Very helpful thank you

After noticing that are 12 girls only use two nesting boxes I decided to upgrade their boxes. I put in fewer boxes but made each box bigger and allowed myself easier access to the eggs. You will notice that the boxes sit at ground level I did this because the boxes that Got use the most with old...

Thank you

We have 12chickens in a coop and 6 ducks in a A frame duck house we have been in the 70s but a winter storm is on the way and we are expecting snow and temperatures in the teens should I be concerned about either group

So far everyone has stayed health

Everyone looks healthy but they are not laying. The weather right know is stressful right now 35-40 over night then in to the 70-80 in the day could that be what it changing their laying

They got lethargic then died in about 12hr the hen had a dirty but but was not stopped up. No respatory symptoms.

I had to chickens get sick and die Should I give the flock antibiotics gust in case? I can get Duramycin here locally. Any help would be appreciated this is my first time with sick chickens

They had no respiratory symptoms

So sad our hen died I checked on her then went to get meds from the vet and a cage to set her up in the barn. When I got back she had passed away I was so hopeful for her as she looked like she had improved from this morning. Thank you every one for your help

The rooster died I didn't think he would make it. The hen is improving a little with out any help should I still separate her?

Her bottom has poop on the feathers but the vent looks normal

What should I check bottom for

They are lethargic the rooster is almost non-responsive the hen is moving slow is only interested in water. Her bottom is dirty and she feels thin. When I picked her up she pooped clear thick stuff.

I have two chickens that got sick over night the rooster is in really bad shape the hen is moving slow. Any suggestions would be great
