Thank you. I'll try to look up the formula for that. I really hope she's going to be ok. I haven't checked on her yet this morning (just woke up). She does have the super dark skin so I doubt I'd be able to see any bruising buy I did feel around and nothing feels broken. It also doesn't look like she's lost much blood but I want the one who found her in the coop so I don't know if there was boys in there or not. Last night, I made her a little capsule out of dollar store baskets, lined the bottom with a towel and put her at the far end of my brooder to keep her warm and keel the babies off of her. I know, not the most quiet place but she felt chilly to me. She been wrapped in a towel since I found her. I showed her to my husband last night when he got home from work and he asked me why I didn't just put her out of her misery. But, he doesn't understand shock at all either. All he sees is a little, injured chicken that can't even move (it was late and she was definitely sleeping).

Everyone keep your fingers crossed for her. If she does make it through, she needs a good name. She's a little lavender silkie.

She must've had some internal injuries. She passed away in my arms this morning :( I'm really disappointed. I only have 3 silkies left (not counting the older roo) and she was the only lavender. One of the silkie that I do have left has a crook neck and has been wearing a neck brace for a week straight now. I'm hoping that one recovers but that only leaves me two that are strong and healthy. One of which is super tiny. Hopefully they're girls. It would be my luck to end up with all boys :/

The fawn also passed away, the day after I found her. She was just way too weak unfortunately.

I'm so sorry.... I would expect internal injuries also with what happened.
:hugs

May I ask, If you free range and he does well, why would you need to give him away?

We have to many roosters. He's one of three silkies rooster and we have a ba and rir rooster. Plus they're all in the same coop and run and their hormones are starting to come in. I don't want to kill him or have him be killed or wounded when they fight

I currently have three adolescent boys and six girls (two adults)....currently, #3 has one adolescent girl and the other two are sharing the other 5 girls...the pecking order is pretty well set between the boys....its a little harder on the girls, but the alpha roo is pretty level headed and the #2 boy just can't mess with the older girls without the assistance of the alpha....I have a bunch more two week olds that will ease the pressure on the existing girls...so far so good...you may just want to wait it out...in general if roosters killed each other, many flocks would be negatively impacted...nature has a way of accommodating these types of imbalances, my two cents....
