Hi All!

Joining in from Minturn, CO in the Rocky Mountains We have an amazing chicken coop built by our neighbors. We started out with four beauties, but lost one today due to sickness. The others are looking ok so far! Looking forward to getting great feedback from you all through our journey!

Sorry for your loss. Do you know what sickness killed your bird?

Not quite sure, she was really lethargic for two days and when I checked on her today she wasn't moving much. She passed in my arms while I was trying to comfort her. She released mucus from her nostrils and mouth so I am thinking it was a flu/cold. We have had some big temperature swings over the last two weeks. The other three look ok, but I pulled the other Red (same breed) as she has some crud in her nostrils. Put her in chickie quarantine
