Oh just checked the calender and he actually turned 14 weeks old yesterday. Easy birthday to remember.. He was hatched on thanksgiving. I put this pic together of him at 3 days old. Thought you might want ithaha yes I didhe is so pretty. I need to find rooster collars for a large fowl and one big enough for a silkie rooster. I hope your hatching goes better then planned
just keep me posted on how your hatches go.
I think he is going to be tall as well. He's 15 weeks old and towers over my other chick's that are older then he is lol. I can't wait to see what he fills out like.
Wow, that poor guy! I have never had to deal with pests with my chickens, but I have read diatomacious earth works wonders. Also, per his wounds, coconut oil has some amazing healing and antiseptic qualities. It is very soothing on wounds. Good luck, and bless you for taking care of that poor guy!He must have mites or lice I saw a bug on him when I lifted his wings. My girls don't have any pests and I would like to get them gone asap . . . . Advice? I have some balm I could slather his comb with and I've given him some probiotics and some vitamins. He seems to be improving.
Neglected isn't the word. They are totally wild. I'm not sure who owns that property and I hope they don't mind that I stole their rooster but I couldn't stand by and let it die like that.

I will get some on the way home thank you so much. I got his wounds covored and he seems to be pretty happy. Still hasn't tried eating but keeps drinking just fine.
