Put a new fence up do you think my silkies can get over it. They don't jump or anything

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it here
it looks to much

That is so cute. My Silkies respect any barrier I put up but if they REALLY want on the other side I've seen one of mine jump 4 feet in the air straight up or she'll push and push on the barrier until she finds a weak spot to get through. I use a 2' tall 50-ft long roll of rabbit fencing to keep my Silkies out of our vegetable garden and it works very well. In fact the LF respect the fence too even though they can easily fly/jump over it but they won't. In answer to your question, Yes, they can get over your fence if they REALLY want or need to.

I may just euthanize her. MO eyes is getting tight and I just spent 800 on cat surgery. I noticed she doesn't really stand with the others and it's harder for her tonwalk. I work at animal shelter.. maybe I can talk my boss into it. I don't want her to suffer. But first I'll try vitamins for a while

Did you happen to see Post #48406 on this thread with FancyChookLady's little bantam boy who has the curled toe issue too?

Do you count the day you put the eggs in the bator? It's the 20th day without counting the first day we put them in. We put then into the bator on the 5th.

What you are describing is known as ' stargazing ' . The muscle atrophy caused by vitamin B deficiency can show up anywhere in their bodies.
Some polyvisol ( without iron ) administered a drop at a time into the beak morning and night . Or a drop added to scrambled egg or oatmeal.

I'm confused, what space do you need to ferment feed? Unless you have hundreds of birds lol.
