    Feel like giving up on chickens

    Some have gone due to worms, some to predators and some to high heat. We are aware of why they die, we have made sure to dose them up whenever something comes up that can be cured before it even happens, etc and we haven't lost any chickens for that reason. Its just been one thing after another...

    Sick Hen... Not sure whats happening! Arizona

    I'm honestly not quite sure what her breed is. I just went and checked on her (happening hourly or so) and shes lifting her head and dropping it hard, along with having trouble keeping one of her eyes open. Electrolytes all day, along with organic feed. Ive never seen anything like this. She...

    Its about 110F during the day, but all the chickens have shade, dust, and water at all times! The coops are clean, she doesn't have any mites, and there is no rattling of breath. Ill try to keep her indoors for the next few days, see if that works. I'm hoping that a little bit of AC and...
