Im pretty sure I have a hen with CRD. Ive read alot of posts on the symptoms and treatments, the only thing I havent seen is, Does the area (coop & run) hold the germs of this even if the birds are culled??? Is it safe to put new birds in the coop after the others are gone?
i wasnt planning on buying this one, i was going to build something like it with some minor changes. i just used the craigslist add so people would understand the concept of the size and shape i was looking at. anyone have any ideas for a coop that is 4x8 that is reasonable on the wallet?
I'm thinking of building a similar coop as the one in this link, I just have a few questions first, Where would you mount a roost? and how many standard hens would fit comfortably in a coop this size? Only thing different I'm going to do is close in the lower part and put a ramp for the hens...
Here are a few pics of my first brooder. It's 2x2x8 with a divider in the middle. One side stays warmer than the other so the babies can have a WIDE range of warmth and coolness.
Chicks are AWESOME! I guess most of them act the same. They dont seem to really "SLEEP" more like Power Naps if you ask me. Seems like they eat, poop, and play more than sleep. Guess that also means they're good and healthy!
