I was hoping you'd chime in!

Up her protein level and add oily seeds to her diet: black oil sunflower, safflower, flax. You can also mix canola oil and cod liver oil into her feed. Get a pumpkin now while they are cheap and break it open for her (and the rest of the flock) to munch on, seeds and all (pumpkin seeds are very high protein).

I have tons of winter squash. Do you know if they are as good as pumpkin?

Gambit,

You won the auction for my cockerals, right? You need to make payment because I am shipping out tomorrow.

Pumpkin and winter squash are in the same family, so they should be just fine. Try hanging some up in the run.

Haha, that's awesome! My hubby thought I was nuts for letting one of our silkies try to lay an egg in our bathroom on an old towel... (She had followed me in there while I was getting ready one afternoon & started her egg song out of nowhere; but then didn't lay one til about an hour later or so once I put her back outside...)

Has anyone given b vitamins to there silkie for wry neck. One of my silkie was peck in the head and she's not acting well.
