    Hen keeps opening her mouth and shaking head!

    Hey sambi thanks for the advice. Is it possible that your bird has coccid? And if my girl had it how could I treat it?

    Hen keeps opening her mouth and shaking head!

    my 5 week old hen was doing the same thing along with breathing with her mouth open. she fought it for one week and passed away. The lady at the local farm store said it was prob a blocked nostril and I should flush it. I don't think it was because I cant imagine a blocked nostril being fatal...

    Costs Of Raising Backyard Chickens - How Much Is It To Raise Chickens?

    I am Cheap! I made my brooder out of free shipping crates I got from an industrial park. I made my own coop for about 200 bucks. It probably would have cost 500-1000 to buy. Go Cheapsters!!

    thanks for all the replys! chickens are out in their coop as of yesterday. most of them didn't venture up the chicken stairs from the run. is this normal? I checked on them at 3am. it was cold out and they where all huddled together. also I have my first sick bird... noticed about a week ago-...
