Hi
I have three chicks that have been together since they were day olds.
It’s a mix of serama, silkie and an Orpington. They have gotten along really well and are bonded to each other aka freak out when one is gone and they always stay together. Lately our silkie fava has been beefing HARD with our serama and now occasionally our little Orpington. I thought our serama was a hen as she’s almost 3 months old and doesn’t look like a roo. I don’t know why she would be fighting so much with our silkie if she was a hen? I’ve never had this issue with chicks at this age. They are becoming quite agressive and bitting and latching onto each other. Sometimes our Orpington will join in and take over fighting the silkie for the serama. It’s a weird dynamic. I’ve mixed breeds before and never had this.

I guess a) should I get rid of the silkie causing problems?
B) is our serama actually a roo?

I always wanted a snuggle chicken. Out of all my babies that I’ve had which is almost 15 she is the sweetest little angel girl. God bless her heart as she runs in the opposite direction of the flock cause she can’t see anyone.

Hello! First time owner. I have two chickens that seem to have slightly lifted or “dried scales” it’s just a little bit so far.

My research has indicated it could possibly be mites? How to I nip this in the bud and treat it
