I just got six new babies, including one of Open Original Shared Link

I remember when I was a kid, my uncle said these were the dumbest birds he had ever had. So cute tho. Maybe the others will take care of her.

The silkie is the only one unsexed, so I may end up with a very fru-fru loking rooster.

so i thought the silkie looked cold. she's quite a bit smaller than the others. i picked her up and cupped her in my hands for a while until she was nice and snug. now i've got a tiny chick tucked against my tummy, and when i try to put her back in the cage she backs into my hand as i'm trying to take it out.

Aww, poor baby. We had to let one of our chicks cry it out for the night when they were about 4 days old because she would cry and chirp as loud as she could whenever she couldn't see a human. So they went into the laundry room for the night and everyone got earplugs. It took her a few hours to calm down but it forced her to bond with her flock and she's been a much happier bird since then. She still loves humans though and will ride on my shoulder if I let her... chicken poop is pretty gross though so she doesn't get to ride very often.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
