She' starting to look bad again. Please help!

Anyone??

Not heat related. I'm in indiana, its been in the upper 60's lately. She has seen 90 degrees with no problem.

My daughter's chicken(the white one) has been acting sick the last few days. She seems to be doing a little better today (walking around and eating) but she is still not her normal self and she still has her wings drooping. No blood in poop. She is not egg bound. I'm not sure what is wrong. I...

My 2x3 welded wire is dipped in a black pvc coating, will that still have the same danger level or will the coating help neutralize that?

The welded wire is buried 6-"12" deep around the entire run depending on the slope of the yard. As far as chickens being pulled through the wire....they would all be in the coop at night and during the day I would think they would be smart enough to back away from the fence, or retreat to the...

I am building a new run that's attached to my old shed and turning it into a coop. That being said I hear all different kinds of things being used to keep chickens in and predators out. My major threats are stray dogs, opossum, raccoon, and maybe fox. Before I knew what I was doing we had 3...

I'm going to candle at day 10 and see if I can see anything further. If not I'll crack one to see if anything was going on.

That would upset me as I paid a good amount for these eggs that are supposedly fertile show sebright bantam eggs...

I plan on waiting as long as possible, I don' want to give up on them until I know for 100% sure they'e duds

First time incubating, and shipped eggs to boot. 7 eggs, this is day 6. I noticed air pockets and 3 eggs with dark spots. No obvious veins but I'm no expert. Did not see any blood veins. Anyone see anything or can tell me any additional info from pics? These are sebright bantam eggs. TIA...

Thanks, should I just leave them be and wait until day 7 to candle them and see what I can see then?

I attached pics of my incubator, how am I suppose put in and keep the eggs upright in my auto turning incubator? Looks as if you have to lay them on their sides.

As far as crates go, I have an unlimited amount. I have plenty of room to add them together as they get older and need more space. I guess as far as heat goes I am thinking wrong in trying to heat the whole crate instead of only giving them a small space to warm up when they need it. Chickens...

My main concern is i dont know hoe cold is too cold and what age they can start handling cooler temps.

Granted they are only 12 days old, but when I removed the heat lamp from the brooder inside my house which stays at 72 degrees, for just 5 minutes to take it into the garage, I came back inside and the chicks were huddled together like they were freezing. Should I just keep dialing the temp...

I have 4 chicks, crate is from my wife's work that they use to transport machines in, I just modified it a bit. Reason I only cut the one side of the top open and nothing else is because I am trying to trap as mich heat as I can inside the box since it will be MUCH cooler in the garage than...

Hey guys and gals. I have week and a half old chicks that I have in my homemade brooder in my house. As they get bigger I want to transfer them into a larger crate i modified that will be outside in my garage. Temps are below freezing here and will continue to be until around march/April...

The surface area would be the same, just deeper water. It does have a humidity setting which I believe it regulates on its own.
