Hey all, New kid on the block here, from King George va. Mother of , now 
, 5 bantams, one bantam/silkie mix. Just lost my silkie last night/this a.m. to a predator, lost a juvenille bantam last week. Wondering what I can do to not lose any more. I have only had them about two months. Interested in getting another silkie also if anyone knows where to buy one in the area. I had Bella(my silkie) for two months, I adopted her from a man who use to show silkies, and couldnt take care of them any more. When I added Bella to my pin she was the weakest link. I thought that she had been attacked by the rooster, because she had been missing almost her whole right wing. Now I am not so sure it was the Rooster. I nursed her almost back to life, she would not eat or move for two days, in my home for two weeks straight. All I could get her to eat was corn on the cob, and watermelon, which was fine by me as long as she was eating something. Then I built her a tempary pin ,until we could build a coop and pin for her. This a.m. I went out to check on her and she was gone, had a fence tourn down and feathers leading towards the woods. Sad to say that I searched every where and she is gone. Now I am wondering if I should be worried about my others? Anyone with advice?
