She definitely was not as active as she was yesterday, but she is eating more. She even ate a little bit by herself! It wasn't much at all, but I'm taking it as an improvement. She did have a strange dropping, though. It was this runny, green and black like poop that smelled horrible. I'll add a...
Today, while she still slept a lot, she seemed a bit more active. When I just went to check on her, she was kind of scratching around and she had a large pile of poop that seemed more solid than the day before. She also stood up before I picked her up. She has never really enjoyed being picked...
I thoroughly cleaned the pens after I took her out just in case she wasn't egg bound and so far all of my other chickens seem fine.

I could not catch any good pictures of her right now because it is night time and my house has poor lighting, making her look dark and covered with shadows. I will try to catch some better ones tomorrow when there is some natural light. However, here is the best picture I could get of her...
Hi, I understand your concerns about what I am feeding her. I would like to mention again that they do get daily scraps. These scraps consist of a variety of fruits and veggies. They also get alive earth worms and dried mealworms as treats. I am only in high school and I am feeding them how my...
I have this 2 year old silkie hen that, until now, I was pretty sure she was egg bound. She has never had a problem laying eggs until recently when the cold weather really hit. I figured it was stress from the cold and set up the heat lamps for the pens.
Well, 2 days ago at about 7:15, I went...
