Thanks for your reply! I've been removing the pus from her eyes since I've had her. (She would get better, then it would come back.) It was like cottage cheese, but now its getting hard. After we sent a sample of the eye gunk, the vet said we were dealing with 2 kinds of bacteria. That's...
I agree, I think it's some type of eye infection or sinus infection. I don't think its eye worm. I've gone through 2 bottles of VetRX since I've had her, (8 months) but I've never heated it and put it on her cleft, using the method you suggested. I've put it on her nostrils, thinking it would...
Hi, Thank you for your advice. Sorry it took so long to get back. (We had to put our dog down.) I've never heard of a fecal float, but she has been wormed. She doesn't seem to be in pain (except when I try to pick the dried up infection out of her eye, then afterwards, she seems okay.) The...
I have a silkie that has been sick for almost a year now. (She's my sweet pet) It started out as a smelly discharge from her eye and her throat was covered in yellow gunk. My local vet treated her for Coryza and through the months she would seem to get better then worse again. The throat got...
I have a question for anyone who could help me. I have a silkie chicken that has been sick for at least a couple of months. I have read and tried everything and the poor thing still seems to be sick. At first I thought it was an upper respiratory problem, and treated it with many over the...

Yes, I'm pretty sure they are different ages. (The aggressive one is a lot bigger) I'm thinking about getting another smaller one to be a friend to the little sweet one. Do you think that would solve the problem? Maybe they would team up on her??
I bought 2 silkie hens about a month ago (I'm a newby) I have one bigger silkie that continues to be mean to the smaller hen. I've separated them in 2 small dog crates indoors every night letting them face each other. I read somewhere that they will get used to each other this way. It's not...
I'm new to raising chickens. So sorry if I'm asking dumb questions. I purchased 2 silkie hens about a month ago and everything I've read, Silkies lay around 3 eggs per week. I have one that's laying one a day. Is this normal?
