Gnats killed your silkies? Gnats like the little bugs that fly around? How does that happen????

Gnats are blood suckers.

I found this news link from 2007 about gnats.

In the first post, I :

Special Mention:
Vamp-A-Billy Princess. All of her silkies were killed the other day.

I'm so sorry!

Did gnats really kill them or was it something else?​

I'm so sorry about your silkie loss Vamp-A-Billy.

And thanks so much Envirogirl11 for the beautiful drawing! I just might have to start my own little poultry art gallery in my 'people room' that I have in my barn. I get more visitors there than in my house it seems!

 

[HorseFeathers]

No problem sunrise. I'll mail it tomorrow first class so it should get there soon.

Wow, we have some gorgeous birds and amazing photographers here at BYC! I can't believe how WHITE that one Silkie looked. Did you give it a bath with laundry blueing?

 

[goldensunriseranch]

If you mean Orion, nope he's never had any kind of bath. I just make sure the shavings are deep & clean and also don't feed anything with corn in it which can yellow their feathers.
Sometimes he gets down through the shavings enough that the red earth gets on him, but a few days and he's white again.
