My sister called me this morning and said her 6 week old silkie was sneezing. Is there anything to do for that? Also, I am wondering for myself what I need to do for warmth for my chickens - or do they need it?
Help!!! have never seen so many ants in my coop. I have a hen on eggs. They don't seem to be in the nest box but everywhere else. I have sprayed with soapy water but they're right back.
I have a broody silkie right now. Since she is not laying, I am putting another silkie's eggs under her. I notice from time to time, she leaves the eggs long enough that they aren't very warm - maybe a little cool. How long can the eggs stay out from underneath the hen?
