    Silkie leg problems?

    I did see her eat and drink last night. This morning when I left for work she was sleeping but seemed ok when I talked to her and touched her. When I got home from work she had unfortunately passed away… Thank you very much for all the information and help.

    Silkie leg problems?

    I gave her a bath and dried her. It seemed to relax her a lot. I found this towards her tail. I didn’t notice it before. I do believe she’s in the middle of molting and was before her legs started going out. Maybe it’s from pecking during molt? I’m not sure. We made her a sling she seems a lot...

    Silkie leg problems?

    No lice or mites. I trim her nails a little at a time because they do bleed even when taking a little off. I clean feet and check for bumblefoot often and she’s never had any problems.

    Silkie leg problems?

    Ya I put her in a crate shortly after noticing something was wrong. I put low dose baby aspirin in her water for pain. It’s starting to get cold here so I put low heat on her since she’s alone. She’s just laying right next to the heat with that one leg out. Anything else I can do for a slipped...

    Silkie leg problems?

    Day before yesterday all was fine. Then when we get home from work I notices one of my silkies with a leg that seems to be in the extended locked position. She will attempt to run from the other chickens but doesn’t seem to put any real weight on it. We’ve checked her range of motion and...
