i went to the laundry mat and when i just came back they both were half way fluff and chirping away.. and the chick with the big head and yolk sac left.. she's fighting.. most of her yolk has dried up and now she's trying to walk

she's a trooper

there are 2 silkie eggs left and both haven't pip through the air sac yet but there moving so looks like i'm going to have some late hatcher's but thats fine

OMG!

now i know why she has a big 4head.. she doesn't have eyes!

i just look at her and i can't find her eyes anywhere they look like they form inside her head she has no eyes or eye lids

i don't no what to do

I would say, since this is one of your Silkies (right?) which are your mom's babies (I think?) I would talk to her about how much care she is willing to give it.

There are people who have done alright with a blind chicken but I know it is a lot of work. I am so, so, sorry this happened to you. I know that is breaking your heart.

Cool, PBJmaker....another Silkie lover created!!!

Heres she is.. i can't see her eyes can you?

that lump on her head i think are her eyes inside of her head

.....

..

......

i don't want to cull her but i don't no how to take care of a blind chick/chicken

 

[luvmychicknkids]

Have you moved all those feathers around to make sure the eyes aren't just hidden? I wish you didn't have to make this decision.

Yup

i even had my parents look to see if i was seeing things.. but they can't find her eyes either...

she's so strong full of life... i don't want to have to cull something that is so healthy

 

[luvmychicknkids]

I wish there was something that could make this easier.
