    Hi everyone! :) I recently got more chickens and have already encountered something I've never seen before. My Silkie hen had a very large beard and recently it turned to dreadlock/calcified clumps. I examined her and found a few mites, so I bathed her and checked again. After not finding...

    I hope you like it! Let me know what you think! I just took Peanut into an elementary school and read the book to a ton of kids. In all, my chicken got petted by 250 kids and he was a saint the whole time :-)

    Got Exciting News!! Barnes and Boble wants to my children's chicken book!! :-D

    Last year, I decided to bite the bullet and write a children's book about my pet silkie chicken. It took about 6 months and quite and investment on my part. But it was sooo much fun and I love knowing that Peanut (my chicken) is now in a book :-) I expected to publish this on amazon and make a...

    I'm not sure what's going on with my silkie :-(

    Is Ivomectrian a de-wormer? Where do I get it?

    I'm not sure what's going on with my silkie :-(

    Okay so I treated him for mites (still can't find any on him) Heres the kicker though.. now he's going bald from broken features on his front in places that he cannot reach.. I should also mention that he is the only chicken so he isn't being attacked. I don't know what to do :(

    I've checked him over constantly for mites but maybe I'm just not seeing them. I'll treat him anyway and see what happens. It has definitely been a super hot summer. I've done by best to always keep cold water out for him and get him wet when need be.
