    Is my silkie a hen or a roo

    Hi, this is Hennefir, she was supposed to be a silkie pullet, but now I'm not so sure what she is. She gives off rooster vibes. I'm guessing she's around 19 weeks old She doesn't fight with my cockerell Sesame, and sounds like a pullet but her tail and feathers around her neck makes me...

    Dry skin on silkies face!

    Hi, today I was holding my silkie pullet and realised she had dry skin all over her face. It's not lice eggs, it's sort of flaky. It was covering one eye. I got a damp cotton pad and gently wiped her face. It cleared lots of the dry skin around and on her eye. Her eye is looking normal. It's not...
