We’ve gotten her to take a little sugar water over the last 24 hours if we hold her and hold the dish right up to her but most of the time she won’t take that either. If she’s separated from the...

    Is there a such thing as candling too often? We are have some eggs incubating and we are on day 6. Just want to know if there’s a such thing as candling too often?

    Is this a blocked vent?

    My chick has a swollen bum and is balding around her vent. Is this a poop blockage? If so, how do I help her? I soaked her bum in warm water, but I’m afraid to try and expel anything in case it’s nothing. She’s acting fine, and doesn’t look uncomfortable.

    1 wing missing

    3 week old silkie had a drooping wing when it was 1 week old. I noticed some blood coming out from the growing feathers so I thought maybe a feather pin broke and it was hurting. I cleaned it up and wrapped it to body for a week. After a week I removed bandage and the wing was no longer drooping...
