You could ship to us.
The USPS doesn't care, anywhere.
Wisconsin Ag Dept isn't checking as they're only occasionally checking commercial chicken growers. I got NPIP inspected, then the state Ag Dept actually called me asking what I did here. I explained I breed silkies, buy silkie eggs...
For us, it's vet wrap, but I presume Hinotori buys them on Amazon as I've seen those too. It's for splayed/spraddled legs that newly hatched chicks sometimes have. If you catch it right away, it takes less time to correct, usually 1-3 days.
So I checked on hers and she looks good!

OMG Yes! I assume orpingtons and silkies work the same? It sure looks like it does. Thank you SOOOO much!!!
I'm bookmarking that because otherwise, come spring I'll have forgotten lol.

Anyone doing Chocolate silkie rooster with black silkie hen sex-linking? I've been pondering it for a year and now have two chocolates I don't know sexes yet. (Four months old.) I had thought that was the only way to sex link any silkies, then today I saw Mauve and Blue here...
