When did her sis pass? I had this one, an EE the ee died. Went and got a new friend. That one died within 12 hours. Waited a few weeks then went and got another friend, a sebright from the same hatch. They became quick buddies i finally moved them outside. They were doing great then a few weeks...
We have a 5gal bucket with the nipple system attached. I started adding ACV to their water about a week and a half ago. Today i went out and checked and the water was full of this strange purple mold!! Now i am very worried about my chickens!
I have 2 4 wk old silvers. Anytime i back the heat lamp to make it cooler than 85 they have a fit. Since they are such a small breed do you go slower on backing the lamp off?
so I do believe i have a boy and a girl. The top pic and the chick on the right i believe is the girl. Then the one on the left and bottom i think is a roo. They will be 8 wks the 26th
I have two silkies. Just a little over 7 wks old. They love each other. When we take them outside we usually take one at a time and the other will sit in the door way of the cage yelling until we come get him or her! lol We take them outside everyday. And leave them out everyday. All day and...
They have been going outside most of the day now. they LOVE it! I even plopped them in with my big girls for a bit so I could move their coops next to each other so they could become friendly and they were all playing nice :)
I was wondering the same thing. Our lowest low is 67 this week. I have 5 1/2 wk old silkies with a small coop for them til they get big enough to be housed with my big girls. I dont want to have to add a heat lamp... And there is only 2 of them. Think i should wait a bit longer to put them outside?
I don't plan on going back to her. I think it's very bad business and just wrong to sell me a sick chick and not own up to it. If I had thought about it and really paid attention I wouldn't have picked her. She was the smallest in the pen ;( poor girl I wish I could have saved her! I can't help...
