I am going to transcribe this... and draw both Lizza and you yourself for the illustrations.. This should be a children's book and I'm just going to to work on it without consent or collaboration because.. someone should. I will acquire no profit from this endeavor, a ready to print booklet for children both sick in bed or in bright and alert in a sunday school classroom.
Mine is doing a similar thing. What does it mean? It's so little and not growing as fast as the others and it was peeping constantly. I separated it from the other chicks hoping it would make him better. I have never had baby chicks before
I love this story so much. I bet I watched it over 10 times. I swear this might be my favorite video on RU-vid because I just have a great love for chickens.
Beautiful Video and Silie's are very special little birds with a very big heart. Love their babies and protect them they will. Seen them back off much bigger birds when have their young. They will hatch out all sorts of eggs and raise them. Your video was a delight to watch, so well told the life of a Silkie she is lucky to have you as her friend. Yes, I too would be proud to be called a chicken amazing birds and do have a high intelligence level all unique personalities.
Mines on 20 percent protein and I've given rooster booster, electrolytes, probiotics, and nothings made it better. It's not this bad it's just very subtle but still noticeable.
I just tried googling about my lil Silkie Chick having a funny twitching movement with it's head. Wondering what's causing it or maybe it's a silkie thing.
If people knew what Chickens are capable of feeling and how brave they are then they would realize how caring they are. I honestly wish that humans would understand what a beautiful creature this world has and maybe they would stop battering, using and eating them. God Bless you!
Our white bantam silkie is called Spot because she had one large dark spot. She was a broody hen, but she seldom laid eggs. After several periods of 20 days plus sitting on an empty nest I put 2 eggs from a large hen under her. In a week I knew the eggs were fertile so the wait began. On the 22nd day both eggs hatched and Spot and another black silkie Lonesome became like 2 step moms raising these two chicks. They never left their side, showed them how to look for food, covered them when it was cold and protected them when the other chickens chased them. It was amusing to see Spot try to cover a chick that was as big as her. After 8 weeks Spot and Lonesome rejoined the flock and their two chicks Little Bit and Dot joined as well. So far all lived have lived great lives ever after.The end.
