Scaly Leg Mites
I have a ten year old hen and her legs are similar, but I just put it down to her age. I have only had her for a year (none of my other hens have it) and in that time, her legs almost seem to have improved, so now I wonder if she did have scaly leg mites?

Preventing frozen chickens
We have about the same temperatures here in Kimberley, Ontario. I have two Cozy Coop radiant heaters on adjacent walls, which gives us plus 10-12° more in the coop. They are about one foot up off the floor and my elder chicken sits right next to it. Your hens should be fine with the ceramic...- FEATHERFIELD

Bantam Silkie Comb?
This post was very helpful, thank you, as I currently have two 4 week old chicks, a Silkie and a Frizzle. This is my first time with Silkies and I am also trying to sex mine. My little Frizzle I already suspect to be male. He has a little mohawk that could be the beginning of streamer...- FEATHERFIELD
