Thanks, I will try these.

No other symptoms. She seems in ok health. She has lost weight, possibly because she cannot get to the feed. She eats if I hand feed her today. I mixed some salmon and cooked egg so I could put the only Vitimin B I had which was a human effervescent tablet. She had a feed of that. I'm...

I use Troy Iodin spray for injuries to poultry. But, you have a bleeding problem. In other animals, like sheep and dogs, I have used Condys Crystals. Pottash I think it is. You can buy it from the chemist (drug store I think in US). It is a purple crystal and it makes a hell of a mess, so...

I have been away for 2 weeks. The morning I left noticed a 4 year old silkie hen using a wing to support herself. I penned her separately. My adult daughter has been caring for them. 6 of 8 of them have been vaccinated against Mareks, wormed with Nilverm and powdered against mites. I came...

Thanks for the advice. This is what I've been doing as the chick is otherwise ok. Nice to get some reassurance as my hens usually raise chicks, not me, lol.

Thank you everyone. Not very computer literate, so have to learn the lingo and how to find such things as 'threads'. I presume this is a 'thread'. Hmm, hopefully not too difficult. I will have a look around. thanks again.

Hi. Reposting here as advised in case someone can help. Thankyou. Hi, hoping someone can help me. I have 8, 10 day old Silkie chicks in a brooder using lucerne chaff as the litter, medicated starter and water. One of them has a large crop, it is pliable and if you listen carefully when...

Thank you NickyKnack. I will try and do just that.

ok, thanks. I thought it was bad, it was just that the chick seems so normal in every other way.

Is this pad made specifically for chickens? I've not seen it. Thought it might be one of those 'knee rug' type that plug in for people. Great idea, they seem to love it.

Hi, I joined a few days ago. I'm from Australia, a place called Maraylya, north west of Sydney. I have just made my first post, so this is actually my second. Thought I should introduce myself first (or second, lol). I have Silkies and a couple of months ago bought a brooder from ebay...

Hi, hoping someone can help me. I have 8, 10 day old Silkie chicks in a brooder using lucerne chaff as the litter, medicated starter and water. One of them has a large crop, it is pliable and if you listen carefully when you gently massage it, it seems to have some air in there too. I took...

The parents aren't related, in so far as the rooster breeder is 7 hours drive from that of the hens. The 12 surviving chicks are 3 days old and going really well. Day 1 I vaccinated against Mareks. Never vaccinated anything so small, but used to microchip dogs in a pound, and vaccinate my own...

WVduckchick, thankyou so much for your help. I will do this next hatch. I appreciate your experience.

Hi, I've never done anything like this on the internet before, so if I've not done this correctly, please let me know. I've also never incubated eggs until now, and have just joined this site because, you guessed it, I had problems. I'm hoping someone can help me as I would like to be able to...
