    Little to no growth after pox

    I think I had fowl pox run through my flock a while back. Some had pustules on their combs and had slight drainage from nostrils and the worst one had bubbly eyes. The worst one has not grown at all since it’s run it’s course. She still gets along just fine. Acts like all my other chickens. But...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Brahma

    I just got 9 light Brahmas. They range in age from 1-5 weeks. I love that they have boots and that they are a large breed. Some of the Brahmas are mixed with a silver Wyandotte’s, giving them more grey feathers in the body rather than just black points at the tail and neck. I’m excited to have...

    Lockdown temps and humidity

    Thank you. These are not shipped eggs. They came from a flock that I lost to dogs a few weeks ago. How do I increase temp and decrease humidity ? What if it goes to high ( like 90%) how long can it safely stay that high?

    Respiratory infection

    Definitely good info to have on hand!! I took the sick ones back to the lady I got them from. I didn’t want to deal with treating sick birds since I’ve got 30 eggs incubating with 9 set to hatch early next week. I just was feeling overwhelmed at the thought of caring for newborns and sick ones...
