Unfortunately I can't embed a video but looking for help with my Silkie hen. This morning I went to let her and my Polish hen out and they didn't want to. I then heard a weird sound. The Silkie was breathing quite heavy with a weezing, almost whimpering sound. It looks like she hasn't eaten. I...

Any ideas on why they would and what I should do to get them bette . The Silkie had a sour crop last Sunday and I did get her better. She had watery stool, so just attributed it to the sour crop. Now the Polish also has runny stool. Any help is much appreciated!

Not sure if I have the correct forum. I have a female easter egger I need to find a home for. I got her in December about 8 weeks old when my Silkie passed away. I had another Silkie that was now all alone so I got her a friend. Naturally the Silkie pecked at the EE to show who's boss. Has...

I had 2 silkies as pets. One of them was hatched by the other from fertilized eggs I got. Now the mom would peck at her when she annoyed her but they generally got along. The one that hatched here, though, I was never really able to tame. I've had a few chickens, but none like this one. I have...

This site has been nothing but supportive to me. So as I sit here with my hen Pippie (a white silkie) in my arms, I had to talk about her & knew I could come on here. I've had her for about 5 years & got her when she was maybe a year old. She was with my first ever hen Sookie, who sadly got...

I literally just had my 2 silkie girls out to munch on weeds & grass. Starting to get dark so was heading to the coop. All of the sudden Pippie, who is about 5 maybe, made a quick sound as if she was scared of something. I turn around to see her hobbling and start to lay down. I picked her up...

Can I do anything? Please help. Freaking out.

Have 2 Silkie hens. They have a wire enclosure and a house they fly into to roost at night. I always go out there and shut the side trap door, just in case a raccoon gets in. Tonight I went out there, and checked on them first, and, thank God, noticed that Pippie wasn't in there. I started...

Will post pics in a little. I'm so excited!!!! Gotta admit that I didn't think any would hatch. Got 7 eggs that we hoped were fertile from someone I met at the 4H tent at a local fair. Is there anything I should do? Baby is under mom and she has another 6 eggs under her. Want to check...

I have a Silkie sitting on 7 fertilized eggs I got from someone. I decided to try to candle them yesterday for the second time. They're due starting Aug. 31. Me and mom used a toilet paper roll and a flashlight. Well, when mom was holding egg, she dropped it and it went through the cardboard...

Hoping someone can help in this forum. I'm in central Jersey & looking for a friend for my white silkie hen. Please PM if u can help.

I went to the petstore today to get my hens some treats. Got them the usual mealworms, that they LOOOOVVVEEEEE. Also decided to get them megaworms, which are about 2 to 3 times bigger than mealworms. Asked the guy there about them, and he did tell me that when they feed them to the reptiles...

I just wanted to see if anyone might have some babies soon who live around or near Ocean County NJ. I can only get one and I really want it to be a baby so I can tame it as much as I did my dear Sookie, who I had to put down the day before Memorial Day. It would have a great home, and we...

I just had to do the hardest thing I've ever had to in my entire life. I had to put my silkie x EE, Sookie, to sleep on Sunday. I'm completely heartbroken, but she was suffering. Anyway, we always wanted to have 2 hens to keep eachother company. Well now that the one is gone, I need help...

I have an amazingly sweet hen that just hasn't been the same since she almost died in March. Her dr. saved her, she turned out to have a calcium deficiency. After she got better, she got wet pox. That was diagnosed late March, early April. When she had the wet pox she began to grow these...

I only have 2 wonderful hens. One is a Silkie, very healthy. The other is a mix & has been sick on & off since March. She almost died but made a recovery & just has a weak immune system causing her to get sick here & there. Anyway, I've noticed both hens at various times regurgitating or...

I have an amazing mixed hen that's turning 1 in July, & I've had her since she was 2 days old. I've been told that she looks like she has Silkie in her & another told me Araucana. But perhaps the biggest clue is her beautiful blue ears, which her little white Silkie sister has (there's no...

Please see my new post below. Thanks!!!!

Unfortunately this isn't my first post, as I sadly have a sick hen & luckily found this site with all its terrific forums being very useful. The people on here are amazing. I've only been on here for over a week & have a few people helping me & supporting me. On the light side.....I'm new to...

I posted prev about how I thought my chicken had paratyphoid. Well brought her 2 someone on monday who has a lot of knowledge about chickens. He said she looked very healthy, eyes clear, no mites, not swollen in vent area. It all started about 3 weeks ago when I noticed she was walking off...
