    Lethargic Rooster

    Hello everyone I was visiting my birds today to bring them their snacks and noticed my favorite boy, Bob, was acting a little unusual. He’s a 7 year old silkie. He’s acting a bit lethargic / fatigued but he IS eating and ate some food when I offered him some of the snacks and is drinking. Tail...

    I want to introduce my two ayam cemani roosters that are around a 2 months old and their sister, to the flock I know I should’ve done it sooner and the roos are almost the size of the smallest hen should I introduce the smallest hen first or the biggest. Would the roosters fight back against the...

    Eye Infection in Silkie Rooster

    This has been going on for a little under a week - I noticed his eye was irritated about 6 days ago but it’s progressively (and rather rapidly) gotten worse. Tonight it was swollen shut and I could barely get anything in. I have been trying to routinely flush it out with saline and putting...

    What's wrong with my rooster?

    My rooster has lost over 2/3 of its head feathers in the last 3 days. I don't know if that can happen with an illness or if it's more likely he's getting picked on. He's hanging out more with the ducks, which is what he did last time he was getting bullied, but I don't know. Last time (last...

    HELPP !! Rooster is sick

    For the past few days, our cockerel has had trouble breathing. After crowing, he takes a deep breath, and after walking a few steps, he takes another deep breath. You can hear a wheezing sound from his neck or mouth, and he has lost his appetite. Additionally, he has numerous wounds on his comb...

    Posting him/her again with a few weeks more development (8 weeks old). What do you think—hen or roo?

    He/she is definitely a bit of a loner from the other 5 but recently had some sort of leg deformity or growing pains (according to the vet) that caused trouble walking so that might be part of it. His/her comb is definitely more pink than the others but it was a hatchery mix up so I’m still...

    So confused on this bird!

    I got this bird as a replacement for one dying at a feed store. On the outside, there were two labels, Sapphire Splash or Easter Egger but the inside label had “Blue Bell” written in marker over the barrel. It was much bigger than my other chicks, but I wanted a variety flock so I picked this...

    4 Month Silkie Head Pecked almost raw - who done it?

    Our second little flock of 3 silkies (4-ish months) have shared a large yard with our original flock of 8 mostly standards (10 months: 7 girls 1 roo) The younger silkies spend days outside in pen area, deliberately not secure as I hoped they’d start adventuring out a bit. That also means the...
