beautiful day today, DARN cold, DH and I both came down with head cold, Tues, or Wed. don't feel like doing anything
 
I have a question I think I know the answer to, but please lend me your knowledge anyways.

I am losing chickens, they start to limp and then a few days later they are dead when we go out to feed them, I have lost 4 this winter, varying ages and breeds.

The first one I ever lost to this was a year and a half ago and then the next one was this winter, these birds I have now I didn't even have a year and a half ago.

Do I need to just put them down the moment I find them limping, because as of right now, it really feels like they are passing something around, is there any way to save the rest of them, without taking them all to the vet, because honestly, I'm not going to do that, I can't spend that money on my chickens, they are sweet and lovely, but I won't do it.
 
Hello. Signed up to BYC today. Am very excited about the possibility of adding three chickens and a coop to my yard! Still studying the pro's and con's, the up's and down's of rearing some garden helpers. Been perusing this site for some time now and love the support and information shared in this community!

Welcome KitchenWitch :)
 
Tough day in the brooder.
Some chickie football followed by a yogurt snack seems to tire out the kids.

^Dozing off on the "roost".

It's the village limit. On the other side, is the township where you can have farms. But we are on village side

You get a post hole digger and some cement. I'll come help move the sign.

I have no suggestions, but I'm sorry to read this.
