they have sand in the penned area and they get to run around the yard often and play in the garden so we were told it wasn't necessary to give them grit every day
hhmmm I am now wondering if water is an issue here. My hubby and I were gone for a week and our daughter was caring for them, Im thinking its doubtful that the water was changed every day :-(
Wondering if it is because of the cold, do I need to put a heater in the hen house?
They are approx 14 wks old and the temps at night here on the island can get down to -5 C in winter
Thank you for that info on Cocci, I will look into that. How do I know for sure?
No wounds anywhere that we can see (still new and figuring it all out)
As for symptoms, they are all energetic and happy up until we find them dying or dead already. Their water is changed every second day.
Grit...
PLEASE HELP!
We got our first chicks July 1st (2 sussex) and over the summer added on three blue coachens, two silkies, one polish and two black rock(?) all around the same age.
They all are housed together and have a pen to run in. I believe we have one rooster for sure (blue coachen).
