I just love the molts where it looks like a chicken or 4 exploded. It always makes me do head counts. Then you have pre-plucked birds for a week.

Here's our Blue Wheaten Ameraucana's mini-explosion. This darn bird molted two or three times a year instead of one big molt. I never really saw bare skin on her in the 3 years we had her. Ameraucanas are sweet birds around Silkies but have too much under-fluff to live comfortably in our SoCal heatwaves.

Hi! I have added some silkies this year for the first time. This is one of the 2.

It's good you got Silkies in at least pairs. They really love to toodle around together

I got a smooth Silkie, this frizzle and a showgirl at the same time....I also have 2 sweet Polish, a d'Uccle rooster and one of the 2 cochins that I think will be good gentle flockmates for the silkies so far. Even the new Brahma from the set that is now 7 weeks old is really sweet and I think looks promising to stay in the more gentle pen.

Hey Guys I Back With Some News And A Question. A while back i posted some chicks who i though would be cuckoo since they had baring well 7 are turning to be be grey's or silver penciled partridge silkies i have 1 that might be cuckoo i am waiting on that one more to grow and i have 2 porcelain silkies one is light one has more lavender coloring and 2 partridge and 2 blues so that is my update on them. will hopefully get update photos

And now for the question i have came down with another case of wry neck on one of the grey chick it is about a month old. She was very bad but i gave her all the meds she needed and she is now getting the straight neck back again no attacks and is now drinking and eating but i am kinda getting concerned i have to give her her meds and water through a syringe and she is getting water in her nose a little each time she drinks because she moves her head and she is sneezing a little here or there and i heard she can get it in her lungs but could that hurt her or she would have to gt alot of water in her lungs to hurt her??
