My chickens are 5 weeks and 6.5 weeks. We just finished building their coop last week and they have been living in it comfortably with a 40w light for warmth.
With the weather getting colder I noticed one of my 5 weeks sneezing and decided to bring them back in the house till they are more fully feathered. They are all on medicated feed with occasional probiotics/electrolytes in there water. I even gave each of them a small dose of meds for pneumonia from the feed store. They all seem really happy and healthy except my one is still sneezing I'm beginning to think there's something up her nose but I don't know what to do.
Anyway to my main question with the hurricane Irma After Effects coming our way it's about to get really rainy really windy fast trying to decide if I should bring my 4 six and a half week olds (almost fully feathered) inside during the storm? I had to take their light away cuz I didn't want there to be a power shortage with the rain and the extension cord. The Coop should hold up, it's held in with concrete and it's very waterproof. I'm just not sure if I should leave them or bring them in. Thoughts please. And if you have any thoughts for my Sneezy baby.
