Griffin Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 White Silkie baby isn't feeling well today. When I went in this morning she was hunched up whilst everyone else was pottering about. She's managed to eat and drink but wants her mum to keep her warm all the time. I've put Coxoid in the water and turned the heat lamp on. Fingers crossed she perks up and that "Ooops, word censored!"ody else falls ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Oh no! Perhaps she got caught in a draft? It has been a bitter wind lately. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 They're in the garage still so she should've been ok. No real change in her yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I hope she's OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 She was worse this morning so I've started her on antibiotics. Tonight she seems a little bit better. She's still weak but she's eating and drinking. She's a lot smaller than the other Silkies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 No change at all. I'm not feeling hopeful. Thankfully the others seem ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Little white Silkie died in the night Everyone else is fine so I think there was always something fundamentally wrong with the white one. It took forever to hatch, needed help, was very wobbly for a few days before then seeming to turn a corner. It never caught up with the others size wize though. A huge shame, and sad for Tiger too because it must've been upsetting for her to know one of her babies was ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm so sorry Griffin - Poor poor Tiger. I guess the little one hatched before it's time & never fully caught up. Poor little love. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think the chicks are nearly seven weeks old now. I know that one of the Silkies is a boy but I've no idea about the other two, they've got straight combs which makes it harder but they have pom pom tails which he hasn't got so maybe my lucks in? And theirs too! I've still no idea what chickwotisnotadutch is, other than painfully shy I've always thought the Poots were one of each, one has no colouring to it's face/head gear at all whereas the other one has had very pink wattles for weeks. Greyish blueish Silkie: Boy Silkie: The tother one who looks like Marge Simpson: Chickwotisnotadutch: Boy combage? Buff mottled Poot boy shouting?

craftyhunnypie Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oooo.. silkies - girl, boy, girl ( loving Marge), Dutchie girl, Poots both girls - one with a larger comb. Just a guess - smack my wrist if I'm wrong! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
