Hi from Southeast Texas!

Our chicken ride has been a wild one. I got on here because our silkies suddenly died this week. I'm heartbroken. We HAD 2 silkies and 2 reds, but now we are down to 2 reds. And of those two, one is suffering from a serious yeast infection AND brumblefoot. I could really use the encouragement and advice this group has to offer! Thank you so much.

Welcome. I am so sorry for your losses.
Yeast is hard to get rid of, but start by cutting out high carb treats, such as scratch. You can treat them with a femine yeast cream 2x a day for 7 days.
I do not do surgery on bumbleffot. I soak the foot in warm water 2x a day for about 5 minutes. Dry carefully and release. After soaking for a few days, peal off the scab, apply antibiotic cream (no pain reliever type) and wrap with vet wrap. Do this 1 or 2x a day until healed.
Good luck, and hang in there. It will get better.
