Our 10 month old feathery one recently passed and were not sure why???? Very sudden.. I hear the silkie breed is very good at hiding ailments.. weve had here since she was 2 weeks old, got her from a farm, not a breeder.. grew up in our house with 2 small dogs-- would stay in a fenced off area in yard during day, inside at night.. EXTREMELY friendly and smart... she did get crook neck once but vitamin E and B took care of it pretty fast.. we came home the other day and she couldnt stand up and head pretty limp, labored breathing etc... 40 min later was gone????? trying to fig out why?? we did notice her egg laying went from everyday to 3-4 days sometimes and did lay a nickel size egg once. other than that we didnt notice anything else, no mites no worms.. but the wild birds did love to go in her pen & eat her food \ water... any insight anyone?? were bummed
only other thing we could think of is one of the dogs "maybe" bit her when she was in the house but its never happened before
