    Question(s)… we have 2 8wk old seramas that were vaccinated for Merricks when they were just born from the farm we purchased them from. We are now getting 2 more seramas to add to our flock who are not vaccinated and a few weeks older. (Maybe 3-6?) Anything we should be worried for/look out...

    My five month old hen died in two days

    My sweet hen was making soft whistling sounds every time she took a breath. She was fine when I first let the flock out yesterday morning, but then an hour or so later I noticed an odd sound. It didn't take long for her to start breathing with her beak open and gasping for air. Her breathing...
