I've done a search on here for the same topic and couldn't find any real answer, so here is my question.
I'm new to chickens (1 1/2 weeks) and they are 3 months old (4 hens). When I pick them up to hold them they are really stinky. I keep them in a 4x4x4 coop and an 8x8x6' tall enclosed pen and I clean their coop out every few days and their run every few days. They stink really bad when I hold them. Is there something I need to be doing, do they have some sort of stink sickness
?
I did have them on duramycin-10 for 1 week because they all had bubbly/watery eyes and one had a cough, they are now all except one cleared up. They are now eating Starter/Grower feed (DuMor) and all 4 are Ameraucanas.
Thanks
