Oh she's a beautiful fluff of snow! I love my white silkies! Bless her heart....she can't see a thing. She needs a hairbow.

I have no idea if it's a he or she - silkies are the hardest to tell.

Thanks for the compliment...I so fell in love with this one...I practically slept in the crate with her the first 2 nights (a pallet just outside the door!) I hope everyone knows what a "pallet" is in this instance...LOL! Sometimes growing up sleeping on pallets doesn't mean you're homeless...just that you have a home that is hot and your Mother makes a pallet for you to pile up on with your brothers next to the screen door to sleep on to catch a breeze...God! what memories! LOLOL... OK...weird...does resemble the chicks in the coop???

OK..I know what one is now.........I had no clue what one was until I was 24 or 25. DH's mom taught me. My lord....we didn't use those when I was growing up LOL.

DD used to love to make a pallet in DH's mom's living room floor and sleep.

Of course, my dog is now 6 yrs old, but her first week with us (she was 11 weeks old then) I slept on a pallet beside her crate.

Pallet to me = a pile of blankets folded up to lay on and a pillow

A light dusting of sevin should be fine.

I rarely use it on my silkies. I use ivermectin pour on so I can put a drop on the crest. I would not dust the crest with sevin in case of getting it in the eyes.

Will probably take a couple of days for her to start relaxing a little. Any signs of cocci in her poop? Amy can help there........I can't.

Poops very little bit a day but not too dry and definitely not runny or bloody (sorry for the explicit details but necessary!)...thats all I know about cocci...Amy? whats your opinion on all this? Wake up! LOL tomorrow will be fine lady!

I am more preventative than anything... that is why I treat 2-3 times a year for mites (every 3-4 months) and same for worms......depending - I have been known to treat for worms every other month - depending on the weather and how much free ranging...

Never have had to treat cocci...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will set her down tonight and remove the roost (it's late so thats all for now...tomorrow night I will trim her crest! I have rubbed...petted... and ruffled her feathers and do not see evidence of mites/lice but maybe I will treat her to be sure...She did have a miserable amount of gunk stuck to her feet that I soaked and washed and clawed off last night...I just got her late Sunday and she seemed so stressed so I have been trying to mess with her as little as possible but when the work week starts for me on Mondays that is not a problem...LOL...what should I do for the mites/lice? lightly dust her with seven? and then I will have to get my DD to help with the wormer this week-end... Thanks so much! I love her and soon will be looking for a mate...LOL

I've slept on a pallet many times! And I've put my babies on a pallet to take a nap too.

Nicole, my DD, can pick up a bird and tell if it is a rooster or not by the way it does when she holds it. She carries adult roosters around and they are so calm and fall asleep in her hands

If you don't have the ivermectin on hand,,,, the sevin should be fine.

Susanne......what do you use?

Nobody getting nothing I say!

I am playing on pogo actually. Can't sleep. The joy of fall............

Only person I know that is a seasonal insomniac..... maybe by the time I am 80 I will sleep all night year round.

That is my fave way to shop.............buy it online, have it shipped to me in a box, and all I gotta do is hide the box...then last minute... wrap the boxes!

Me too - I hardly ever shop at the mall. Hate the crowds. And this year Amazon has some things that are cheaper than Toys R Us. Santa's gonna be happy!
