New and first time chicken momma here. What could be going on with Lulu here? Her skin is crusty and dry, her wattles and comb are pale and very dry (almost looks like craft glue that’s peeling off) and her face is white (like baby powder).
She has also not been growing new feathers at all, I...
What’s going on with my girls? All super active and clean, zero signs of mites. Full access to oyster shells and high quality, Kalmbach feed. Are they just molting?
