    Help figuring out what is killing my flock!

    Thanks everyone. I didn't get any info back from the vet. After doing some reading I think I missed my chance for getting her in. I'm not sure I'd be willing to do the cost anyways with shipping and the cost of the test. I do have some garden plants that are still alive from our early...

    Help figuring out what is killing my flock!

    I appreciate the responses everyone. I called a local specialty vet and I'm waiting to hear back. I went around my backyard looking for anything that could be toxic. The only area which I suppose could be (although somewhat hard to believe) is an area where I've washed cement off tools...

    Help figuring out what is killing my flock!

    Thanks for the reply. Probably not. I suppose I'm not willing to go to those lengths to figure it out. I'd like to do my best besides that to at least keep the others from getting it. I was reading about Fowl Cholera and I'm wondering if that is it. Our 4th just died about an hour ago...

    Help figuring out what is killing my flock!

    This is my first time with chickens so this is all very frustrating. I'm hoping to get some information to help me figure out what disease they have because I'm convinced they have something. I had 6 originally and likely in the next hour I've lost my 4th in the last 4 weeks. I had...

    Sick chicken help

    She ended up dying. Everything came on so fast...she was fine yesterday. It appeared to be something she ate. I massaged her crop and she ended up starting to throw up. I thought that was a good sign. After some time of doing that she started convulsing appearing to try to clear whatever it...

    Sick chicken help

    The right side of her chest is all buffy and is protruding quite a bit. I'll do research quick on it. She is now laying on her side and I don't think she'll last very long.

    Sick chicken help

    Thanks for the reply.... I have not added any new birds. I have 5 total and I am new at raising. I should have said about her age because that may be relevant. She is just at laying age, so pretty young. I'm not sure she is laying yet but all the others that are the same age as her started...

    Sick chicken help

    One of my hens started acting sick today and I’m not sure what it could be or how to help. My wife initially noticed her acting odd and thought she might have something stuck in her throat. She was making an odd almost sneezing or coughing sound and her mouth was watery with saliva. When I...

    Buff Orpington Gender

    Hi all...this is my first experience with chicks so please ignore my ignorance. I have 2 buff orpingtons and I suspect one is a cockerel (I purchased pullets). If it is 100% for sure that it is a cockerel I'll have to find it a new home as I can't have any roosters. The earlier the better...

    Newbie question about coop size

    Thanks again everyone. I'm going to do some planning on raised earth vs. raised wood floor over the next week. The new chicks are still doing well. I put them in a bigger broader and they are loving it.

    Newbie question about coop size

    Thank you everyone for your comments and advice. I'll start planning on building my own which is what I was leaning towards. The location I chose for it is already shaded by some large trees so I don't think I need to add any additional shade. But yes, lots of ventilation is needed. There...

    Newbie question about coop size

    Hello! My family and I live in Gilbert, AZ and are starting our first experience with chickens. I have 2 main questions for the group regarding the coup I currently have. First, some brackground...I was originally planning on having 4 in our yard, to start with a small flock and not planning...
