Hey yall, just an update. I did corid that first day and took him to the vet yesterday. She didn’t find bacteria in his stool but she says the corid may have done some work already. She sent him home after being dewormed and having fluids, and sent me with tylan powder and another antibiotics...
No antibiotics on hand but I did put corid in their water this morning.
After manhandling him (only way I can see, he’s a roo lol) I calmed him down and looked and didn’t see mites? I should also add I’ve finally figured out and he’s losing feathers a bit too. I saw him shake off and some...
Hey all. I’ll preface this by saying one of my rooster’s flock mates, same age and from the same farm, just died last week of Marek’s and/or multiple organ lymphoma. Was told they were vaccinated when I got them but I was lied to.
This morning my rooster was puffed up and lethargic. Tail down...
It is so weird watching them grow in… cause they’ll get those weird pin looking feathers, and now the fluff is starting to grow over it. Seeing silkies feathering vs regulars is so odd for my first time! Lol
Here’s my runt (who has grown so much since these pics a few days ago!!) and in the background of one of the pics you can see the others. The other yellow ones have a liiiittle bit of the stripes like the one I originally posted about, but are moreso all yellow like the runt I have here.
They came from tractor supply so I’m assuming not bred in any pure form lol. I got 5 yellow ones and 3 that I think are going to be black/blue, leaning towards blue because they’re a light grey now.
Here’s another picture where you can see the head poof, and it does have feathered legs, black skin (I’ve seen their butts lol)… is it really not a silkie? :(
This baby here was sold to me, along with 8 other siblings, as a silkie. Its siblings definitely are all silkies, but I noticed this one has some really interesting colors coming in on the wings… any idea what I’ve got here?
Hey all. So I’ve got two lavender orpingtons that I’m pretty stumped on. I know one is definitely a hen, but here’s my dilemma.
The other one I was certain was a roo, because of the tiny tail and overall body posture. However they’re 7 and a half weeks old now and the combs are pretty much the...
Thanks! Silkie wouldn’t be surprising as the farm had them, but do you really think roo? I have another who is absolutely a boy and the comb is very orange/red, and they’re the same age!
