He doesn't look like he has wry neck

Do you have another picture? If his head is a little crooked it might be permanent damage, but honestly I can't even see anything wrong with him by this picture...

If he's stressed, he will tuck his head way down between his feet. Sometimes, his head turns all the way around down there. I've pulled out the big guns med...

It was funny going thru CVS with a straight face. The even asked his date of birth!

Thought I'd share some pictures from last evening. The silkies are hard to tell apart in age now. I have two groups that are 2 weeks apart in ages. Younger group 8 weeks, older group 10 weeks.
Awesome!














This is my favourite one. She is adorable.

I have quite a few whites growing out, but they are not free ranging yet, so hard to get good photos. I'll be moving them outside this weekend. They are 5 & 6 weeks old. I normally would have moved them already, but we had a cocci scare and I put it off.

He also runs backwards.

Thanks!

Will join this silkie thread! My white silkie not sure if a pullet or rooster though..


Quote: The pullet definitely looks blue in the photo, but sometimes pictures and computers can be decieving; especially of a flash is used.

HI,

I need help I have a laverender hen and a partridge rooster. They have been together for about 3 months. I hatched out a solid white chick from them. The chick is about 8 weeks old.
I thought that it would change colors it has not, I do not understand how this happened. Please any info would help on this issue.

thank you,
Richard

They each carried a copy of recessive white, and the chick inherited it from each parent.

I am looking for a few silkie chicks. Would prefer females, unbearded, any colors. I am in Peeples Valley, north east of Wickenburg and South West of Prescott, willing to drive to the valley or Prescott, AZ. Please PM me if you have new chicks.

You can't sex silkie chicks; genders are often unknown for many months. Well, you can DNA test, but that is not cheap

Quote: You would be surprised how many people get meds for their animals at the pharmacy. When I was getting meds for my duck, it was WAY less expensive than at that vet's office (my usual vet is much more reasonable, but he was out when Dreamboat was injured). I did have to sign a HIPAA (privacy) statement for her, though!

Beautiful! I would love to get my hands on partridges. Nobody around here seems to sell them.
