Thanks for the info! I wouldve never thought that by draining it, it might actually make it worse, and make it come back more then before. Gosh, this is hard. I am steering more towards making the hard decision to take the pain away and just put her down. It'll be my first chicken ever having to...

The odd thing is that when she did lay, they were perfectly shelled eggs. Sometimes they had weird wrinkling marks on one end & the shell was a white color where there others are cream but they were still shelled. They never gave any indication that she had trouble with her reproductive track...

My 1yr old silkie hen developed egg peritonitis & it's getting increasingly worse. With help from a friend we tried to drain the access fluid out with a needle & syringe as shown on youtube videos, and got some but quickly noticed the yolk like fluid is thick and is not suctioning well through a...

Thank you! I love it :)

Hey everyone! I havent been on here in a while but I finished my huge chick brooder setup and wanted to show you all. I'm pretty excited :)

She is so cute! I'd love to see the current pic of her. She looked alot lighter colored as a chick then mine did. Mine started out with alot of buff, but now at 5 weeks old she has mostly silver. She has similar coloring as yours in July but I think yours has alot more buff. And I think the...

Do you have pics of her now and as a chick? She was both very blue & buff as a chick. Looked very porcelain. I'm thinking that's probably what she is. This was her as a chick.

Thanks :) She's my first frizzled silkie. I am loving how fluffy she's getting at just 5 weeks old, and I just love her color. What a surprise :)

Aww look at how adorable this frizzle silkie is getting. She is 5 weeks old. Just love her! Her whole body is a silver, with some brown icing over the tips, and I am soo excited for the dark crest coming in! She's by far one of my favorite :) And i'm betting she's a girl. Woo hoo!

Ok. There is 2 four week olds, and 4 six weeks olds in together. I havent figured out how to make it draft free yet. It's staying about 72 under the light in there until someone opens the garage door and then it drops around 68. I can probably drape some wood or blanket over half the top of the...

I have a question. I have some 4 week old, and 6 week old silkies I am getting ready to move into the garage. They've been in my bathroom with the temp 75. But they need more space and it's time to move them to the garage or shed. My question though is, what temp should it be in their brooder? I...

I wanted to see what you all thought about one of my baby's bums. When she hatched she was covered in yolk but naval shut and she made it but her bum remained huge and spongy. I thought about possible infection, maybe from bacteria getting in but from what I've read, that usually kills them a...

Ok I found it. They look like all girls to me.

I can give you some guesses for fun but as you can see in my last post. They can really trick you! But you may want to label which bird is who instead of throwing them all in the same folder :)

Good luck! Sending you girly vibes! Lol :) have your splash babies always had a tendency to show their color late? All my splash babies have shown their color right away. I have a two week old now, already showing obvious blue splashes on it's wings and new pin feather. She looks fabulous (and...

What a cutie. Looks like it was some blue in the tail, how cute. cant see the comb very well but it looks raised, and with the streamers, i'd probably think boy. Mine didnt really have the streamers, it was just a boyish shape. But it doesent hurt to hold hold off till it crows :)

She was about 15 weeks old in october when I took those pics. Looked very boy-ish. I thought for SURE it was a roo. And now look at her at almost 6 moths old. Totally transformed lol.

I think I am done guessing gender on silkies lol So it turns out this beautiful paint is not what I thought it was. I thought for sure it was a rooster. It showed all the physical traits apart from the more obvious crowing/raised comb. I still felt soo sure it was because its body was shaped...

Just spreading a little Christmas Cheer to you all! lol. Thanksgiving babies are 2 weeks old today :)

Finally hatched my first batch of Thanksgiving babies!! 4 paints, and 1 buff. All healthy and beautiful! Thanks Suzierd! I just love them! :)
