Silkie thread!

My shipped hatching eggs broke my heart but I found a silkie breeder in driving distance from my house. I picked these 2 up today. I have NO IDEA how old they are. I am a nervous wreck. Convinced they won't eat or drink. I am tweaking the brooder but they seem pretty content. Omg you guys I am just.....over the moon....and just BWAAAHH! We named the big one Buddha and the little one is Mo. I hope my picture shows up. I haven't posted very much.

Oh they are so cute and look like they are best buds already!
I would guess the older one to be about 6-8 weeks old and the younger one to be about 2-3 weeks old. These are just guesses! I really don't know.

That was about what I estimated. They are buds. The big one is really protective of the little one. If you take the little one away he hollers until you give it back!

Cute! Look at those fuzzy legs :D did you get them from Tonya Morris in Oregon? I got some of mine from her she lives a short ways down the free way from me. Adorable peeps!
 
I need help! Is vetrx a good thing for treating lice or mites? What do you guys prefer? I have a tractor supply near me so that would be the best place to go, but anything you guys know please tell me :) home remedies or whatever you guys do! Is ash something good? I've seen ppl do that and I believed I've tried that at one time but anything will help!

No. Go for Sevin dust or something similar. The wood ash and DE are okay as a preventative, but wont do diddly squat once you have an infestation. Treat with the Sevin, and then do it again in 7-10 days. Clean all bedding out of the coop both times you treat.

Good luck!
 
I use Ivermectin injectable. .2cc for bantam. Put it on skin where the mites are like you would flea meds on cats and dogs. It clears them up quick. I've never had a bad reaction to it. I killed several with Sevin Dust. Get the large gage needle to draw it out of the bottle. Its really thick. Take the needle off or leave it in the bottle if your treating more than one and just squeeze it on the bird, but make sure you get it on the skin.
