Mine will flap and hop around in the crate. They wont get on the roost that is 4 or 5 inches up,
but will sit on the 'baby roost' that is only an inch or so off the ground.
Sometimes when i get them out to run in the living room they will hop back in the crate.
They ack scared to fly off of my leg when I sit in the floor with them.
Silly kids.

maggie thinks she can fly. silly baby!

Quote: The breeder I bought them from had easy listening piped throughout her house, so the incubating eggs as well as the brooding new chicks were exposed to it.
For that matter I exposed my Daughter to classical when she was a baby and she responded to it very positively.
Reminds me of studies I've read about various plants and animals being exposed in test groups to various types of music and without and how they seemed to thrive.
Makes sense to me.

You've probably got better natural immunity for fighting the same flu next time around. Don't know about Tasmania but in the States there are so many flu types and they keep mutating that no one flu shot covers them all anyway. Fluids, bed rest or taking it easy with minimal chores and let the family make their own dinner and holler at them to clean up their own mess! Works for me when I'm sick

you two are very entertaining

Its raining for first time since silkies went outside they are enjoying the rain and refuse to be cooped or I'm just to lazy to chase them all over the yard so I set up a covered area with a heat lamp under it so they have a draft free place in yard to warm up when they are tired of the rain and its 68 degree even with rain so I'm thinking they will be okay lol

If there are any indiana people on here looking for chicks, and dont mind hatchery, our TSC has a bin full of week old white silkie chicks. Chicks days ends next week, so I hope they find homes for them. I honestly cant believe they are still there. They weren't labeled, I suggested to them to label the bin, otherwise since they are white, people may just glance down and think they are cornish or something. Being a week old they are about the size of day old LF.
