We live very near the big Station fire, and it's been pretty smoky here the last few nights (the afternoon breezes clear it out for awhile, but it's pretty thick in the morning). I've been worried about our hens but there's really no way to bring them into the house, and so far they seem to be acting, eating and laying in a normal fashion. We're hoping the air quality will improve by the end of the week - is there any particular thing I should be doing to keep the girls from getting sick? I don't hear any sneezing or coughing so far, but I'm a natural worrier.
BTW, I paid a lot of attention to Pat's big ventilation page when we built our coop, which unfortunately means it's impossible to seal up in the event of bad air quality outside! Doh!
