I usually sex silkies immediately after they hatch so its different buying 6 week olds so far out of the oldest group i bought there are 5 roos and 2 hens dont know this one though
I got a 19 silkies today 6 weeks to 2 days old
This one came as a “buff” what colour is it really? Its this light yellow with white and gray, and if you can tell the gender thats also a bonus
The stall the chickens were in got flooded so i cleaned out where my rescues normally go in and set it up and everything, Squirrel actually adjusted well since that was the first area she was moved to after being inside for her first 6 months of life(born in October) she did explore the walls...
She also has her two sisters, mom, grandma, and her friends to guide her and 8 lovely roosters to protect her.
Once the spring comes ill build a run for my small coop i built 3 years ago so when im not around she will still get all the nature she loves
Edit: thank you all for helping me boost...
i already do this! even after cleaning the coops i put everything back right where they were before,
I think the thing im most scared of is keeping her cooped up, she loves exploring and itll be so sad taking that away from her in the summer time. Luckily im outside with my birds 90% of the time...

Dove is mainly a cochin easter egger silkie, teddy is pure SQ silkie the chick will most likely get culled tonight the spine, feet, and lack of proper vent would be to difficult to hold onto. Its quite hard to find people that want disabled birds especially males (dove is part of a auto sexing...

Im Canadian and I already have a amazing vet for my birds. He has eaten and i gave him water, ill do my best to take a picture of the blood, and i did separate him from the others!
I never add sick birds to my flock, when I bought some sick ones they were in a different area while I meditated them but that was way before i got him. Should i cull him immediately..:(
Everything you mentioned seems like him
I purchased this 2 year old serama rooster this fall. Now he has blood coming out of his mouth when he sneezes and they are very big dramatic sneezes. (The vet was here on Monday to proscribed medication to all the birds that have respiratory problems) he’s awesome i dont want to give up on him...
