Could it be a Vitamin B2 deficiency? http://www.thepoultrysite.com/publications/6/diseases-of-poultry/217/vitamin-b2-deficiency

Thank you! It sure looks like it could be this for sure!! One thing I have noticed with her since she is in the house is that she is a very "dainty eater" and takes little tiny bites and takes her good old time eating. MAybe she wasn't getting enough because all the others would eat it up before her???
She doesn't have any trouble eating, she just takes her good old time with little dainty pecks, then she will chirp & talk, take a few little pecks and so on???

Wacky weather stinks! I hate having a teaser day of warmer weather only for the temps to plummet the next day. Last month we were in the 70's the beginning of the week then the middle of the week it snowed 2 inches and the temps dropped down to the single digits and stayed there for three days it was insane! By the next week we were back in the 70's go figure lol

What age can you start picking out wing problems like split wing on silkies?

Colie <3 - Did you win the Silkie Auction you're bidding on? I never went back to see if you had won it or not.
