    Weird crust around mouth and dandruff on a Cockerel Ayam and a black silkie?

    Are you saying to go into the coop at night and grab the silkie or Ayam...so i can inspect the white spots. If i understand correctly, these could be the eggs of bugs that are active at night. So during the day, i wouldn't see the bugs, just the eggs. but at night, i will see both?

    Dry Skin under armpits? Normal or something that I need to treat? HELP Please

    Hi all, I noticed that one of my chickens had some yellow dry flakes (about the size of raisons) underneath the both armpits. It looks like dandruff, but it was yellow. I gave him a warm bath and slowly removed most of it gently. However, then I decided to check the other chicks (all about 4-8...

    Polish Frizzle - Somethings up and I want to help

    Also, forgot to answer the question of the crop. I did an physical examination of the crop. It did not feel full or hardened. I compared the feeling to another chick and it was feeling the same.
