Yep. It takes a lot of patience and calmness to hold bigger ones, and even then they aren’t like a typical bird to be held.

I notice that happens with my heavy bird Isbe. Its like she fears her balance isn’t good, and she might fall. She has been like this even as a chick, though.

Of course. Its definitely a time consuming process, but i am seeing some improvement. Im going to finish off the surgery in a bit, hopefully can get the plug completely out.

Yes, of course. I have not previously recorded the surgery, other then a few pictures here and there. I can post those later and i’ll document what i do today.

Yeah! My broodies are always so floppy when i take them off, you know? Like they just make no efforts to move.

I don’t pick them from above, i just tightly hold down their wings and lift them upwards when needed. The only time i do that is when i need to see the feet for bumble foot or something.

Rizo 100%. Mellow as ever to handle. Em, no. I held her by her wings (holding them down and lifting her up) to take a picture, and oh boy. She hated that. Screamed her lungs off at me and will not come near me. Emily holds grudges, i know that for a fact. She still is mad at Vanilla because he...

It went alright, didn’t get it all out so i’ll be trying again. I think Em has it to.

Going to try finishing picking at Rizos bumble foot soon.

How is everyone this morning? :frow

Mine shed a lot, but they will also molt. Silkies are just prone to loose a little more feathers, cause they are very fluffy.

Oh no! You definitely aren’t. Mine was covered like yours when i first had 3, its become less of a problem now. (Because i just have one) Sorry i gave that impression!

No. I had 3 bearded silkies at the time when it was really bad. I dunno, they just had a lot of fluff i guess. Its not as bad now because i just have 1, but still. (They all looked the same the next day)

Looks like the silkie feathers i get daily! :gig
