Thanks for the advice. My eggs are not fertilized so I definitely need to break her. As far as my other breeds go I have leg horns and Rhode Island reds
No signs of any sickness. It stays in the mid 90's throughout the day and drops into the 80's at night. Haven't had any trouble from any of the other birds. Just want to make sure it's not some sort of sickness that could cause problems. She was fine yesterday.
It was 2 months old and in a separate part of the coop with one other chick the same age. I had them attached to the main coop but separated by a wire fence so the flock could get use to them. No brooder. It's hot this time of year. High 90s but they had plenty of shade and water
I went out to the coop this morning and one of my new chicks that I have separate from the flock was dead and laying on it's side. With a flat look to it. It had no signs of sickness. Any ideas what might have caused this?
I'm brand new to chicken life. I can close my coop off from the run. They've been in there for a month now. I would like to deep clean the coop. Any suggestions? Soap and water or can I spray it down with bleach and rinse it out?
