hi
I have 2 x 5 month old silkie pullets that are not thriving. i know silkies are skinny normally but this is not normal.
I have separated them out so they can get more food but it is not working. I picked the smaller one up and she so light and skinny that I was shocked, it was like she was not there. Also both of the pullets are half the size or less of their siblings for same batch and parents. They also both have watery poo's both move around but the smaller does not scratch around much. their both lethargic, but the smaller ones the worst.
I have wormed them. They also have 24/7 free choice food and water.
Help what do i do?, I don't want to have to put them down. The smaller pullet is one of my favorite's.
