I think you should quarantine her in case she has something contagious. Maybe trim the feathers around her eyes and muff. Maybe she can't see anything. She sounds too sleepy to me. A lot if things cause lethargy in chickens. It could be from the mites too... I'm sure some other people will give...

LOOKS like a grey to me from what i can see...but the red in the chest would make it tortoise. Do you have a picture that shows the whole bird including tail and feet?

Personally I would. Have you helped before? I pick a little of the shell at a time with tweezers. If you see blood, stop. I hope the little chick survives.

I don't remember who posted this but i thought it was a good idea so i saved the pic. I believe they used fishing line.

:D Wow. Funny how they can roll around and get into trouble even before they hatch!

Looks like one egg rolled into the shell of one that hatched. I've had that happen before. I would try to remove it. It might be hard for the chick to get through 2 shells.

The blue with red and the grey with red both look like boys. None of your birds should develop wattles because they are all bearded birds. The bump on the comb could be an indicator but there are always some birds that break the rules ;) Generally the boys are the sweethearts that are friendly...

Hard to tell but pic 1 and 3 look like girls to me. Maybe the porcelain too. But that is just my guess. Silkies are very difficult to sex until they are older. If you get a picture of their faces, close up so we can see the comb, and a side shot of how they stand naturally, then some people can...

First 4 are grey or silver partridge. The one you think is a roo looks like a blue with autosomal red the next one looks like a grey with autosomal red and the last one looks porcelain to me. They are pretty little balls of fluff :)

Thank you. I'm not in need of it right now but i like to use homeopathic remedies when i can. Thanks for sharing :)

ChickNmamma I might have missed it but did you say the name of the poison oak homeopathic remedy?

Love the new rooster! Perty! :) Someone attempted to steal my chickens last year. Our dogs raised a ruckus and my husband caught them in the act. They were some teenagers. They ran off and left behind a suitcase on wheels. We opened it up and low and behold, my fearless rooster piled on top of...

Looks like a grey to me.

[ aquote name="Jharper" url="/t/297632/silkie-thread/36780#post_11520976"] But wouldn't that be the name sizzle then? There is a Sizzle thread. There is a description of what Sizzle is on the first page. It says: "Sizzles have all the characteristics of Silkie chickens, except the feathers are...

Sizzles are adorable too. Even if the last chick is a sizzle...keep it. So cute! Just my opinion ;)

I like the paint stripper illustration :)

My German Shepherd named Birdi has her own little chick, whether she likes it or not ;) This chick is so fascinated by Birdi. For the last 3 weeks or so she has been following her around and frequently walking up to inspect her. At first Birdi was a little freaked or by it. Now she ignores it...

When they go broody they will pull out their own chest feathers. She is probably fine if she is doing everything else normal :)

:( That is a long time.

Poor little thing. What happened?
