Hi everyone, I've been without chickens for years but I'm back.
I always had a lot of chickens but now I have two inside under a heat lamp. Okay, so I bought a silkie chick and a Cochin bantam chick. Both straight run but I love the breeds. The silkie started crowing so I had to re-home him.

Ping is doing much better. I had tried everything could think of and asked a lady if she could suggest anything. She asked if I was willing to go crazy since nothing else worked. I said yes. I have been giving penicillin made for cows in pings thigh for weeks. 1cc at night. Ping is a huge Peking...

She has an aweful infection that I...

Oh my! I had no idea dog and cat food was bad. All my chickens eat it along with regular chicken food. I will no longer let them eat the dog and cat food. Thank you! I am so in love with my hens. I have never heard of scissor beak before, but I googled it and you are spot on. My poor "Mop Top"...
Noticed a couple weeks ago my pullet Polish has a misaligned beak. I can not imagine how she might be injured, inherited? She can drink & eat cat/dog food so she is fat and happy. She cant eat chicken food or maybe she doesn't like it. She is a normal beautiful Polish pullet hen otherwise.
Any...
