I have 7 chickens right now- 5 that are 3 months old....
and 2 silkies that are about 2 months old (kept separately from the older chickens)
I just finished up the coop and was planning to introduce the two groups to each other before putting them all outside- and that's when I noticed the splash silkie has fairly bad crossed over beak.
I am planning to call vets on Monday to see how much it will cost to have the silkie culled....
My questions are :
- Does having it culled seem like the best option? I am not really comfortable shooting it or breaking it's neck I'm not sure how else people put them down?
- Should I still try to introduce the other younger silkie to the group on her own ?
