    Chicken losing weight

    Recently my chicken Nickel has been in the house for the past couple of weeks. I dewormed her thinking she had worms and that wasn’t the case so I read some more and found out she might have an impacted crop with a yeast infection. I treated the I infections with Nystatin and it went away but...

    What breed?

    Silkie rooster color!

    I hatched out 5 silkies with my momma hen and one grew up to be a rooster named rusty(see picture) I was wondering what color he is. I’m thinking blue cream/porcelain. I know it’s not a color leakage bc he is only 5 months old. (They don’t come in till 1 yr molt)
