    How do you handle dust?

    Thank you for this idea. I will have to look into it. I clean constantly in my chicken coop with daily 'scoop the poop' tasks and go through litter this way too. I have bare plywood floors, so moisture isn't their friend. Because of daily care, there isn't a lot to do for annual clean up. I...

    How do you handle dust?

    I have a large window in the smaller room, a connecting door between them, and an attic vent fan in the larger room to move the air between them.

    How do you handle dust?

    I'm certain that I'm not the only one with this problem. My coop is DUSTY. I'm wondering how others deal with this problem. I use soft wood shavings in my coop. I have two rooms in my coop and one of the rooms the bedding has turned to dirt. I used wood pellets in there for a while. Short of...

    Lethargic, pale comb and one eye not opening

    She finally passed about an hour ago. She did not poop at all until she trashed in the end. And the poop was thin but normal color. Thank you for your advice. I will save it for the future. Hopefully I won't need it for a long time to come.

    Lethargic, pale comb and one eye not opening

    I cannot get her to drink anything. I put crushed Tums in her water and a piece in front of her. She ate 2 bites of scrambled egg (one one time and another much later). I have given her 3 15 minutes soaks, last two with epson salt. She goes to sleep in the baths and i put my finger under her...

    Lethargic, pale comb and one eye not opening

    I found on of my chickens acting lethargic this morning. Second chicken in about a month. I was able to come up to her and pet her without her protesting or moving. She has a pale comb, unlike the last chicken I dealt with, and is keeping one eye closed. I have no idea what to do. I brought her...

    HELP URGENTLY NEEDED

    I didn't even think about a necropsy. My mother in law buried her for me.

    She just died. I tried to offer her food and water again. She threw her head back, her wings started fluttering wildly, she buried her head and breathed her last.

    My answers to the questions from the "Read First" post. 1)What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) She is a Barred Rock, a year and a half. I don’t know her weight but doesn’t feel thin or light. 2) What is the behavior, exactly...

    It is a poop. I had to look close too but it dribbled down the towel.

    Had to check out where her crop was (thanks Google). It feels full and firm.

    HELP URGENTLY NEEDED

    I've tried offering sugar water and she took one drink independently. I put her beak into it again and she took another. I gave her a scrambled egg and her favorite bugs. She won't touch them. Then she turned around to get away from the food and water. I checked under her wings for lice and saw...
