    Crop bra in Australia?

    My 8 month old Silkie hen has a quite large crop (pictures attached). She eats, drinks, poops, and participates as normal in the coop with my other four Silkies (though note she hasn't laid an egg in about a month - not sure if that should be a concern?). She has been to an avian vet who...

    Medicated pullet feed vs. mature hens

    Thank you for this excellent information!! Super helpful, really appreciate your time in doing this. The little trio have been spending time outdoors since probably about 6 weeks, supervised scratching out on the lawn to start, then more time in the big coop as they were transitioned.

    Medicated pullet feed vs. mature hens

    Thank you! I was fine with everyone eating medicated feed until one of my hens got a sour crop, which I'm worried is from her eating the little ones medicated feed.

    Medicated pullet feed vs. mature hens

    Chicken sounds like a seagull - possible airway issue??

    She has been laying for about four weeks now, and I think I've worked out that she's probably broody - I stumbled across a video of another Silkie making the same noise, and that hen was broody! Thank you for you reply! ☺️

    Chicken sounds like a seagull - possible airway issue??

    One of my almost-six-month old Silkie hens recently started making a new noise that has me a bit concerned. Instead of the standard clucking, she makes a trill like a seagull. But not a happy, contented trill, definitely a distinctive seagull trill. Is this normal? Is it possible she's got an...
