Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

is it IN her throat? If it is, she may actually have canker. Check the inside of her throat and see if you can see any crusties inside her beak and in her throat.

What are the signs of canker?

It's not canker, she doesn't have anything in her mouth. I am going to put a drop of ivermectin on her neck and dust her with Sevin and see what happen. Next weekend I will give her another bath with the Aveeno treatment and by then I really hope I will see some improvement.

I was looking over my newest batch of chicks and this is what developed.



Is crossbeak a genetic thing or can it be something during incubation? It hasn't popped up before. I'm hoping it's a freak thing, but I'm afraid that it may be one of the hens or the roo. I feel the need to break the hens down into groups of 2 so I can more closely monitor and identify who is throwing what. So frustrating!

I wouldn't do both at the same time..Ivemectin will kill almost everything...wait a week to see if it is working and redose after 2 weeks. If it is mites, you will have to treat all your birds.
