Hey yall...when silkies do their 1st year molt about how long does it last and how pitiful do they look? Bambi has pin feathers that I'm starting to see in her wings! So this gives me hope that they aren't sick but rather molting...or over mated. Mine are all at the 1 year or little more age and...

Whatever u do don't do what I did! I had same situation last year and thought I was being smart moving the 5 day olds to the brooder which is inside my main run. This let the babies that had just hatched have couple days to acclimate to eating and drinking. Then I brought the older ones back to...

Well I just ran with it and washed and trimmed all their booties! About 4 of em had a little skin irritation so I sprayed em with Veritcyn really well!

That's just the thing...the symptoms were more eating a lot but not gaining weight so I thought maybe tape worms. I mean don't most chickens with all these feathers that are being mated end up with nasty bums? So I'm not sure if I caught it early and that's why no other symptoms or not. Even...

So like most others we are in heat advisory with temps at 100 and feels like 124°. On top of that I'm treating my flock for coccidia. Ugh - so no electrolytes for them til after Sunday or Monday. I'm wondering if I could just dip their booties in cool water to wash their bums. Or would this be...

Awe thank u! I sure miss yall! I'm beyond busy with new grandbabies born 3 weeks apart couple months ago. Then I lost my favorite lil hen! Now I'm treating em all for coccidia. So been limiting my time on the phone to avoid being tempted with more chicks/chickens!

Hey I have a few girls that are a couple months older than a year old as well as a couple months shy of a year old and 4 of them have similar broken feathers off their backs above the tail area. Here's a pic of my Satin. Could this be caused from mating? I have 2 boys to 10 girls and am trying...

Oh! My colors!!! Excited to see this one grow out too!

Looks like buff more so me...can u get clearer pic?

Do they try to see who can climb to the top of ya....my d'uccle Chatty is always in my lap but.if someone else is too she's gotta be above em! She's been fighting one of my boys too! Lil turd

Oh that sounds awful not being able to keep em all! That's sad! You were definitely going to keep that one on the road to recovery! Whoa! That's a lot of stuff you had to do!!! Way to go!

Idk but these are some colors u would LUV to have seen in any of my hatches!!! I tend to get stuck with mostly dark blue or black chicks whenever I hatch even from shipped eggs from 7 different places it seems. #7 and 10 are gorgeous colors! Do you know the parents of these babies?

I'm so sorry!!! Don't u dare give up! You've come so far! Take some time to remember then and mourn the loss. Sit with the others and then double check every area that could have been breached. You know this is just part of raising one of the most preyed upon creatures. It doesn't help at the...

Awe I'm sorr my to hear that. We have similar issues here with people not showing up to build the back porch in place of the rotting deck. They were supposed to have been done in February and they can't say weather is the issue cause they have literally missed weeks of beautiful weather they...
