    air filled crop?

    Ninja's been absolutely fine ever since! When she sat she looked like she had swallowed a large grapefruit it was that noticeable. is yours eating and drinking? If she's having trouble I definitely recommend natural yoghurt. I think she didn't eat because she felt full so I deflated her and fed...

    air filled crop?

    Thanks Eggcessive. She has vitamins in her water and I added B12 but only able to drip it on to her beak. She's in a box with hay propping her up and has a heat lamp on. Might be wishful thinking but i'm sure i've seen her toes moving once or twice. I'm a bit worried she'll twist her legs...

    air filled crop?

    Well,Ninja seems to be back to her normal self. This morning her chest was no longer filled with air and she is eating well! I wish I knew what it was and what helped if anything, so relieved shes ok. Unfortunately my daughters favourite Silkie is in a bad way. I found her laying on the ground...

    air filled crop?

    Thanks Eggcessive, I've been investigating the air sac thing, I don't think it is that but can't see what else it could be. It definitely feels like it's air in the crop and the air comes out with a gentle squeeze (but just fills again when she sits). Unless there's also a hole in the crop and...

    air filled crop?

    I hope someone can help, i'm feeling a bit desperate. 2 days ago I noticed my 1 year old black Silkie hen wasn't herself, not eating or moving much. On closer inspection I saw her chest was oddly inflating and deflating. I picked her up and felt her crop area and all the air came out making a...

    thought it time I said hello! From The UK

    My Husband and daughter went to a poultry auction today, after promising they were only going to 'have a look' they came home with a 1.5 yo Poland and 1yo Miniature white Silkie! The Silkie is so sweet, looks like a 3 month bantam. After saying how all our girls get on so well, the new Poland...

    Is an LF silkie a full size? sorry, don't know what the LF stands for I have 3 'chamois polands' (2 looking decidedly male now) that prefer to be snuggled up in a corner, they also chirp constantly!. The white silkie bantam is bearded, and super friendly. One of the white frizzles has got 9...

    Thank you for the link, will have a read. I can't walk past the box of cuteness in my kitchen without taking a peek, will be hard to hand them over in a few weeks that's for sure!

    thought it time I said hello! From The UK

    Hi, I've been visiting this amazing site for a little while now. After I said 'no' to kittens my Husband and 2 children decided to get chickens without even running it by me. Next thing I know we have a coop where my beautiful herbaceus border once was! Initially I wasn't happy as we have a very...
