Okay, here are the 4 babies so far.

Splash. Blue, Blach and Patriadge. I have no idea what color the older one is, exactly, he looks silver. LOL

The surviving baby, I also have no idea what color she is yet, she's still all wet. The others are out of the incubator and with my single hatchling silkie - and I've got the latest one drying off in the incubator and on her feet before I move her.

see the bigger silkie in the left corner.

Not 100% sure if this one is going to make it, but we will see.

​

Is that shell only attached by the umbilical strings or is their yolk yet?

This article offers a list of the most common parasites of sheep, both external(ectoparasites) and internal (endoparasites) parasites. Most sheep parasites are also goatparasites, although goats may be affected by some specific parasites that do not affect sheep.

Diseases caused by parasites are called parasitosis.
Detail information on the biology and control (life cycle, anatomy, prevention, chemical control, etc.) of each species is available in specific articles in this site. To visit these specific articles click the corresponding link, navigate through themenu, or use the site map.

• «$» to «$$$$$» indicates the magnitude of the economic damage on cattle caused by a parasite on a worldwide basis. The more «$», the higher the damage.
• «R» to «RRRRR» indicates the magnitude of the resistance problems of these parasites to parasiticides on a worldwide basis. The more «R», the higher the risk of resistance.

Thanks, I have one chick in the brooder from her under the bcm would like another

As far as I can tell, it's just the egg shell, attached to the cord. I did not see any signs of yolk - HOWEVER, she did pip through something that resembled yolk/vein and it was glued to her, which is why I had to help her out. I was very careful not to disturb anything, and didn't want to pull on the cord. She's okay in there, resting for now. But I'd like to get her perked up, seperated, fluffed and in with the others. They are eating and drinking and running around with Lucky, my older silkie.

I missed that. Sorry, it is a real problem with over worming and worming with the wrong med. Resistance is getting too common so I am a bit touchy.

Do you know I don't deworm ANY of my animals, unless I absolutely have too? With the exception of my dog, I do deworm them if they show signs of getting sick, or losing weight.. they eat wild animals and we have worms in our cactus here.

I had a mastiff that no matter how many times I had worms, and would deworm, would have them again in a freaking week, because she wouldn't stop eating the cactus.

with that said, I did deworm my oldest horse, but only because she's a hard keeper, and I wanted to make sure we were starting off with her wormed, so I could keep track of everything else. We don't have a vet here, for livestock - so we have to play doctor I do not worm with the seasons, like some people tell you to do.

However, I have never dewormed my chickens, or my goats.

I have dewormed my outside cats 1x in the last year, but only because they were drastically losing weight. I don't ever deworm my indoor cats, (but again - they are also fat.)
