I think you took a wrong turn somewhere...

I recommend not doing this to chickens at all unless you have someone experienced to teach you and guide you (IN PERSON!) Silkies and other bantam are much too delicate for such an invasive procedure. I cannot let this comment go, sorry about that, I really prefer people not harming their chickens.

I would do a search for "feed and seed" on Google with your city and state

silkier are not typical layers, they take much longer to come into lay, sometimes upwards of one year!

Is that the only possibility when you get a smooth silkie? That the drizzle gene is involved? I thought smooth/fluff and straight/fizzle were two genes independent of eachother?

Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but I thought this was a sizzle. :hide

did you post the wrong picture? I don't see a sizzle.

I don't know what they are. They don't look like silkies to me though.

their crops empty overnight. You would need to check it at night when they go to roost.

@kabhyper1 I remember @TOOCLOSE talking about this with one of hers. Her bird actually had a piece of something stuck in her sinus cavity and it caused the ear infection and then abscess.

can you give them some poultry nutridrench? What are you feeding them?

sorry to hear of your losses. Can you om me the hatchery name? Have you figured out exactly what it is that caused it? Perhaps we can help? Start from the beginning....

this is SnoopDog my splash sizzle (from @rbaker0345) and below is her bestest friend in the whole, wide world, Dr. Dre the LF cochin.

just be aware of what mix you get. I have a BRxAmeraucana pullet who is VERY serious about her place in the pecking order. She may just have to go...

I would trim the feathers of the beard and crest away from the eyes. Some out of this batch have completely obscured vision and I've had to trim them. They practically just learn how to "be blind" the same way a chicken who was born without eyes does it. Still able to eat and drink and get...

some will roost. I prefer to teach mine to be chickens so they don't get pooped on or poop in their butt feathers from sleeping and pooping, does that happen?

have you ever wormed your birds? I think worms is the first thing that should be ruled out. Possibly mites/lice could be an issue as well.

The goat liquid will medicate more chickens. The 10% liquid goat wormer is the same strength as the 10% horse paste. Each one is .5cc for 1kg (2.2 lbs.) Valbazen is something you have to order online, probably...I would have to. pyrantel I have heard horrible things about using it in...

will you have a necropsy done? a fecal test for your flock?

Sorry to hear that :(
