    Watery green poo and lethargy?

    One of my adult silkies has been having trouble standing and walking, spends a lot of time laying down in one corner of the run, and has been having diarrhea with a lot of watery liquid and a more solid-looking green bit. She's still eating and drinking, though not as much as I'd like her to...

    New silkie not laying as much as she should?

    On Monday (11/12/18) I brought in two new silkies, one of which is of laying age. On Thursday (11/22) she laid an egg, which was super small and had a few tiny streaks of blood. Since she's a new layer and was just introduced to a new environment, I wasn't surprised by either of those things...

My white one has started crowing, while the black one only has several physical traits of a rooster (blue tail/wing feathers, wattles larger than the others, non-puffy head feathers, red around the eyes and beak). But...

    I'm afraid my 6-week-old chicks are eating too much dirt and grass!

    I have 3 six-week-old silkie chicks who have lived indoors all their lives, with the exception of spending a few minutes some days roaming around on the grass. A few days ago, I introduced them to their coop in the backyard. I'm afraid that with them spending all their time on the ground...
