I’ve been storing feed in a galvanized trash bin for awhile and they are good. I keep it inside the garage. I recently got more chickens, hence more feed. I usually keep the feed inside the bag but now that’s not possible because they don’t fit. Can I just dump the feed straight into the bin...

Went out to Home Depot and got a metal trash bin. Works perfect as we had problems with rats beforehand.

last update: I woke up to check in her and she was up and active. Completely back to her normal self, moody and loud. She’s eating and drinking fine. I let her run around a little outside and decided she should go back to her friends in the run. Thank you to everyone for your help!

Huge update: she’s really doing better. Moving her head around and eating like crazy. She’s definitely very exhausted however. I’m very thankful for this, for only a few hours ago she was cold and not moving. I’m going to turn the lights off soon and let her sleep. I’ll update everyone in the...

Ok update: chicken is in a small bin in the house all wrapped up like a little burrito in Towels. She’s under a heating lamp and appears to be better. She drank a little sugar water. Under the wings is warm and dry. Thank you all for the help. Will update you soon.

Still won’t eat should I try to force feed her?

She won’t eat. Her wings are dry. I have her wrapped up in some heated blankets

Not too cold maybe 60 degrees. She’s still in the same condition

My chicken fell in our pond. And when I found her she was soaking wet not moving. She is moving her eyes. Twitching and shivering. I’m blow drying her right now and holding her with a towel. Any thing else I can do?

I meant layer feed/crumbles. I didn’t know that about DE but it sure did help with the fly population. I think I’m going to wash her in a little tub tomorrow to loosen the crusted feathers and see if I can get the rest out. She’s been really cooperative today which really helped me out. Thank...

She is 9 months old, she’s been eating standard layer grain, grass, leaves whatever else they find in my yard, and sometimes table scraps. I’ve used Food Grade DE in their dust bath and coop in the past but not completely sure what you mean by wormer. The poop is definitely brown. I cleaned a...

my hens vent feathers have in dried poop on them. Not all her vent feathers are covered in it but it is pretty covered. She seems to be acting normal. Is a dirty vent normal? Thank you all

Hey all, I am having the house painted and I don’t want to have the paint fumes harm the chickens. The chicken coop is about 6-8 feet from the house. Will the fumes hurt the chickens? Should I move them elsewhere? Cover up the coop? If anyone could help me that would be fantastic.

I think it went away by its self because when I feel for he crop nothing is enlargered. And her rattle breathing has really gone down.

No that one got better I have led to belive this is sour crop. Or it could be all the birds getting so tiny from the ventatlation change. I feed them just standard grower feed from the store.

They have actually gone down a little now that the temptature has gone down. We have lots of spiders that have been eating them aswell.

Thank you for the info!

Ok thank you for the info

My hen has had some rattle breathing on and off for a week or so now. She is around 18 weeks old and today she was wheezing/rattly breathing a lot. And then when I was holding her she vomited. The vomit was a disgusting brownish color with feed bits in it. Can someone please tell me what’s wrong...

First of all I am very new to chickens so bear with me. I have four hens and there are flies every where in the chicken run. I’ve tried vanilla little trees, water fly traps, DE, and herbs. And I still see flys everywhere. Is this harmful? Or is something that I have to bear with.
