    This cannot be normal 😢 green poop

    Conflicting info on layer pellets

    Thank you, it seems that flock raiser (purina) isn't available in the uk, just a variety of growers. I will have to check the protein of each brand and work out which is best.

    Fairy egg at 11 months?

    I have one silkie who lays mini eggs and her sister, who is smaller, produces much bigger eggs. I suppose one small egg is just a blip.

    Dry sharp skin on chicken - pictures included

    There is nothing we have changed in her diet & the only change we have made is adding wood chippings to the run, (4-5 weeks ago) could it have perhaps be sap? None of the other girls are affected She constantly grooms her chest now and I don't think that is helping. She eats and drinks fine...
