Hey there! I've got 25 7 week older feather footed ladies in a large brooder in the garage. Most are fully feathered. My plan was to move them to their outdoor coop/pen this week, but our night temps will be down into the upper 20's. My plan was to keep them confined to the coop/small run for a...

Have a 20 week old Wyandotte who I noticed today is have wheezing on exhale. No other symptoms. Eating and drinking well. Held her and didn't note any gurgling/fluid in her lungs. She occasionally "squeaks" and shakes her head. I did notice it shortly after I let them out into our yard, which...

Hey gang! I'll get to the point. I have 15 feather legged females from McMurray in the brooder, 2 weeks of age. All are doing well. Anyway, I have 7 birds currently outside in the coop, all are right at 22 weeks old. 2 Cemani cockerels, and 5 hens of various breeds. So far the 7 outdoor birds...

Hey friends! Quick backstory. Over the summer, we lost 4 birds to unknown illnesses at various times. Two I believe were FTT, and two were an unknown illness, symptoms similar to Mareks, but not confirmed even after a necropsy. With that said, after the loses, we started fresh, AFTER the entire...

I know that's a loaded question, and everyone has individual answers, which is exactly what I'm looking for! Before we had more birds in the spring, I want to see your thoughts on our current setup, and if we have the room to add, or if we need to build some more space! -Coop: 8x6, 4ft tall...

Hey everyone! We started with three cemanis, and after one was FTT, we have two left that seem to be doing well. I'll post labeled photos of bird one and two..:.I'd love to hear your thoughts! We're new chicken owners, so we certainly value any input! We're not in a situation where we'd have to...
