    Month old chick with watery poo

    My month old sussex has had watery poo for a few weeks now. She is otherwise totally normal and seemingly healthy. She's eating, drinking, playing, flapping her wings. She's curious and adventurous - even a little hyper at times. I have them on organic starter feed. Giving them herbs from...

    Fowl Pox in North Denver CO

    Hi all, I think my rooster has Fowl Pox (I'll post a photo later). I saw it two mornings ago and today I think I see signs on two hens. I'm hoping its dry pox. Has anyone else in Denver had a problem with pox this year (or any time)? Should I call CSU to talk to one of their vets? Anyone...

    Should I move mama and new hatchlings?

    My black cochin (Ms. Penguin) went broody, so I decided to let her hatch some eggs (assorted eggs from most/all of the 6 hens that I have). I was going to move her and the eggs to the 'maternity ward' (puppy play pen with next box on the floor of the chicken run) tonight as I thought I had...

    Who else has Blue Andalusians in Denver CO (or similar climate)?

    I just got a Blue Andalusian chick that I hadn't planned on - I reserved a Brown Leghorn, but they didn't hatch, so I opted for the Blue Andalusian after some very brief research on my phone in the feed store. Now that I'm doing more research I see that they aren't especially cold hardy...

    How early can coccidiosis infect a chick?

    Do chicks get separation anxiety?

    I work from home and have the brooder in my office. I get up early and spend about two hours with the babies, sort of doing yoga - but I tend to stop whenever I hear a cry or some other cute-sounding chirp/noise, to interact with the chicks in some way. Then, I get to work for 8-10 hours just...

    Should I separate (weak/sick) baby chick from the rest?

    I just got my first batch (8) of baby chicks from the feed store on Saturday. One was looking listless, not eating or drinking much by Saturday evening and I wasn't shocked to find her passed in the morning. And yesterday (Sunday), another one started acting the same way - listless, isolating...

    Should I put windows across from the nesting boxes?

    I'm building a 4x8 coop with external (bumped out) next boxes on one of the long sides and clean out doors on the opposite long side. I'd like to put windows into the clean out doors for ventilation and aesthetics, but I'm wondering if too much light will shine in from the windows onto the...
