Hello,
I have had my chickens for over three years in a large coop with good ventilation and i always use a heat lamp close to the roost when it gets into colder temperatures.
But I have read some threads and articles saying that this is completely unnecessary.
My question is, now that my flock...
I am not sure:hmm
does she pant or have labored breathing?
panting or labored breathing could be a sign of dehydration, heat stress, or exhaustion.
I actually had one of my chickens do something like your describing a year ago on a very hot day. But she was fully developed so I do not know if...

Hello and :welcome
I like all the names you picked for your chicks.:clap
I hope you find the byc community to be as fun, helpful and just plain awesome as i have!
That is so cool!
2 of my first twelve birds were silver laced cochins.
I do not have any good name suggestions, but i'm sure you will find one.
I did not name my chicks for a couple weeks until their personality's emerged.
:D
Hello,
I always thought that hatcheries could not accurately determine the sex of day old bantam chicks and that's why they only came in straight run.
But while browsing the internet I found a hatchery that offers bantams in a choice of male, female, or straight run.
Are they the only hatchery...
Awesome,
you picked the right place to learn.
I hope you find the community as fun, helpful, and just plain awesome as I have.
:welcome and good luck with your flock!
