    Diagnosing /treating a "mild" respiratory disease (unknown?)

    In terms of the birds possibly being carriers - is there anything I can do when adding to the flock in the future to protect new birds? A friend was wondering if I would "board" her 2 hens for the winter, as they don't have a good shelter (and we're up in the mountains) .. I've told her it...

    Diagnosing /treating a "mild" respiratory disease (unknown?)

    Thank you for a starting place! Ventilation shouldn't be a problem, the coop which is 4 x 9 and ~5 feet tall has a slanted roof and the top foot or so on the 3 sides is open air with metal woven wire, and they all choose to roost at the very top so it's essentially open air. I was sort of...

    Chickens in the snow?

    Mine just saw their first snow, about 3-4". They are NOT pleased! And I've got a bit of a problem, since their coop is basically dog kennel in size, used mainly for roosting at night and laying, the rest of the time they roam the backyard. Well, they took shelter from the evil white stuff on...
