3 week old chick clearly not doing well. Nothing in her throat. Eating just a little, not drinking unless I put her break in water. I'm in California so resources are limited. I have LA 200, vet rx, nutridrench.
I have 6 chickens - my first flock! They are in a large playpen in my family room and getting rowdy and restless (and a little stinky). I'd like to put them outside in their coop overnight, but the temperature in there has been down to 39. Is that too cold? They've been spending several hours...
Hi all! I'm getting a coop ready for my girls. I have a plastic shed that's plenty big but I have some questions about setting it up. Here are some pictures:
I was planning to use the window as the entrance/exit for the hens. I'll add hardware cloth to the window frame and put it on a hinge...
Hi! I'm new here, and to chickens in general. I have 6 babies - 2 Buff Orpingtons - Peaches and Cream; 2 Easter Eggers - Cinnamon and Spice; 1 White (Buff?) Crested Polish - Dorothy; 1 Black (gray?) Silkie - Peepers. They are 5 weeks old and I am already smitten.
I love that these girls are...
