    I have 2 golden cuckoo marans roosters who, until the other day, have gotten along well. This younger cockeral (who was "supposed" to be a pullet) has decided he wants to be alpha and almost killed my other one. I have only 16 hens and a smaller chicken yard, so I have decided to sell this guy...

    Thanks to all of you that have helped in the past. Everyone is getting better from their respiratory problem and today is day seven on the Duramycin. I am also using the Oxine as a mist in the coop for them and also against any lingering virus bugs. Will continue to do so from now on, I guess...

    New coop, chickens are sick.

    Just built a 10 x10 barn type shed with a loft inside for my 15 hens and 2 roosters. They have been in it about a week. They were in a "hoop" coop. Chain link panels with hoops over them and a huge tarp covering them from top to bottom. I would roll up the tarp sides during the day and close it...

    Again, thank you all for your response to my rooster and hen respiratory problem. We are still getting torrential downpours every few days and I have now placed a tarp over the whole chicken yard. It is neon orange, lol, but I got it cheap on craigs list, so what can I say! This will hopefully...
