Sorry for not coming back to any of you, but unfortunately the vet had to put my girl down as she almost past when he was examining her on day three of antibiotics. She made no recover after the antibiotics and he believes there were internal abscess'. He was unable to give me a full diagnosis...
thank you, I've left her with the vet. He discovered an abscess on her tongue and is worried she may have more internally. He has got her on antibiotics but she's really not looking good and wish I would have taken her out of hours somewhere last night now, but fingers crossed.

Hi I've returned from holiday and found what I thought was all three girls broody. (My chicken sitter has said she had all three down every other day to play) I got the corn out and all but one came running. On further inspection my Black 2yr old Silkie bantam stumbled up and just sat by the...
