I think I am allergic to my silkies. I have had chickens for a long time. I've never had any allergic reactions to their dander before. I recently got some silkies and have been handling a few of them a lot due to their cross-beaks. I have also been having significant allergies and eczema lately and couldn't figure out why. Could I be allergic to just silkies? Is that a thing? I just filed one's beak and I am DEFINITELY allergic to it. I've always handled my chickens, so it's not that I am just handling these more. I have 10 silkies now :hmm
 
Any changes in bedding? Did you check for mites?
I have checked for mites. The only change I’ve made between the other chickens and these are switching to Kalmbach feed from Dumor.
