so the other night my sister went to close the coop door and found one of our Silkie Roos dead inside the coop. No signs of a predator on him or the coop. She mentioned that he had been laying under one of our covered areas more for the past couple days but nothing other than that Any...

So we’ve got a mixed flock, 2 Roos, 4 hens, and 4 pullets (about 17-18 weeks roughly) We recently integrated our pullets into the flock. The younger ladies have been on chick starter but since being in with everyone else, they’ve been eating the layer feed. 1. Is it safe for our younger...

Just wanted to confirm our suspicions, this little baby is a roo correct? Only about 4 weeks old, already seeing little waffles and red comb development

Was wondering if this is scaly leg mite or not? I noticed it about a couple weeks ago, but it doesn’t look like any others of my flock has it.

We got this girl when she was still little. We were told we was a Serama. Wanted to know if she was a pure Serama or maybe some sort of mix. She’s teeny tiny and lays the tiniest eggs.

First two pics are of one of our girls. She’s big and docile. I’m thinking splash Orpington? And then I’m wondering about the two in the front of the third pic. - the black and white one (Sussex?) (lays pinkish eggs) - the red one (to the right of the other one) (lays light green eggs...
