    Help! Loose poops, dead chicken

    Taking down the one side covering seemed to really help things. I finished Corid treatment, gave a day of Poultry Cell, and am now doing a round of tylosin powder. There are some hens still with some loose poops and some head shaking. But all the ladies perked up significantly after increasing...

    Help! Loose poops, dead chicken

    I have 112 sqft run with a 36 sqft coop. I had 12 hens in there, now down to 10. There are 8x3 openings on 2 sides of the run and 6x4 on the front. I had tried to weatherproof these openings with marine grade vinyl this year, hoping to be able to reuse them in the coming years. I think this...

    Losing Whole Batch of Chicks

    I placed an online order through Chickensforbackyards.com. I have ordered from this company twice in the past and had a great experience. This time, terrible. I ordered 6 chicks, they sent the 6 and 2 extras. The order took 3 days to arrive at the post office. The order was picked up from the...

    Hello!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've been keeping chickens since 2020. I wanted them before the pandemic, but it really gave me the urgency to go out and do it. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have 12 out in the coop, but I'm about to get...
