Oh you poor thing. It's always the way or it's it just that we are prone to create accidents when we are rushing around like blue arsed flies. :hugs

As always, beautiful pictures on this thread!

Sadly, I will never know for sure if Suzi the 5 month old Silkie was a pullet .. she passed away last week.
At the beginning of the week she had a touch of diarrhoea but otherwise was fine. I thought it was about time for a worming so that was done. She came good and was back to normal for the rest of the week. Checked everyone had got to bed OK on Thursday night; no dramas all happy and healthy. Friday morning Suzi was laying on her side in the nest box, when I spoke to her she opened her eyes, tried to lift her head and then closed her eyes, she passed away not long after that

I have no idea what happened .. maybe she ate something she shouldn't have or something bit her. Devastated! :(

So I now have a single Silkie, Tina, which I have read over and over is not good as they like the company of other Silkies. She is doing fine with her Aunty Dusty, Bantam Langshan and seems to be trying to make friends with Cilla's 5 week old Pekin Cochin bubbies, Tammy and Blondie who appear to like her also.

Three of the chicks went to their new home last week and one of the two I kept is definitely a pullet, still not sure on gender of the other one yet; thinking pullet which is why I kept her.

When the three chicks left, I decided it was time to remove the dividing wire and I now have one run, two coops and 5 mixed bantams who seem to be getting along pretty well.

Like everyone else, we have had some pretty soggy days of late but I am hoping to get some nice pictures to share over the weekend.

Take care and happy chickens!
