I'm really scared right now because this hasn't happened to me before. I went to my coop to check on my silkies this morning and I have a single chick that lives with them. The chick was about a week week and a half maybe but I found them dead where they slept this morning I'm guessing they died...
I feed and water my 10 week old chicks today and I was sitting there watching them eat like any normal chicken owner. And after they ate I picked one up(not hard I just lifted them I didn't grab her) after maybe a minute she jumped down and started walking around and doing normal chick stuff...
This is my first time getting already hatched chicks online. And their going to be shipped in two weeks. And zi just want to know if raising shipped chicks is any different. And when I get them do I need to do anything with them to keep them stress free or just put them in the brooder. I'm...
I'm looking for a silkie hen doesn't matter what kind as long as they are healthy. I live in North Carolina a d I'm willing to travel a little bit to get them of need be. Thank you😊
She's got her feathers so we have it around 75 maybe 73. The others we think we're sick. We had a small one that was sick and we had no idea it was sick and died only a few hours after we got them. And I think it spread before we could do anything and we think whatever that little one had spread...

Thanks for this I've grown rather close with this rooster so I think we'll be eating separately for a while😂. For some reason my small head didn't think about separating him from my breeding flock thanks so much for this you've been a great help.
Actually this is a great time my silkie rooster has lice. This is his first time with lice and has had mites once before a couple months ago. If you don't see any but your still worried give them a warm dawn dish soap bath. Kills whatever bugs might be on them and completely safe for chickens...
I suggest getting a whole new coop for your silkies and to keep her alone for about a week(if she's ingured maybe 2). Silkies are known to be sweet birds and won't fight back against other birds that bully them. After that week or 2 you can do the show but don't touch method with the two new...
I rescued a silkie rooster last year and only now got to actually look at his feet. I know that silkies have 5 toes but my silkie seems to have some deformity on his feet. First of all one of his spurs are growing kind of awkward like if we let it grow anymore then it'd penetrate his leg(we cut...
