The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[tadpole98]

my silkie hen is sick.

this morning when i brought her in she was doing so much worse. she wouldnt open her eyes and she just had no strength. I did was i always do when i dont know what wrong:
check for mites/lice. yep, so I gave her a warm bath. Which really got her feeling better. After that and the blow drying she opens her eyes and eats and drinks.
we hard boiled eggs. put olive leaf extract over them, and put rooster booster in her water. yogurt will be bought tonight

shes eating a lot now! going back and forth between the food and water. i think she will pull through, but i cant help but blame myself. what did i do wrong?

I have no luck with Silkies. I'm sure it's nothing you did. You sound like a great chicken parent, it just happens.
