I have a polish hen who has lost some feathers around her eye only. There seems to be no discharge and she is opening it but her top feathers do seem droopy on that side only. I can't tell if anything is swollen but her eye lid seems to be okay. She's feeling well and still eating good. I did...

TSC strikes again! No clue what this chick is! Feather legged and a possible frizzle (keeping fingers crossed!). Any guess on what [hopefully] she may be and what color she'll turn out to be??

I got two new bantie chicks from TSC this morning. After I had purchased them I noticed one had a splay leg and splayed toe. I gave them good litter to stand on and the splay leg has worked itself out within a few hours. Big question is: Do I need to worry about trying to fix the splayed middle...
