This is the silkie thread

But get a silver laced. I have one, he is my avatar, his name is Toulouse. But be warned, they are not very common in the US and I don't think there are a lot of breeders who breed them, so you may need to get hatchery. BUT, Toulouse is a second generation hatchery and he is gorgeous so you never know.

He is very handsome and I love the name!

The reason I don't do this is because when washing their heads they pull them down into the water, and if you try to keep their heads up they fight harder to put them down. You can always get a cheap faucet fixture that attaches right to the faucet, they make them for bathing dogs.

Kayla,
I have a short sprayer on my sink right now, which works fine for the chickens. For quite some time, I have been looking for a longer one to use with my disabled daughter. Thanks so much for the links!

Silkie/sizzles --- I have 5 chicks 5 weeks old. They are all growing but one. I see her eat, but she isn't much bigger than she was at 2 weeks. She is a silkie. I have 2 sizzles that are growing like crazy!! She used to be the same size as one of the sizzles- now its 1/3 the size. Should I worry? She acts normal, but she seems to be a late- bloomer in the wing- flapping dept.

Here is the size difference!!! They were exactly the same 3 weeks ago. The one on the right is a Sizzle. Do they grow differently or faster than Silkies?

I just noticed one of my birds has scaly leg mites. I'm going to try the Nustock. Do you have to reapply daily our does one time do it?

I would reapply in about four days. Nustock is amazing stuff.
