I could tell that you love them as much as I do, particularly when you said about the bonding that happens when they are sick. So many times in the past 3 months we have questioned ourselves as to cruel or kind. I do believe that poor breeding in her case has been a contributing factor to her...
Good morning. Thank you so much for your positive comments. Tilly our Silkie had improved a bit but still wasn’t right so we took her to a vet who knows about poultry. She prescribed medication of antibiotics and anti inflammatory liquid So pleased as just one week later she is doing really...

Images taken this morning of some girls. The black Pekin is such a character. She has...
