    I feed them a good grower mash that has all the needed vitamins and greens on a daily basis. I got a good vitamin supplement that I will add to the water and feed it to the chick with a syringe. I did notice it is a picky eater could be why it is the only one that has got it.

    Thanks someone told me to also massage the chicks neck 4 times a day and give mashed egg as it is sounds like vitamin deficiency.

    Please help my one Silkie chick is acting weird, he pulls his head into his chest and walks backwards. He eats and drinks and walks normal at times but keeps doing the head thing, I seperated him from the other chicks.

    My one silkie hen got grabbed by an iguana today, luckily is still small and only bruised her leg she limps a bit but is fine. I was convinced I had lost her but she is tougher than I thought, the vet came to check on her and said I must keep an eye on her for the next few days.

    Thanks I only have the one brooder at the moment, as I only recently started breeding with the silkies. I breed show quality australorps so I keep the breeds separate, although the thought of a australorp x silkie is very intriguing. Hopefully I will be able to build a separate brooder after...

    Thanks I'm going to divide the run and place her (I'm hoping its a pullet) and the other chick there so they can be outside during the day and I will put them in the brooder at night, the other chick is now 3 weeks old. They share the brooder with week old Australorp chicks so I'm considering...
