    Bald crop?

    My silkie’s crop is pretty big & bald. Is that normal? She’s acting fine, even though the pic might look otherwise 😂

    Chick walking on hocks

    Thank you. Is this what I need? She’ll be a week old tomorrow. Do you think it’s too late for her?

    Chick walking on hocks

    My chick is walking on its hocks. It’s like her feet (which are huge!) will not support her. Thoughts?

    Can a chicken be possessive of a human?

    Molting or Pecking?

    this is my first time raising chickens. I have a polish frizzle that I’ve noticed is losing feathers on the top of his head.

    Chick wants to be held constantly

    Long story short, I have ended up with an 8 week old Silkie. I have 13 3 month old chickens who are full grown. The silkie is tiny, too little to be set free with the others, so it stays in a crate in the run & coop with them. But y’all, this baby wants to be held any time I let it out. It is...
