I will try to get a picture, I have another chicken now that's also sick, not sure if it's related. She's listless, hardly moving, and had lots of poop stuck to her butt. I've cleaned her up and she's sleeping in my lap. Really worried about these too

I picked up my silkie chicken and noticed that she had a lump on her leg. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it's raised and had a really thick black scab. I washed the area and the scab loosened and actually came off The area that's left in about the size of a golf ball, raised, and red. (And...

She's eating drinking and her poops look like normal chicken poops. Breathing seems fine and so does her belly. I gave the coop a really good cleaning just in case. Her comb is looking a lot better! So I'm hoping that it's just poor ventilation in the coop and I just need to add in some Windows.

My oldest chicken Omelette (3) seems to have something going on with her. Her comb is turning purplish and her face seems slightly swollen (I could be paranoid). she's also molting right now. I have 7 other chickens and they roam the back yard. Any advice would help.

Here is a comb picture (I used water to push back the crest a bit) the silkie has a lot of new pin feather around it's head. It's still probably too young to tell but I want to post some progression to see if that will shed some light on it's gender

. Here is an update on my silkie. 10 weeks old now.

Shoot! I can't have roosters :0

I bought one silkie chick along with two other chickens exactly 8 weeks ago. Since the silkies were straight run I'm trying to see if anyone can take an educated guess at her gender. She (?) was picked out through wing sexing (or at least my attempt at it) as well as choosing the smallest and...

silkie chick 8 weeks old

sorry for not replying, I was busy. Roosters are illegal where I live so I just might have to put them in a run :/

2 of my 4 chickens are constantly flying over our 4 foot high chain link fence and going into the neighbors yards as well as the alley behind our backyard. I do not want them to do so because I don't want angry neighbors and I want them to stay safe, but I don't know how to keep them in. I have...
