I recently lost my silkie to old age.
And i would love to have another one, but i can't find anyone around where i live that has them. I don't really want to order one, because i only want one or two.
Does anyone live in or around South Dakota that would be willing to sell me a pair?

I have a 10 month old barred rock hen that is coughing or sneezing can't tell. She has really watery eyes. I did a search and can't find anything that sounds like what shes doing. I have her in a different pin from the rest.

I have an older hen that will do the same thing. I'm really not sure what kind of chicken she is though. But she eats and drinks well so i haven't really been too worried.

HI:D
I was thinking i was the only SD person on this site
This is my first year in raising chickens, and i'm loving it!
I have a buff orph, 3 barred rocks, 3 light brahmns, a silkie, an araucana, and 3 hens that i'm not real sure of what they are, and 15 little pullets.
the last sick one died this morning:(
Still not sure what caused it. But i've put amprolium in the water and have cleaned their coop like on other.(i almost don't want to let them back in its so pretty)
No sick one's today, but i've got my fingers crossed.
Thank You Everyone for your help
You...

I've taken her inside in a dry warm area no noise, plenty...
I should add that the chick that died wouldn't eat or drink. She would stay standing with her eyes closed. She wouldn't respond to touch or noise.
SHe looked like she was in pain, poor thing.
I recently read on this site that black oil sunflower seeds are good for hens and roosters that are multing. SO i went to my local feed store on friday and got a bag. I never intented for my 4 month old chicks to eat them but some of the little suckers eat some. But i wasn't worried cuz i didn't...
