Silkie thread!

Does ACV help with pasty butt in chicks? Is it ok to give them in the water this young (4 days old)?

Yes, you can give ACV in their water. Start with a very small ammount so they don't get overwelmed and refuse to drink it though. Also be sure they have plenty of ventalation and can get away from the heat as they need to as that can also cause pasty butt. If they are on shavings they sometimes eat them and that can also cause it. Hope they get over it soon!

Yeah it's okay, it might help but make sure you keep their bums clean.

Hey everyone I was just posting here because no one seems to be interested. My only white silkie and hen was killed the other day . Don't know how but I found her in the yard. I'm so upset and anyway I have 6 standard chickens I would love to trade for a hen. Doesn't have to be show quality. Whoever is interested would get 2 buff Orpington hens one too and two barred Plymouth Rock Roos and one hen. I just want one white hen silkie. Can anyone help me out?

Might help to post where you are located? I would try craigslist in your area.....

You talkin' to me?

Okay. I see a Diva in training!

How are her feet doing?

Whoohoo! My friend just ordered 36 showgirl eggs! So she said I can have a chick if they hatch this time! The last hatch was a bust =( something was wrong with the eggs. So by the time I would be able to take it, I should hopefully have my house if everything goes as planned!

Oh, those showgirls are so funky looking.

You'll have a flock of all different sorts. That's great.

Watching over her best buds.. She calls her friends to food she finds. Is that not strange? I have never witnessed that behaviour in anything other than a broody hen or a rooster. Whatever. She is a she - I'm sure of it.

She's looking good! That's a great picture.

Location would be helpful.

And people love to see pictures, if you have any to post.
I've had good luck with Craigslist also.

They are happier if they have a buddy you should get two. What were the symptoms of your Silkie? Did she act funny, any wounds, lice/mites, worms? Sorry for your loss.
