I bought a sick bird and she not only died but she took to other hens with her... the medicine I was sold worked wonders!!! but it was no fun trying to figure out why my girls were dying
My girls have a coop with a connected fenced in side yard, they go in and out as much as they want to, they are about 6 months old... they are not laying yet will they lay before winter? and why is lighting so important? (I'm new to this in case you couldnt tell)
