everybody I finally got through to a vet on one of the islands nearby and she is going to send me an electrolyte solution and antibiotic on the first plane tomorrow morning, the homemade electrolyte I made up really parked him up and he seem to have his appetite back and is more looking...

Thank you soo much!

Sadly I live on a small island off the coast of Ireland, no farm store no vet, so relying on home remedies since we actually can't even leave the island right now and go to the city because of covid travel restrictions

Hi I have a 1 week old goat (mother died) so the twins she had now have to be bottle babies the biggest is doing fine but the youngest has bad scour for two days now and isn't taking to the bottle at all. I gave an electrolyte solution and he just seem to start peeing it out straight after...

Chicken wasent moving very much yesterday so I picked it up and saw that the back end was covered in pop and had loads of fly eggs laid on it so I bathed cleaned and clipped.

Hi, My silkie bantam eggs are on day 16 and two out of four are wiggling today should I go into lockdown already it's very early I would think but want some advice? Thanks in advance everyone. Haven't been on this in ages because I haven't been incubating but good to be back!

She could just be very broody if she keeps going back to the nesting box that's my best guess

Could it be spurs, I can't really see from the pic maybe she is a he?
