    Fires

    I live in washington state too. We do have smoke smell here. And I am worried about my chickens. As far as we know, the fires are not set by arsonists. There were false claims of this and false information but debunked. It may be a couple are, but the bulk is our severely dry weather and winds.

    19wk Chuckoo Maran not recovering!

    We have ordered vitamins and something for respiratory infection online. We couldn’t get a vet appointment any time soon. So we are hoping we are not too late once the supplement and medicine. But I fear she is slowly dying and I feel terrible about it. Thank you for asking.

    19wk Chuckoo Maran not recovering!

    Thank you again for your help. We have called around to many places and the soonest she can be seen is the end of the month. Her mouth seems clear of anything that looks odd. She was vaccinated for Mareks. She hasn’t had bubbles or watery eyes. She is getting weaker and her eyes are closing...

She will only eat a bite here and there and drink when we hold the container to her. She doesn’t act parched though. She...

    Jane had a hard time with the heat last week. She was panting and not eating much. We did all kinds of things to help her, many advice taken from on here that worked for all the other birds but not her. She seemed to hurt her legs while she was stumbling around a bit when she became dehydrated...

    Heat Wave in WA

    Sounds like you have a good brood. I have one RIR and she is doing okay despite the heat. We started with 19 in April and now have 8. We had 6 males and only kept one. One passed away the day it arrived. And 2 have passed on with a mysterious illness a couple months ago. We are learning a lot as...

    Thanks again. WOw, that is hot where you are. I am serious what breeds you have. The CM is a larger bird with plenty of feathers. The smaller birds with less feathers are doing better. Good to know that laying around panting is good : )
