LOL! Nothing wrong with that. My chickens think they are dogs, so smelling like them wouldn't be that terrible.

Thank you. I hope we are done with illness. We haven't had a single sickness since we have had our chickens, until today. I hope it is the end of it.

mine do it when they have something they don't want on the outside of their beak. The wet feed sometimes gets stuck to their beaks and that is when I notice it the most. you can lay newspaper down but they will peck holes in it until they can get to the chips.

There wasn't anything on their beaks. They are scratching behind the ears a lot too. I don't see any signs of mites or lice though.

Ii feel so bad. The little guys don't like the heat lamps bright light. They are tired and crying. I think they want momma. I put a stuffed animal in there that they can get under, but they won't.
