I'm very sorry about your lose... I know how it feels but if she had a broken neck there wasn't much you could of done.

I have mulch and they love it especially when it rains and it's all nice when they dig deep they will lay in the sun and sleep for hours! But yet again every chicken is different I use to have one who just liked to sleep in the grass and on concrete to sun bath.

Also if you manual just very gentle kinda do like therapy on her leg like move it back and forth and bend it that will help too

Really exicited just got 3 Silkies today!!!!!

Hi I'm hope. I show my quarter horse Calvin and recently got a paint! I use to show dogs and thinking about showing chickens!!

I was thinking about showing Silkies I'm getting some soon! If someone could private message me on how to Kinda start to show them that would be great!!

Maybe try to put a heater in the coop and see if that helps.

When I get chicks I keep them in a bedroom too. The dust starts for me when they spill their food mostly. I recommend cleaning them everty week.

That is interesting that you guys say that. I have 2 rir and I was thinking about getting 6 Silkies. I really have been wanting them for a long time. Do u think it would be a good idea only one of my rir are mean the other one is easy going.

I have a older hen too named big red. She was doing the same thing. However I noticed she was pulling them out around her neck area from being inside during winter bored.

I would let them go outside around 7-8 weeks but however would not leave them outside unless it is warm.

I wouldn't be too concerned then. Obviously she gets plenty of nutrition! I know how you feel it can be scary I have a hen who is doing the same thing she is out all the time eats plenty and doesn't lay.

If she has a fluffy butt it's normal to have a little bit of poop on it. like the other person said soak her butt in warm water to get it off so she doesn't have problems with pooping or laying Hope this helped

I would bring her maybe into your house or garage with a heater to see if that helps her. Sorry don't know too much about frostbite maybe try researching it to see how to help it. I just researched briefly and it says frostbite is mostly black which is what I thought it just looks like she has...

Does it feel like she has a egg does she feel big underneath? If it feels normal meaning not big or feeling like something is in their just give her some time. I had this happen a couple times just make sure she gets outside a lot and has bugs to eat

If you think your 4 year old would be careful it should be just fine I let my 4 year old brother hold them he was careful just made sure to keep a eye on him. I would also say around a coulpe weeks should be fine for the kids to handle them. Also on the outside age part I would say around 7-8...

It is normal but I would wacth to make sure the one who is pecking isn't truning into a bully towards your other hens.

You should separate her for a little while to see if that helps maybe her getting bullied is making her feel down. Also I had a egg bound chicken before but was to late to act on her. I would put her in your sink with warm water and see if that helps. Do that a couple times and put her in a warm...

If you have flies you could get this fly trap from places like TSC. It traps the flys in if you are worried about that. I have a lot of flies where I live in the summer and it helps alot

It is best not to fertilize your yard because they might not leave that area alone.
