So I am starting to wonder if it is mites or lice?? I took my Silkie down from the roost and she ate and drank. Then she proceeded alternate cleaning her feathers under her wings, rubbing her beak side to side on the ground and flapping her wings a few times. She also has slightly dirty feathers...

Thank you! My husband is the busy medical student. I'm the chicken mamma. Good info. I can run with that.

Ive only had chickens since January. I don't see anything, but Im not sure what Im looking for? Common problem areas, etc.

What should I look for? She has stopped laying too.

Suprisingly no. She has moved further and further away from the entrance so I can't grab her and put her near the food and water. She is very docile and even lets my toddler hold her typically. Today I let everyone out to free range and she came down and ate and drank. I've never seen anyone...

Yes, we put fake eggs in it and nice bedding. She lays on the floor of the coop directly below where she is currently roosting. I've never seen her actually lay an egg, but know it is hers.

I do have one just for her alone. She doesn't use it.

Is it possible that my 6 month old Silkie pullet is broody already? Or is she sick? She had laid about 8 eggs, now she stays on the roost all day. It has been about 5 days now. No eggs. She lays on the coop floor. She cannot get into the nesting boxes. She is my only Silkie.
