    Help! What do I feed my mixed flock??!

    So I have recently integrated my 12-13 week old pullets and one cockerel to my existing 6 2 year old laying hens. I’ve gotten mixed feedback on what to feed them.

    Help chicken is gurgling and opening mouth!

    So I used the Vet Rx for about 5 days, and I saw improvement rapidly. She was not gurgling and back to her normal self. I’m not sure what she had. But as of today I heard her gurgling again and opening her mouth once again. Almost like she’s gasping for air. She’s still eating and drinking...

    Help chicken is gurgling and opening mouth!

    Yes I was trying to google all day trying to figure out, I’ve come to realize it maybe one of 2 things, by the research either a respiratory infection or gapeworm seems to be a second option. The thing is with the VetRX she’s stopped the noise and the mouth opening but still is under the...

    Heat source

    Is a brooder plate enough to use on an outdoor brooder? Example, the temperatures are getting between 40-53 at the coldest. Will a brooder plate be enough for chicks to be outside?

    Outdoor Brooder

    Yeah I’m thinking about ditching the heat lamp on Friday, I ordered a bigger brooder plate that goes down to 70 degrees, so I can decrease the heat slowly every week. I think they should be relatively ok with both brooder plates
