Water belly

[MysteryChicken]

My hens are free rangers too

Mine are also, but not currently due to a certain dog mostly.

Thank you for that valuable advice. I really appreciate it

You’re welcome! I hope anything I did with my girl can be helpful for your flock. Please keep me updated.

So elevation and cold temperatures cause water belly?

I have a small breed in cold temps at 1400ft. I had no issues until I upped there feed from 20% to 22% for a period of 8 months. Since I have lowered the feed to 20% I am not seeing new cases. Now I keep 18% and 20% in stock at the same time.

No, go read my post again. Or wait till I get off work when I can spend the time I couldn't this AM. It will go better for you if you figure it out on your own.
