(Sorry I don't know where else to put this?)
Winter is coming! And here in new england we get quite a lot of snow...a lot of snow....this I my silkies first winter and my first winter with silkies, my question is, how hardy are they? Currently their in the barn in a stall because they got a little wet and I don't want them freezing, in the stall they have wood shavings and hay (I ran out of wood shavings and thought they may like to nest in the hay) twix seems ok but jade is starting to make me worry, jade won't move much, she can stand and walk, she looks fine and doesn't have diarrhea, but she just prefers to stand and not do anything? She sometimes "shakes" her neck??? Her crop seems a little hard?? So yeah my two final questions are...is jade sick? And how hardy are silkies? (Remember I live in new england and it can get freezing cold) forgot to mention the barn is a shed and there are no outlets for heat lamps or anything like that.
