Info needed on my paint silkies, They have like a champange (sp?) coloring on them is this a normal color seen on paints?

usually when paints have been breed back to paints they will have a darker background instead of white

Will post pics of my paints tomorrow they made a long trip and are resting now. I got a paint roo and a paint hen both of which have the darker coloring on them.

I think I'm going to have to re-worm mine. Mine are grown with poopy butts, like they've had diarrhea. I wonder if I can worm them again? Just wormed them a month or two ago (have to look at my record) Only supposed to use it 2 times a year. They have had ACV and yogurt. I was going to bring one in to foster incubator chicks if the hatch, but I don't want to expose them to whatever it is. hmmm. Skinny and poopy. Sound like worms. have never seen them. Only the girls have it. Oh well- I think I've been clogging this site up with that already in the past. I'll research and see how soon I can use it again (Ivermectin)..Maybe I'll go to TSC and try the other that someone suggested. Don't have the name of it. I'm lazy typing. Bed is calling me early tonight.

So Cute she does look like my Silkie Cross. I believe mine is a silkie x Ameraucana (maybe cochin mixed in) not positive. Here is a better pic of her.

Yeah, if that is the one you have been using regularly, I would use a different one every once in a while. I have read they can build a resistance to treatments if not changed up. I have not yet had to worm them yet(haven't had them long enough)

Here is some information on using a soap product to disolve the protective coating of the worm to allow the chickens normal acids to kill the worm.
