Oh ok great how old are your Roos?

The older ones have been eating just scratch grains seeds salads and bugs and other natural protein sources and they are very healthy but no way to know exact protein level overall, but I guess their kidneys will be fine up to 25 -30 percent ? I want my pet Roos to live 10 years 😇 they are not...

Ok great I think I’ll keep what I’m doing then. I like giving them natural foods in addition to feed and I read that more than 20 percent protein is reserved for meat and broiler birds. I just wanted to make sure that the chick starter grower feed has the same vitamins and minerals that they...

Hello we are in Mexico and limited resources on high quality pet chicken products. I’ve been feeding my roosters a European organic grain and seed mix for pigeons plus organic chick starter and layer feed. I looked into all flock crumbles but they contain super high protein at 20 percent. My...

Thank you so much but we are in Mexico and I’ll be asking around for the vaccine, harder to get it where I am… And today I just found out that a rooster that was in the same building (but separated from the fowl pox girls) got the wet pox. I guess it’s the same virus and it spread by mosquito...

Thank you that makes me feel way better it’s just that I read somewhere the virus is passed down from hen to chick through egg but maybe only in the dna not the egg contents? the girls with Fowlpox are quarantined in another house. How long to wait after the scabs fall until putting them back...

I currently have two hens in the isolation room for possible Fowlpox one is showing symptoms exactly like Fowlpox and the other one who is with her just has a huge bump on her beak now it’s a black scab ready to fall off. The one that has classic symptoms now only has one scab left to fall. The...

This one keeps changing Roo to Hen to Roo now I’m not sure anymore. It’s developing more comb and changing color compared to its sisters but i don’t see streamers yet. Please help!

They do the dust bath in regular soil, it’s hard to burn wood to get ashes here 🥹 are northern fowl mites visible to naked eye without having to put flash light and really really look closely? The mites these guys have really look like about the size of house dust mite they are super tiny and...

Hello, we have had consistant recurrence of microspic mites over the years, they look like dust specks and usually white or pink, for sure we've never seen any of them turn red, so we suppose they are not bloodsucking types. They are barely visible and they are seen crawling around the skin or...

Hello I found the post through googling this problem my silkie hen is having at the moment it’s exactly the same issue and the vet says we can only try a hormone therapy to stop her egg production for life she is only 1 year old and I would really like to find out if there are any other ways to...

All the answers I got in this post were right :) here is my gray rooster that was very cute as a cockerel -

Anyway I know they r mixed because what the breeder gave me as siblings grew up and have normal feathers, and one of the chicks born came out with white skin.

Arg super cute! I have one just like that

Nevermind it did have sky blue earlobes but half turned red
