So i have 2 smooth silkie hens and 2 sizzle hen. My rooster is a sizzle as well. I went to the coop the other day and had surprise chicks. I figured they quit laying due to the weather but they hid some. My question is of you can tell if the chicks will have the brittle poor feathering at just a...

I know this post is quite old but i am looking for all the help i can get. We had accidental chicks. (My hens hid eggs and i did not know where. This is 100% my fault for not looking harder) I have 2 smooth silkie girls and 2 frizzled girls. My roo is a frizzle. Now i have about 10 chicks that...

I have narrowed down the issue to wry neck, coccidiosis (sp?) Or mereks. Although i dont think that is what it was. I came home and found one of my young pullets in the run puffed in a ball shivering. I thought she got cold since it was sleeting so i brought her inside in a tote. I let her warm...

I am sorry i didn't update my post. They found a home. Thank you for looking.

**Sold**In Northern IN..I have 2 silkie roosters in need of a new home. They are friendly just have too many for my flock. Can provide pictures.

Its hard to tell but i think so. The smaller piece i couldnt get out was about the same size as the eye.

I did manage to get most of the puss out. There was still a small peice about the size of a pencil eraser i couldnt get. He was starting to get stressed so i stopped. I was afraid to use tweezers because i didnt want to cause further injury. Should i try to pull the rest with tweezers? I also...

Help! I noticed my one roos eye like this yesterday. I have started him on duramycin and have been told several different things on how to treat. What is it? I have been told its and eye worm or maybe ruptured? Several people have said to try and sqweeze it out. Is this a good idea? I'm newer...

***UPDATE*** Spoke to our vet and she said if it doesnt seem to bother her to leave it. She thinks it a cluster of cells that got "confused" during development. All we have to do is watch and if the "claws" start growing we may have to trim them...

Hi Cavemanrich- someone told me its an infection and to pull out the claws because they are probably infected feathers then squeeze the puss out. Im not a fan of this idea. I think i will watch it and see. Just weird...She doesnt seem to bothered by it.

Hi Teila- Its on her chest. I never noticed it before. And i am almost positive i would have seen this when she was a chick. I think it just popped up in the past week or so. Very odd.

I noticed this on my Amaracauna hen today. There are two "claws" growing out of it. Anyone see this before? Is it an infection? should i pull it off? There does seem to be blood flowing to it. Should i be concerned?

I wasn't really sure. I thought she might just be being friendly. Like i said im new to the ducks and am not sure how to read the different behaviors

My two babies. I do have some questions. I am new to the breed and have noticed some odd behavior. I believe both are female. Theu are about 4 months old and the one with the darker beak always approaches me nodding and quaking. When she gets close enough to me she will lay her head and body...

These are my blues. I think both are female. And finally my rouen. I am hopeful these are a matched pair. All are the same age. 11/12 weeks.

I think i have 2 drakes. Thoughts? They are about 11/12 week old welsh halequins

Thank you for all the help! I do have another light brahma im not sure about. It's quite a bit smaller than the other one and has a very short stubby tail.

Thank you BabyandCotton. I am really hoping that one is a pullet. It has beautiful color and a big fluffy beard!

Thank you for the help! Here is some better pics of the other easter egger.

Here are a few more different chicks. They are all about 10 weeks old.
