Thank you some indeed came to me as chicks and others I got about 6-8 weeks or 6 months. The two who passed were from different breeders at different ages but both got sick and were never the same. If I continue to lose chickens mysteriously I will definitely send them to a state vet. Thank you
Hi,
No emergency here, just wanted some other fellow chicken keepers experiences. I’ve been a chicken keeper for about a year now and had three losses. One from heat stroke, one from egg bound, and another I’m not quite sure. She was always lethargic and sickly but she ate and drank water. She...
I have 6 Roos that need rehoming. I love them but I live in an urban setting and the neighbors are starting to complain. I’m located in Western Mass and am totally willing to send pics and meet up to exchange them. I’m really hoping to give them to a good home where they will be loved.
Serious...
Please help I came home from work and one of my silkies had his foot wrapped in bedding and must have twisted his neck or hit his head. I’ve brought them inside and tried food and water but I have no idea what to do please help. He’s twitching peeping it’s awful
Thank you for the help @LadiesAndJane and @esme13! They are just pets for me to cuddle and watch. Maybe I’ll add to the flock next spring but for right now I’m more concerned with making sure having three cockerels will not be a problem…
I’m sorry for the low quality pictures but I was trying to take them one handed. The last two are the black one and the gray/white one is the first image.
Of course.
I have five:
1. White with no head fluff is about 10 weeks
2. White and brown is also ten weeks
3. Gray and black is about 11 weeks
4. Gray and white is 8 weeks old
5. Black one is about 9 weeks old.
Hello again,
My silkies are now all 8 weeks and older so I was hoping I could get some help with gender guesses. I’m thinking I have three cockerels and one hen. The littlest is the one I’m 50/50 on. I’ll be attaching all the pictures I can so if anyone can be of assistance that would be grand...
Unfortunately I just lost one of my chicks to the heat and an accident with the coop door today.
That leaves me with one almost eight week old silkie. I have some ladies for the young cockerel (he’s definitely a boy) coming in the beginning of September, but they won’t be ready to join him...
Hello!
I have two almost seven week old silkies and I just moved them into their outdoor coup (a pre-fab I picked up off Amazon with a covered run). It’s raining pretty hard on and off today and it looks like for the rest of the week and I’m concerned. I let them out into the covered run for...
