Thank you for all the advice and information. I will check into both antibiotics suggestions. It may be a good idea to have one on hand since supplies can be difficult to find. Hopefully it's not a serious illness.

She a noise once in a while. I can't tell if she is sneezing or coughing. She seems normal. She takes care of her chicks, eats, walks around. She looks good. No bubbles or foam. Never had any other respiratory issues in the flock. I gave her a little vet rx. I will look for the Tylan 50...

Hi. I have a 9 month old silkie hen who hatched chicks 3 weeks ago and they're brooding in my house. Today I noticed my hen has a little clear liquid dripping from her beak and she sounds like she may be weezing occasionally. Any ideas of what this could be and how to treat her? Her chicks...

I will try to watch tomorrow. I removed the two extra eggs. I don't want my broody hen to stay on the nest longer than necessary.

Hi. Thank you for the response. Thats good news. My calculations must've been a day or so off. This is my first season with chickens and currently only have one other hen that is laying and she likes to lay in the run.

Here are a few pictures. I believe I saw movement.

I will try to get picture this evening

Hi A few weeks ago my silkie hen went broody on one egg. She has been on it for about 21 days now. When I candled it a few days ago, it appears to have a chick. I couldn't tell if it was alive. Two days ago my broody hen started laying eggs again and she just keeps adding them to the one she's...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will start by removing her from the nest and go from there.

This is my first flock. I've never had a broody hen. What is the best way to break her in your opinion?

Hi I have a 6 month old silkie hen who has been laying for about a month. Over the weekend she laid an egg an sat on it all day. I left her because the roosters keep her running. I thought she was avoiding them. 😉 the next morning she left the coop with the other chickens and went into the run...

That's good news! Thanks!

Hi all I have (2) 16 week old silver laced wyandottes that are supposed to be pullets. They look different than each other. What do you think?

Thanks, I will check it out.

Yes, 2 other silkie roosters. They're all the same age.

Yes, they are long. I do feel like its a cockerel. Why hasn't she/he crowed yet?

Yes, it's gotten larger recently. Doesn't have much in the way of wattles though.

Hi everyone This is my 22 week old silkie. I believe it is a pullet but I am not totally sure. She behaves like my silkie cockrel. She chases the other pullets, she is more aggressive than the other pullets and she seems to have steamers. She has never crowed. Could she be a cockrel or a bully...

Thanks. So far good news!

Good news! Thanks
