    Slightly dumb turkey questian.

    Hi guys! So super quick questian for you all. My turkey jake's snood appears to be getting a bit dry (it is super dry where I live). You know when your hands are just a tad bit dry and they look kinda course and white and flaky? That's about what he has. It probably wont even show up in a pic...

    Dry comb or favus?

    Hi all, I recently noticed that 4 out of my 5 buff Orpingtons have white on their combs. I’m a newbie.

    Do your silky showgirls have dry skin?

    I purchased this little sweetie a couple of weeks ago and I noticed her skin looks really dry. I put a little marula oil on her neck and her skin looks a bit better for now… Do you all moisturize your naked necks? Is this dryness normal?

    Chicken Stomping Feet and Obsessively Itching

    Hello all, One of our chickens is stomping her feet and then itching herself with her beak. She has been doing this for a few weeks, and I have inspected her thoroughly three times, and every time I don't see anything amiss other than some dry, flaky skin.

    Care for Quail that lost feathers

    So a week or so ago rats managed to get into our quail enclosure. Only 3 of them survived and one of them has lost a significant amount of feathers. Many flight feathers seem to be missing but there's been no bleeding. What I’m more worried about is her back. Her entire bottom up to where her...
