    Chicks with Diarrhea

    Thanks. I’m trying not to worry since they don’t have any other symptoms. I wouldn’t worry at all if they were my own stock but these are hatching eggs from a breeder I’m not all that familiar with. Thanks for your help!

    Chicks with Diarrhea

    I have 3 day old chicks with diarrhea and I’m concerned about coccidiosis. I would treat with corid except for the fact that I don’t have any and can’t get to the store today or tomorrow due to a snow storm. Is there anything else I can give them until I can get to the store? Edit - The only...

    What sex is my silkie

    Agree that we need closeups of the comb.

    8 week old silkies gender?

    Too young to make any sort of educated guess. Update pics in another month or two.

    Sexing show girls

    True Silkie showgirls aren’t crosses but I do believe you’re right that these may be crosses because of the weird combs. Showgirl isn’t an actual breed but a naked neck Silkie or satin. These don’t look like pure silkies. Me personally, I wouldn’t spend more than $5 for each.

    Sexing show girls

    Report them to who?? 🤣 Breeders have a right to charge whatever they want for their chickens. If you don’t like the price, find another breeder. I’ve bred these for over three years and they are very difficult to sex.

    Sexing show girls

    These look more like Silkie crosses to me. The comb on the white one is wrong. Without knowing their genetic history I can’t say for sure but they do both look like boys. The blue MIGHT be female but hard to say.

    What gender are these satins?

    Beautiful satins! My favorite breed. The black one with blue shimmer is gorgeous! I think you have two boys.

    Silkie cockerel or pullet? 3 months old

    The tail and the leakage in the wing feathers makes me lean more male now. I’m so confused!!!

    Red mite infestation....They are everywhere!

    DE won't help an infestation. You need either permethrin or ivermectin.

    Beautiful Mille Fleur Satins!!

    These aren't my work, but aren't they beautiful? I ordered these from hatching eggs from a breeder in Michigan. I'm super happy with how they look and hope to someday make birds this beautiful.

    Liquid Permethrin Question

    Is the treatment period the same as permethrin poultry dust (repeat in 10-14 days)?

    Liquid Permethrin Question

    I’m thinking of switching from dust to liquid because dust is so messy. I got the dosing ratio down (2 teaspoons to 1 quart water) but how exactly do I treat them? The instructions say to spray them but I don’t want to get any in their eyes. Can I use a dropper like I do when I use ivermectin...

    Silkie cockerel or pullet? 3 months old

    No shimmery feathers. No streamers. No wattles. Comb isn't red. I still vote pullet.

    What products are you using. Permethrin or ivermectin are what I use.
