    Lethargic, loosing weight, and green runny poo

    Good news and bad news. I thought it could be Mareks but as far as I understand the report it is not. Bad news if it is what I understand it to be it, it could effect my hens that my rooster breed with. Here is what the report said "L a b o r a t o r y F i n d i n g s/ D i ag n o si s...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I used golf balls or those wooden eggs from the hobby store to encourage the chickens to know where to lay. It worked so well, she went broody and continues to even after I leave the nest empty. I didn't have to worry about broken or rotting eggs while they were in training. Also heard it...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    So wouldn't you know it, I placed eggs under my broody hen and it snows. She is nesting in a draft free area not insulated But I did pack some nice thick straw for her to nest in. It got down to mid to high 20's last night and probably won't hit above 40's today. Is there a point when I should...

    Lethargic, loosing weight, and green runny poo

    Not sure if anyone can help. I realized my rooster was covered in patasites pretty sure they were lice. I feel it caused him a lot of stress and may have caused clostridium perfringens. he has all the symptoms of C.P. I gave him antibiotics by water, also dewormer, have been feeding him mushy...

    Thank you so much! I am hoping for the best. I do have a question and it may be stupid but we have like I said a very small coop, it basically a roosting area ( with wide roosting bar) with 2 nests. Then the run area below. I don't keep water in the roost but they have access all day except when...

    First Colorado blizzard in forecast tonight...

    Winter forecast for our part of Colorado and I'm not sure when I need to put a heat lamp in the coop. I want them to get used to the cold so they will make it through the winter. We have plenty of ventilation on the upper portion of the coop so I'm not concerned about ventilation or draft. I...
