Does anyone know why there are silvery filiments in the roosting area of my chicken ark. They are very light and easily blown by the wind.

My 3 hens seem happy and are not missing feathers. Could it be a buy product of preening?? :?

Hmm... Photo needed. If you can take one that is,  See Here

Could they be cob webs  :?:

Nathan, i've seen a similar thing in pigeon lofts, i think its the poultry equivelent of dandruff, i think its called bloom, not sure whether thats 100% correct, as i've just dragged it from the cobwebs at the back of my mind  

[NATHAN]

Yes, i would say that it looks very much like dandruff. Do i need to worry about 'bloom' ??

[mercury]

Don't think theres any need to worry mate, that is, unless someone knows different

if ya wanna be house proud use a feather duster to clear it out
