    Silkie Chicken Sick

    She passed away this evening, a couple of hours ago :( For the sake of the rest of the flock I might get her tested as it was a really unusual sickness/death (for us anyway!) I’m glad she’s at peace now. It was a horrible experience watching her deteriorate like that. Thank you for all of your...

    Silkie Chicken Sick

    I’d also like to know if there’s anything else I can do. I’m pretty much doing all of the care by myself as my family aren’t chicken people, so I’m trying my best. I’m terrified to tube feed her but I feel like I might have to, since she isn’t eating and hates it when I open her mouth. Thank you
