    Silkie Weak, loses balance easily and slower

    I only have one silkie, so I’m not sure if this is normal or not. My silkie is just very unstable, she’s been like this for weeks, which is why I just assumed it may be normal for silkies to be weaker. When she comes out of her coop in the mornings she stumbles out like a drunken sailor. She has...

    Lethargic and skinny 1 year old hen!

    I have a 1 year old Brahma hen who is very skinny, not eating a lot, and generally lethargic and constantly tired. She doesn't move around much and chooses to lay down in random spots. It doesn't seem like she's eating a lot since I don't see her crop very full when I'm down there. She's in...
