I will try that, thanks!

This was at 4 wks old

I got this little guy at 4 days old, it is now 5 weeks old. It had a sibling which died suddenly, but was very small and growing really slowly, and was frquently pasty, it was the weaker of the two for sure. This is my first time raising silkies, but I feel like this chick looks much younger...

Ok thank you guys. It's a strange looking bird, it was one of the breeder's projects, I believe. With some of the wing feathers being white underneath so far, I think it will be pretty when it matures.

I got this frizzle mix from a breeder a few weeks ago. She said it is a Frizzle (Cochin, I assume) male mixed with a Wyandotte hen. She didn't know exactly how old it was or exactly which pair it came from. It looked about 2 weeks old when I got it, which would make it around 4 weeks old by now...

Yea, I am quite aware of the almost uselessness of antibiotics in this situation, I was hoping there was a blood test that maybe a Veterinary college could do, or some kind organization that did that kind of testing. That will be what I have to end up doing if one does pass, or I can't find any...

I have a flock of 3 3 1/2 month old pullets, all raised together, and were very healthy. Well, a few weeks ago, I decided (bad decision) to order 2 Silkie pullets from an NPIP certified breeder. They came through express mail one week ago as of yesterday. Before even taking them out of the...
