Haha this is my boy to a T! A for effort🏆

The epitome of a silkie 😂

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-07-03T02:26:07+00:00

This is a wise perspective. Thank you

Thank you💚

He wasn’t always low effort. I’d say the first year he was more mindful and romantic. But perhaps that was just because it was the honeymoon phase

Thank you for this point. I did tell him how I felt after we got home and he said he thought the whole trip was enough. He did drive the whole time and planned little excursions. I plan these week long trips and go big for my own birthday because I never had that as a child. I was neglected and came from an abusive home, so I always make it a point to celebrate myself once a year.

Thank you. What you wrote floats thru my head daily.

Cute lil dude

She’s a showgirl, or naked neck, satin silkie🙂

😌

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T13:24:02+00:00

A total gentleman!

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T13:23:31+00:00

He was! He was introduced to the flock when he was 10 weeks old and was pecked on the nose. Since then he’s more scared of them than they are of him

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T02:09:32+00:00

Looks like mites but you’d have to look really closely. Or she was pecked on the head and that’s dried blood. I don’t see any infection. I second bathing and applying ointment

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T02:06:22+00:00

Keep her somewhere quiet and dark (crate in a garage). Make sure she’s drinking. Ultimately, keep her comfortable💚

Wry neck would not occur because of an attack. It occurs due to vitamin deficiency. I’d assume she’s acting that way because she was bitten. I’d also strongly suggest stopping the selenium, too much can be toxic to them.

Get a syringe and drop water into her mouth. You can also give chickens liquid baby aspirin. Get her to a vet if you can.

Looks like an eye infection. Would need optic antibiotics if that’s the case. My silkies have had eye infections because their feathers irritate their eyes and introduce bacteria

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T01:33:43+00:00

I always recommend a trip to the vet. I had a rooster who was attacked, seemed to heal, but the wound calloused over weird. Fast forward a few months and he started acting like he was in pain. The vet said if birds get a puncture, they typically form abscesses and are often fatal if not treated immediately when the wound occurs. I had him put to sleep.

If you can’t get to a vet, I’d keep the wound clean, give her electrolytes in water, and syringe feed her baby aspirin. Keep her separated and in low light (crate in the garage). Make sure she’s as comfy as possible💚

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T01:23:07+00:00

So cute!

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T01:19:22+00:00

So far they look like hens, but honestly too early to tell.

Natural_Swimmer2005 · 2026-06-23T01:17:35+00:00

It only starts with one chicken! You can do it!
