    Premo poultry- mites

    My silkies are in a separate coop than my other hens, & their hair, feathers, even the feathers on their wings just are not looking right. Some of my other hens are missing patches on their backs but the hair on their heads doesn’t look right either. It looks like more than being picked on by...

    Premo poultry- mites

    Hello! I noticed some of my hens feathers and hair on their heads not looking right. It started with some of my silkies, and now I am noticing it on some of my other breeds of chickens.

    Cross breed question!

    Has anyone ever cross bred a laughing chicken (ayam ketawa) & a death layer chicken? We lost some chickens recently so we want to incubate more. & we’ve incubated plenty in the past but not cross breeds, so I was just curious if anyone has cross bred these breeds before? Thank you!

    Can an egg bound chicken poop?

    I believed that my laying silkie was egg bound. One day I went out & she was laying in the spot she lays her eggs & didn’t really seem to want to move & I thought maybe she was just in the process of laying. So I let her be. The following day, I go out & she is in the same spot & he vent seems...
