Cinnamon is about 11 months old. She’s not too new of a layer; she and her sisters have been giving us lovely turquoise eggs for a few months. We give the chickens fresh oyster shell whenever it gets low or pulverized. I will look into the calcium citrate and the options to help her feathers...
They are being fed mostly your average layer crumble, but we do give them treats. We give them things from the kitchen like leftover salad greens and things like that, but not a huge amount of them. Age of the flock is mixed, the oldest being Feather, who is seven years old and is a mama right...

So, my friends bantam Old English Game hen is super pale, nearly colorless on her face. All visible skin, especially around her eyes, is super pale and has a blueish tint. Is this normal? She eats and drinks fine, and is still enthusiastic about treats, and she's still being a cuddly little...
