I have a Silkie rooster, he’s about 2 years old, and I just noticed today that his comb has changed color. It’s always been a dark blue/purple color and today I noticed it’s almost a light grey color. I think I remember reading that combs are related to fertility so does that mean his fertility...

So I have a Polish frizzle hen, she’s about 1 1/2 years old. A few months ago, I’m not sure exactly how many, she started losing a lot of feathers. I thought maybe she was molting. But it’s been what feels like a long time and it doesn’t seem like it’s getting any better. Her feathers are very...
