    3 week old silkie can't bear weight on one leg, foot appears deformed or broken. Advice / suggestions?

    Oh. My. Gosh. YOU WERE RIGHT. Poor tiny baby had her foot all bound up with a hair. It was crazy how it was so tangled around her toes. I hope I got it all, and I hope she fully recovers. I clipped it and her toes immediately spread back out. How horrifying and painful that must have been for...

    Help me figure out my mystery 5-toed chicken?

    A local dealer had ordered pet silkies from a hatchery, but they accidentally sent her these instead. They're adorable, whatever they are. I'm happy to be a beneficiary from that mistake and excited to see what they look like when they grow up :)

    Help me figure out my mystery 5-toed chicken?

    I bought 2 mystery chicks yesterday. They're a week old. They have the sweetest chipmunk markings, hairy legs, and one has 5 toes! Likely some sort of cross? What might they grow up to be? I just love them so much!
