Hello friends!
I have a coop with 3 Silkie hens, 1 Silkie roo, and 2 Japanese bantam hens .. all a little over one year old ... I have recently noticed they seem to have a new "scent" to them ever since our Silkie roo has reached sexual maturity and has started breeding with all five of the girls..
Has anyone else had a similar problem? The smell isn't BAD... it's just "different"... it almost smells like a sweet musky scent..I keep the coop extremely clean and all birds are healthy..
could my Silkie Roo just have a natural musk to him or something like that?! The smell doesn't bother me or any of the other chickens.. it's just really strange!
Thank you!
