    Sick Chickens have White Chalky wet poop and don't eat or drink and not active

    I don't know what it is but I have a few chickens die even though I try to treat them and keep them warm. I noticed a few days before that my best hen is less active and kinda puffed up. It was a cold morning that day so wasn't sure if she was cold or sick. She ate but a little less than she...

    Heat in the Hen House is around 103 deg F in the afternoon, would that affect hatching?

    Heat in the Hen House is around 103 deg F in the afternoon, would that affect hatching?

    Thanks for the advise. I always thought that keeping their environment wet and being hot will cause them to get sick like coccidiosis? I like the frozen two liter idea cause it will keep living area more dry.

    Heat in the Hen House is around 103 deg F in the afternoon, would that affect hatching?

    I live in Central California where it can get hot in the afternoon between 2pm and 6pm. The hen house is near shade in the afternoon but it still gets hot in the hen house around 100 - 104 deg F for a few hours. Would this start the incubation on the eggs in the nest box or kill developing...

    My hen started eating her eggs. What do I do?

    Thanks for all the advise. I will definitely try it. The only challenge would be getting the eggs before the hen eats them. For awhile the egg shell was pretty thin. I think that is where she got a taste of it and developed a habit. The only thing is she eats it as soon as she lays the egg...

    My hen started eating her eggs. What do I do?

    I have a serama hen about 1 year old and I just noticed that she has been eating her eggs. I didn't notice this behavior until owning her for 6 months. At first I thought was not getting a balanced diet, so I feed them a mixture of grains, layer crumbles, and Nutra Blend Gold to her. I also...

    My Cockerel won't eat and is not active. Goes to the corner and sleep. Day 2 like this. Help plea

    Wow your rooster has longevity! He seems well taken care of. Is he getting a lot of sun light to get more active. It might be possible if the chicken is overweight, he might be lazy and out of shape. Maybe you can give him greens such as Kale, Chard, and Spinach. Maybe your occasional meal...
