Crowing
Kia seems fine when I bring him inside and clean him up, but when he’s outside his beak gets gunked up and his feathers get all wet and he acts quite depressed. Could it be he’s just cold? From what I can tell I’m still consistently getting fertile eggs, he is a silkie and around 10 months old. The lowest it’s been is -13f but I keep at least half the coop at a good 35-45f, he does seem to be under the light a lot. Is he just cold or should I look more into this? He seemed completely fine once I dried him off inside, he was crowing and running around the house. Also if I was to put a fabric or something on the walls of the coop would that help keep it from icing over the doors and give them a way to wipe their beaks? I did notice that he was having trouble breathing through his nose and his beak was almost foaming, more like a white saliva. But it stopped once I was done drying him and got him water so I figured it must be stress. I’m just being cautious seeing as three of my hens have died in the last two months
