    Corid question...

    Thank you! I have been giving the full dose just mixing it in a smaller quantity daily, 2.5ml per 4 cups. I haven't done a drench dose cause the baby is so small but today i did give corid water in a dropper a few times today to make sure it's drinking enough of it.

    Help to identify white patches on silkie face

    No she has the blueish earlobes. These white patches are in front like in her cheeks, between the earlobe and wattle. And on top of her head behind the comb

    Help to identify white patches on silkie face

    Could anyone tell me what these white patches are on my silkie hen's face? It's on each side of her face and on top of her head. She acts fine, I don't see any bugs, ant it's not crusty or even that lumped up but it definitely doesn't look normal.
