    Naked chicken

    They are molting, for sure but I have never seen it that bad. There are no bugs irritating them as I can easily find out about that since the cock starts crowing early in the morning if there are any pests around. He is my absolute alarm in this matter. There is only one hen they are pecking on...

    Scaly Leg Mites - Need Best / Easiest / Quickest Solution - Scaley

    Chicken sneezing

    Hello guys, I have some of my chicken making a sound that is similar to a human sneezing. I caught my almost tame hand risen cock and checked his nose. It is clogged with mucus so what can I do to get rid of their cold. I never heard a chick gets a cold. Can you help?

    Good morning Rosemarie and Beekissed, this sounds plausible so I'll wash them on one day to brush off the old scales as they really seem to enjoy that and than for the rest of the month I'll just dipp them once a week. Let's see maybe this will help. As soon as the babies are a little bigger I...
