I have a couple of silkies losing their crest feathers. Not sure if it's a sickness causing it or if other chickens might be plucking them out. Any help appreciated.
Has anyone ever given their chickens radish sprouts? I just got some from the store! They look like alfalfa sprouts. Do you think they're ok to give to my girls?
Ok I have Mottled Cochin pullet who is quite mean to me. When I go to clean the coop, put my hand down to pet a chicken or to place food on the ground she viciously pecks my hand. None of my other chickens do this! I've raised her from a 2 day old chick and she loves to sit on my lap! How do I...

Sorry! When writing, things don't come out how you intend. I did not mean to offend. Thanks for your response. Maybe instead of asking I will just search on other threads to see if I can find the answer. Again I apologize!
They are on a balanced diet! No they are not on layer feed as they are only 10 weeks old so they are on grower feed. And they are bantams so they eat crumbles! I only give treats in the morning and at night to get them in the coop. They are very healthy! I was asking about greens as they ate all...
