(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I started keeping Florida chickens about 6 years ago now.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have 5 chickens, soon to add two more.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have a Favaucana, Olive Egger, Black Copper...
I have a backyard coop with a run. The run is partially covered. In the summer in Florida it floods and parts of it are not draining. In previous years I've added sand, but the flooding washes the sand out and I'm back where I started.
If it's wet it stinks and attracts flies.
I'm curious...
Thank you. I'll check into vitamins. I'm not sure if she is laying. I have 6 hens from age 2.5 to 5. I get about 2 eggs a day currently. I have a feeling she hasn't been laying since she hasn't been feeling well, but I really can't be sure who is or isn't laying. I feed them countryside organics...
I have a RIR that is almost 5 years old. I noticed her comb was dull and she was slow to come out of the coop two mornings ago. Once out she didn't go and eat. Just stood there. She also had a poopy butt, with some green colored droppings. I started the flock on duramycin and put ivermectin...
