    What is this?

    Thank you for your reply. I had first thought it was some younger roosters picking his feathers, so I got rid of them & now he is the only roo & has been for about a month with no improvement. I spend a lot of time with them & have never seen the hens pecking him, but I have seen the spot on his...

    What is this?

    My rooster has had this sore on his comb (it is dark from Blu-Kote) for about 6 months. Started small & keeps getting bigger. And he’s lost feathers on his neck. He acts fine.

    Bald crop?

    My silkie’s crop is pretty big & bald. Is that normal? She’s acting fine, even though the pic might look otherwise 😂

    Chick walking on hocks

    Thank you. Is this what I need? She’ll be a week old tomorrow. Do you think it’s too late for her?

    Chick walking on hocks

    My chick is walking on its hocks. It’s like her feet (which are huge!) will not support her. Thoughts?

    Can a chicken be possessive of a human?

    Yes, I know she’s either blue or lavender. Her little ear holes are blue. Would that be a sign as to blue or lavender? nevermind, I just went to google & it says all silkies have blue ears. Learned something new!

    Can a chicken be possessive of a human?

    Thank you. Yes, the black one has definitely taken a liking to me 😂. I’ve never seen anything like it. And yes, it’s comb is basically non-existent, so very well good be a female.

    Can a chicken be possessive of a human?

    I have a very young, very spoiled (black) silkie that I have just turned out with the rest of the flock. He is usually pecked at (to be expected), but last night I witnessed him pecking at my other (gray) female silkie who was beside me. This (black) chicken LOVES me, has to constantly be on my...

    Molting or Pecking?

    this is my first time raising chickens. I have a polish frizzle that I’ve noticed is losing feathers on the top of his head. Every once in a while I will see another chicken peck at him, but not a lot. Is this the result of being pecked on or is he molting? He doesn’t look to be losing feathers...

    Chick wants to be held constantly

    Long story short, I have ended up with an 8 week old Silkie. I have 13 3 month old chickens who are full grown. The silkie is tiny, too little to be set free with the others, so it stays in a crate in the run & coop with them. But y’all, this baby wants to be held any time I let it out. It is...
