I’m so sad. This morning I found my sweet little Silkie boy, Festus, dead. He was fine yesterday. The day before he was “helping“ me build his new geodome home. He was prancing around, singing and humming. I have never had one sing and hum like him before. He was so happy and had such a sweet disposition.
There was no sign of injury or trauma. Two years ago I lost my gray Silkie rooster, Foster, the same way. No reason, just dead. I’m so upset.
He’s only lived here for 10 days. He played well with others. Except he would chase my bantam Cochin rooster. I just don’t understand: I have Silkie eggs that will be hatching in 15 days. He was fed well. I read that Silkies need extra protein do he got mealy worms and I added a little game food in with his crumbles. Did I do something wrong?
