    Thick scaly, flaking skin (not legs)

    Hi Cherylbis, my chickens have the same thing! But on their faces and neck. Any luck finding out what it is or a treatment that works? I couldnt decide if fungal or mites.

    Flaking peeling skin on chicken belly

    Relocating chickens to a friend's while out of town?

    Hello. An interesting question. I wondered if you have considered the possibility of getting a couple of outdoors coop cameras so that you could check the video feed to see if your flock are safely in their coop at night, and have their water etc topped up etc while you are away?

    Advice Please - Chick with Twisted Leg (Not Splayed) and Very Underweight

    Hello, I am new to the forum and am seeking advice on an 8 day old Serama chick. I don't know if she is in too much pain or what to do. She was hatched with a leg twisted backwards. I tried using a brace made of vet tape for splayed leg, which is what I first thought it was, and while this...
