We had chickens show signs of Coryza this past winter. Most of the flock got infected. It also could've been MG but we never had it tested. We closed the flock and are about to kill them this month. We ate the eggs with no problems. Is it safe to eat the meat? Thank you for your input.

Hello, I don't know what to do. One of my chickens that showed signs of either coryza or MG this past winter disappeared and came today with tiny baby chicks. We closed the flock and are about to cull everyone in about a month. What do I do with the babies? If I take them away today, is it too...

Thank you for getting back to me. The chickens act sluggish, they are sneezing and have liquid coming out of their nostrils and I think beak a little. Some have one side of the face or eye swollen. Their breathing sounds like if they have liquid in their throat... like bubbles. The original one...

I just finally figured out what is going on in my coop. Most of the chickens got coryza from a new chicken that joined my flock. But it took me about 5 days to realize what's going on as this is my first disease in the coop. Is it ok to eat the eggs they laid in the last few days while having...

thank you. I think she was born during the night and the trip they were taking was too much for her.

This is the first time for us and the mama ducks to be hatching their own babies. Somehow two mama ducks got together and are raising three of the hatched babies. Today a fourth one showed up with them in the morning for a walk. However she was stumbling couldn't keep up and was falling all the...

They are Orpington and Araucana. I can take them out so they don't go to the same spot. I can keep them completely separate and just give them eggs to sit on... We have roosters so they could be successful...

Hello, I have 45 laying hens and 2 became broody few days ago. They keep sitting in the laying boxes and I am thinking I would actually love for them to raise some babies for us! What do I do? Should I separate them from the flock into their own space (I have a big dog cage I could use) or...

[@]Wyorp Rock[@] we have a big metal barn and we made winter home for the girls in two horse stalls. During the summer they were pasture raised in egg mobile. Now they have a door to the outside but don't go out because of the snow. They are not sure about it I guess. We feed them organic layer...

How much more should chickens be fed during super cold weather? We have -8 during the night and the days are also pretty cold. The girls are in the barn but it still gets cold in there. What is the winter feed rule? Double the usual? I feel like they are hungry and irritated towards the evening...

Thank you for your input. You might be right and I am hoping that when I come there in the morning I won't find more dead birds :-(

Hello, I found my main rooster Boss dead tonight. My birds are closed in the barn for the winter sharing 2 stalls that have chicken wire on top so they don't fly out and nothing gets in. I have 48 hens and had 3 roosters. Boss was the best rooster to the flock but a little mean to us. I liked...
