If it came out of a big egg, and it's a female, it will lay olive colored eggs.

The brownish one could be out of my FBCM/GCM cross... so the baby would be like 7/8ths FBCM

I knew that, Oops. Slip of the brain. I got too excited and lost it. Duh huh.

Not that you all don't already know this, but I wanted to say that LAREE ROCKS!!

I called her in a panic yesterday and she helped me out. My fave little hen (Naked Chick) was egg bound and prolapsing and she helped calm me down and get me thinking about what to do.

I did end up taking her to the vet. He got the (HUGE for an OEGB) egg out and the tissue back in, but I'm really worried about it popping back out

She has a little suture holding things in for now, but I'm sure she'll need to lay again so I will need to take the suture out at some point today (yikes). I know that she may very well prolapse again. I have her inside in a crate for now, and she's eating but being very quiet.

Has anyone else dealt with this before? Any advice? She is the sweetest hen, the one who has no idea that she's a chicken, and who would probably be a house chicken

if not for our parrotlets.

I just bought a 50# bag of Organic Chick Starter/Grower (Kruse) If anyone local wants to split it with me send me a PM. I'd prefer to buy more often so it stays fresher. I have a scale so it'll be a weighed split.

Okay, Thanks!!!! Oh, Chicken Little is doing really well today, all fluffy except two spots that still have a little egg ick, and is acting just like his/her siblings

Thanks again!!!

. Forgot to ask can silkies make it up to a three foot high roost? If not I have a perch I can put in.

Most won't, but some do. If you put a ladder up to the roost, or cinder blocks to jump up like stairs, it might help. Flo is used to sleeping on the "shelf" part of her pen.

Hi,
She answered my questions by getting up by herself the first night. Actually the Poop board is only 2 or 2.5 feet up, and she jumped up there and then onto the roost. We had a ladder in there, but nobody used it so we took it out - LOL!
She's doing really well, she's bonded to my two blue ameraucanas and they chill together in a big blue fuzzy pile.

I had one chick (came in the mail) that I had to pay special attention to constantly for 2 weeks. Every day I thougt she was not going to make it. I recognized her for a long time because she kept being tiny. Now at about 10 weeks I can't tell anymore

. She is doing just fine! (I know it's a girl because I only had one rooster out of 7 of that breed).
Sure yourswill be just peachy!

She's doing much better today (or he, who knows!). I'll probably give her another day and then do another wash with baby shampoo. Even fluffed out, she's about half the size of the others.
