I just got a new silkie pair from Bobbi Porto. This little girl I have seems to have a problem. I was just taking a look at them and this girl has dry flakes, crusty and hard to get off stuff on her face. I will try to get pictures of it later today. Does anyone know how to treat it. By the way...
I am getting a white pair of silkies from Bobbi Porto shipped to me. Does anyone have any reviews if you purchased/heard from her?
And does any one have pictures of there silkies?
I have a silkie named Elsa. She was used on my top breeding line and now she is gone. I don't know what got her but I will put out a trap and then I will most likely kill it. I know it sounds brutal but I put so much work it gets me so ****** off. Well, Does anyone have top notch breeding hens...
I just did surgery on one of my chickens she had a bad case of bumble foot. She seems to be in pain. I bought some baby aspirin. does anyone know what are the doses for it. it is the orange flavored chewable kind, is that ok to give her?
Today is my 6th day for incubation all seems well when I looked at the humidity pot it was empty. I am using the brinsea mini adv incubator. Was this correct to fill the pot up again?
I will probably need more help along the way.
Thanks!

My hen just started squatting she is 17 weeks old now. I got 6 of them on April 5th. Anyone have an idea when she might start laying? She is a barred rock.

I walked into the coop today but only to see a dark black poo. Looks almost like from a animal! What could this be they have fresh food and water and were acting fine today and yesterday. Could it be from scratching around in the dirt eating worms yesterday but wouldn't that make there poo green...
