My wellsummers cockerel who is about 2 1/2 months old has frozen feet. They have no heat lamp and I completely forgot that yesterday was going to freeze. Woke up this morning to find my American game hen the same age dead. Then as I was moving the remaining to inside I noticed that the...
My hens have mites but I've only seen it on a couple and want to stop it before it spreads. Any ways to get rid of them? I have diatomaceous earth and am going to the feed store today. Any suggestions???

I was wondering what y'all feed your chickens? And also if the way I feed them is correct and sufficient enough. I feed whole and cracked corn in the morning and in the evening and I have a continuous feeder in their coop that has layers pellets and I just put it yesterday. Is that enough for...
I was wondering because my chickens got over a respiratory infection a little while ago and I have some chicks that are eventually going to grow and I'm going to have to move them outside in maybe about 2-3 weeks. Is it possible for them to get sick because of my full grown chickens? And if they...
