I'd place my bet on digestive system issues.  Of the hundreds I hatched this year, a few exhibited "failure to thrive", where the symptoms were often as you described.  They hatched the same size and looked good, but as the days went on they fell dramatically behind in weight gain and size.  I did autopsies on two and found gut twists near the navel that had obstructed the intestine.  Once they began eating, it hurt, so they quit.  Nothing you can do about that.


I never would have thought about doing an autopsy on a bird after death. I will have to remember that.
Trying to... OH thinks it's a fox... I think it's a weasel...
Our local bunnies are chased away by the ducks, lol...

This thing is pulling the birds though small squares in the cage... no hope of recovery...

Hope yours get found... maybe they flew high up in a tree...

I was going to say raccoon until I saw the post!!!;) My friend down the street lost Silkies that way....like SC said they were headless.

It's a coon... just found tracks... **** thing fell in the rat trap bucket eating the peanut butter and left prints from the oil...

It never hit at the same times... sometimes at night, sometimes late morning after it was light out... don't have cams... and knew it wasn't a feathered prey animal as it pulls the birds out through an enclosed cage...

Catch it and relocate a minimum of 5 miles or more away or kill it.

Catch it and kill it. They are too smart, too dangerous. Their hands allow them to do things other predators can't. I agree with the other posters, I've walked out to find headless silkies. If you don't have a trap, buy one. It will keep coming back, and those critters are smart


He is right. They are super smart and have a 4 mile radius of their den. I caught a cat in my live trap last night that I am taking up to Animal control today at 1. Lol!! I was expecting a raccoon. ;)
