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...

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...

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 this is a 5 day old silkie mix chick, they have some mixed genes although both parents look like pure silkies. Can someone tell me if this one has a vaulted skull or not? Will it have a good crest ?

I have a young black silkie mix about 7 months old, she laid her first egg two weeks ago (she seemed to be very down and in pain when she laid the first egg) it came out looking good. Her sister is laying eggs regularly every three days or so but the black one has not laid a single egg since...

Hello, this gray bird is a little over 2 months old and its very difficult to figure out the gender because he or she has big wattles but the tail feathers look more female and acts more female as well. Any input appreciated, its supposedly a silkie but obviously mixed. Unknown genetics other...

I have silkie mixes at 7-8 weeks old, they might have some sort of bacteria like MG but only one has shown symptoms so he was isolated and treated, now re-integrating into the flock (they all grew up together). Sometimes I've seen a few of them get dizzy after shaking their heads, slower...

I got 7 six week old chicks and 2 eight week old chicks (approx), one of the younger ones got sick more than two weeks ago and had to go in quarantine but now is recovered after antibiotic treatment. I've decided to put him back in the flock because whatever he had the others probably have it...

Hi I'm a first time chick owner, I got 9 silkie (probably mixed) chicks 3 weeks ago, two of them were 2 weeks old and 7 of them 1 week old. I'm in a small city in Mexico now, and the local resources are quite limited. I've been feeding them the only commercial chick starter (I believe it's...
