Saturday, when I was fianlly able to put her back out side, we noticed that about half of the flock has what looks like fowl pox (I also posted about this). Yesterday, I went out...

    Can you confirm Fowl Pox? UGH.

    Thank you. Its been kind of discouraging. I feel tlike I've been working my butt off and they just keep dying or getting sick. We did finally get our first eggs a week ago so that was encouraging!

    Can you confirm Fowl Pox? UGH.

    O MY LORD! it has literally been one thing after another with these chickens. We got chicks in March/April, now I'm pretty sure they have fowl pox. I feel like ever since we put them in their new run and coop in the beginning of May, we've had issues. Respitory illness, heat stroke, eye...

    While deworming the flock this morning we noticed one hen that had a runny nose. She's acting totally fine, breathing eating, driniking running around.
