    Silkie thread!

    Well, little Voodoo is all wrapped and is in a sling complete with her own buffet bar. I'll probably redo the wrap every twelve hours or so to make sure it isn't too tight.

    Thanks for the advice you guys! I decided to give her some poultry nutri drench because I think she may have a vitamin deficiency. It has lots of good stuff in it, including niacin, so we'll see how she does and if she starts gaining strength in her legs. Strangely enough, she's the biggest of...

    Silkie thread!

    I love this thread! I'd love to share my little brood of four. They weren't feeling particularly photogenic today, but I did get some okay photos of my little favorite. She's nine weeks old :) If anyone has any opinions on gender, I'd love to hear what you think! I'm starting to worry I may have...
