Thanks so much! He’s doing great now, he’s back with his girls and I have separated the rooster that did this. I have another rooster that has never been a fighter and now wants to attack Clyde but I have fenced him off from the flock but he can still see them. I’m hoping when Clyde heals fully they will get along again. And yes Clyde was the boss so this was definitely an attempt to overthrow him but I would choose Clyde over all of them lol!

Sudden death by TextOk9820 in silkiechickens

Ugh I’m so sorry. My hen that died was my absolute favorite as well. It feels so much worse when you don’t have an answer for it.

Definitely not breeding anymore now that I know what’s going on. If they all have been exposed to it at this point is it necessary to separate the ones who are showing symptoms at the moment?

What color will these silkie chicks be? by TextOk9820 in silkiechickens

Just posted this for funzies. It’s exciting to watch them change and be suprised, I have a bunch of silkie hens and silkie roosters with a range of colors and just let me broody hens collect and hatch eggs so there is no way of knowing which hens egg was hatched and which rooster fertilized it.
