New Chicken owner , please help....
Welcome. Scottie, I use heat as well as many members here. I always keep my coop above 40 degrees. I use a safe radiant heat, so no fire danger.

Many people do during this time, and it is too bad because if you handle it correctly, they come out of it and are even better. When they go into it, they may try to come at you.

New to the chicken lifestyle

@allvka_ . What is the status for your hen and rooster. I have a hen I am treating for aspergillosis after getting a positive test from RAL. Her poop looks just like your hens and it is worrying me.

I will send you antibiotics in the mail on Monday. If she makes it until Wednesday, then you can start her on them. I am going to send you two different kinds. I will start talking with you on private messaging.- triciayoung
