    HELP. Chicken in distress!

    The holes look to far apart from each other to look good. I think you need to scrap that piece of cloth, get a piece make it wider so it supports her better and cut the holes closer together.

    finding eggs under the roost

    I'd think nothing of them laying under the roost, how old are you chickens? I've heard that having lighting will lead to calucim depelation as they take a break from laying in the winter and forcing them to lay especially if they are young birds. If i were you, when it gets dark around 5-6 9pm...

    Raspy barky cough like breathing???

    thank you, i will try everything. She sounds a whole lot better now the noise is gone when she breaths and doesn't cough. Yesterday, my moms friend gave us a bale of straw and she ate a piece and it got caught in her throat maybe. I'm still going to keep her seperated from the rest of the flock.

    Raspy barky cough like breathing???

    Ive decided to move seperate her from the rest of the flock. She doesnt have runny eyes or nostrills she just has a really rough breathing sound. It sounds like a little trumpet.

    Seven dead hens within 4 hours, not attacked. UPDATE: Teflon Poisoning!

    You're right. My aunt and uncle caught one in time just before their whole flock died. it killed 14 of their 26 chickens. The thing got in through the floor. My uncle went out and got the thing in a bucket and you can connect the dots....

    I woke up to the worst thing this morning...

    I've never been their. Know any native creatures there that have the behaviors of coons? If its not a raccoon, it might be a fox. I've heard of them popping their heads and using their paws a little to pry open a loose door.

    frostbitten caruncle?

    Don't do anything. Try to lock them inside of your coop. I have no experience with ducks but don't try to pick or trim off the dead tissue.

    I woke up to the worst thing this morning...

    Do you have racoons or possums in your area? Try to look around for their bodies or trails of blood. I know i sound cruel for you have to go look for your feathered friends. I have seen animals just kill them all drag them and leave them not far. If there is no blood trail sort of sounds like...

    Advice on shed coop

    How big is the shed? If it has a door just let the chickens out with that. I recommend that you just put the nesting boxes outside but mine are inside it might be easier for you to put them inside. Put in vents on the top on each side for ventilation. Put the roosts in s draft free area as...

    Huge clump of chicken poop stuck on her but with something frozen on stop

    Lazy is right, I gave mine a bath blew dried her and kept her in my garage with a heat lamp on her all day and she seemed fine it was around 10-0 out side but the heat lamp kept her warm. It all depends on your resources.

    Huge clump of chicken poop stuck on her but with something frozen on stop

    The browny color that you're seeing is most likely poop. Try to pick everthing off and if the vent closes then shes all good, but if the browny color looks like an egg it might be one. I'd just wait and see if shes prolapes.

    Huge clump of chicken poop stuck on her but with something frozen on stop

    I'd keep her in the garage for a day just to see how she is and reintroduce her in the night time they may forget who she is and attack her.

    Huge clump of chicken poop stuck on her but with something frozen on stop

    Put her in your garage, get a med size tote, get a five gallon bucket make sure its clean take it to your bath, fill it up as much as you can carry then fill the tote up about 4 inches in your garage, if you have any sort of dog crate keep her in there with straw or shavings. You could use...
