I'm not sure what meds you are giving her, but try dissolving in as little water as possible then soak it up with bread and feed her the bread.

.25 cc tylan 50 orally.


Have you pulled down on her beard/waddles? They will open their mouths when you do this. Some will be good but some you have to hold them like a football and do it at the same time to keep them from pulling back. You shouldn't give up so soon. Tylan works very quickly, assuming it's crd. Only takes 5 days. Also squirt it as far back as possible. Try the bread idea, or mix it in a little bit of wet mash and spoon feed it to her.

Have you got someone to hold her for you? If you can't get her to take it , squirt a bit at a time into a bit of bread and offer it to her. Another way would be to add it to a little mash or scrambled egg.

It's already set. I can't afford for anymore to get sick.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

This is Twilight Sparkle, 5 weeks old. Are those streamers or just feathers overtaking fluff? I have three silkies that hatched the same day. They're all exactly the same size.

That is normal beginning crest growth. Streamers come off the BACK of the head (not the top), and it will be many weeks before they start showing up.

Black silkie rooster supposedly a year old. First silkie I have had. Has 3 RIR and 3 BR hens with him. Don't know much about silkies, any thoughts/insights on him from you silkie experts would be appreciated.

Aw he's cute =) Not the best quality, pet quality at best because he lacks foot feathering, a crest, and has a single comb rather than a walnut comb. But he will make a great boyfriend for your girls!
