    Do chickens catch colds?

    Pretty much the same thing, just sneezing with no other symptoms.Most of them are better now, only a few still sneezing. I think they’ll be okay.

    Do chickens catch colds?

    Three days ago, my rooster started crowing like he had a sore throat. Then, the next day I noticed one of the hens making the sound of a cough or a sneeze.

    electric fencing

    I installed one thinking a small charger would be okay. I wish now that I would have paid a little more and got a better one.

    Hens setting on eggs

    Yes, I think that is what I’ll do. The only problem is that other hens will come lay in the nest when momma gets off to take a break. I think I have most of the original eggs marked, and I have been trying to pull out the spare ones.

    Hens setting on eggs

    I currently have three hens setting on eggs. My question is should I put the hens and chicks in the garage once they start hatching? And if so, should I also separate the hens from each other? Can the hens distinguish their own chicks?

    Interior design help!

    Here is my design on a roost in a 4x8 coop. It is basically a swing suspended on chains. Easy to adjust the height, or remove to clean coop. I have it set much higher now.

    Rooster Getting Aggressive

    My rooster is mean too. We have fun sparring together. When I feed the flock scratch grain he likes to eat out of my hand. He sure is good at taking care of the hens though.

    What’s wrong with my hen?

    I have had her and 14 others from chicks I purchased at Atwood’s in early March. All the rest are healthy, never added any new ones. She walks slow but normal. She has been flying up to perch the last three evenings on the perch I made her.

    What’s wrong with my hen?

    A guy I know told me one time one of his hens died unexpectedly. He cut her open, and found an egg inside of her sideways. I was thinking my hen may have the same problem.

    What’s wrong with my hen?

    As best as I could. There was a little dried poop on it, and I wiped it off.

    What’s wrong with my hen?

    I was thinking it could be a breeched egg maybe.
