    1 Month old Chicks Sneezing and Wheezing, What to do?

    Thanks again Dawg, that is sound advice. Like I said I want to breed these birds and I certainly don't want a disease in the mix.

    1 Month old Chicks Sneezing and Wheezing, What to do?

    Thanks again, I just saw some of the medication for sale say "for colds in chickens" I am fairly new to this and am still figuring out what to do particularly with what looks like some disease. The symptoms haven't been too bad, just the sneezing and a bit of wheezing around bedtime. On a...

    1 Month old Chicks Sneezing and Wheezing, What to do?

    Thanks guys, I haven't seen any more sneezing and wheezing yet, I will start with cleaning their area thoroughly and I think it would be wise to take one of those ones that I have separated to a vet just to find out what exactly they have. If it is CRD I don't want to be a part of that, I want...

    1 Month old Chicks Sneezing and Wheezing, What to do?

    Am I over-reacting about my Neighbor and his dog who ate my chick? (kinda a lengthy vent)

    He doesn't sound like a real winner, he obviously didn't care about your chicken being killed and apparently doesn't respect you enough to listen when you tell him to get his dog out of there. I doubt he even disciplined the dog.

    BOLD Raccoons

    I second the three SSS recommendation, we've had something mauling our little guys lately judging by the brutality (one wing ripped off) I'm thinking a raccoon.

    Chickens all gang up and attack one of my hens.

    Right, I think that's what started it, their yard was a tad small but I recently made it pretty big, plenty of room 6 birds to romp but it continues. Perhaps I could just go with the 2nd coop but I am planning on using that for raising my chicks until they can join the main flock. What's with...

    Chickens all gang up and attack one of my hens.

    I have a flock that all gangs up and attacks one of my hens, she has been in the flock for about 6 months and things were fine until about 3 months ago when this behaviour started. They seem to go for her feathers on the back of her upper neck and yank them out, I've pulled her out of the main...
