    Chickens sick, also maybe getting chicks- help!

    Yes, I haven't been able to find much confirmation for the less ideal outdoor conditions, like cool damp weather, wet mulch and feces siting outdoors. I guess it's not something I have to worry about until my girls are gone, but as long as it's not a permanent contamination sort of thing, I...

    That was extremely helpful, thank you! *Sigh* looks like its pretty likely my problem there- thankfully the symptoms seem to be fairly mild (one has a little nose wetness but no one has eye problems or mobility issues, just a bit of sneezing and a slight wheeze), and now that it's getting...

    Chickens sick, also maybe getting chicks- help!

    Ok so problem is twofold- firstly, I have three hens, production browns of some kind, roughly a year old. Several weeks ago we had a particularly bad cold spell and they developed some mild sneezing type symptoms. One has a bit of a runny nose, she and the rest all sneeze a bit, and have a...
