I am so sorry!

LOL... Apparently not long enough because he took off and sat in the tree watching me! The spoon might have scared him because he never came back!

LOL..Yes, he is here! It wasn't funny at the time but now looking back if anyone would have seen me they would have thought I was crazy! I heard a commotion buy the bushes. Henry must have called all the youngsters under the bush when he seen the hawk coming. I had seen the hawk on top of Henry...

LOL...you are right Sonoran. Some of my smallest silkies are the most bossy ones in the coop!

I know what you mean! Was it hot where you are? I had the same thing here the other day! Everyone was fighting with each other and it happened to be the hottest day here so far at the time. I blamed it on the heat, that it made everyone crazy! LOL Even my 2 Fav boys were fighting and they never...

Don't give up on him yet! I have a non-bearded white boy and it seemed he blossomed overnight! Here he is at about 4 months Here he is at about 5 1/2 months old.

From what I can see, it looks like she might be a silver partridge. Can you post a close up of her? We should be better able to tell what color she is.

I am late posting but your chicks are gorgeous!

Thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks! That is what I am thinking. He came out of a mixed pens. I have even younger ones that seem like they will be the same color as him. I am liking him though. I can't wait to see how he looks all grown up!

Here is one of my young boys. I am just starting to see some streamers starting.

It is very sad when you have to do this and usually it is the sweet ones and it makes it even harder. I am currently worried about my youngest girl because she has been broody. She hatched 2 chicks but doesn't want to give up yet. I will very soon have to try to break her of the broodiness. She...

I am sorry to hear that! I have 2 crossbeaks here. The younger girl is pretty severe. I do a little extra for her by making a mash with grit mixed in and use like a game bird feed. They are large pieces and she can pick that up easier. She figured out if she jumps right into the feed tub she can...

I am so sorry. It sounds like they are in very good hands! Respiratory disease can also cause leg paralysis so you could be battling the same thing, just different symptoms. If francis does not make it, It might be a good idea for a necropsy to see what you are up against. I would be highly...

Oh Good! Sounds like you may need a beach towel!

hokankai .... were you able to see how I had used the doughnut for my girl? I do not have flock raiser available where I live so my only option is to mix layer & non-medicated chick starter together and a side of knockout. I have roosters, layers, broodies & chicks together and it has done...

I did find a few old pictures of Sugar in her doughnut. I am not sure how well you can see it to get a good idea. If not, I will just make another one when I get back from the store and upload a picture. I do miss that girl! Sugar was the sweetest thing and would hobble over to snuggle with me...

I am so sorry. You could make a "doughnut" by rolling up a towel longways and taping up the ends to fit it for him. I had done that when I had first started with chickens for one of my girls that lost the use of her legs. Making the doughnut allowed her to be propped up no matter which way she...

Did you also check for lice and or mites? They can knock them down pretty quickly. The reason I ask is because of the head shaking.

Ok, I have another what color is this silkie post. This is the first one to pop out like this and it looks like I might have a younger one that could be the same color. She has blue underfluff with more of a gold color. She is about 3 1/2 months old.
