I do deep litter, but we installed a sh** shelf, so it all falls there. I clean the poop every 2-3 days, right now. I only have ten chickens roosting now, but when my 10 new babies are of age and roosting, I plan on cleaning it daily. They don’t use the coop during the day, only to lay eggs, so...

Well, I've done my research with her symptoms, that's why I think it's botulism. Nothing else fits. She was found still on her perch after all the others had left ( I can't believe she was actually still on it) she can hardly walk, her neck is turned to the side (no it's not wry neck), she is...

I have come to the decision that she has botulism. It's the only diagnosis that fits. We were going to cull her this morning, but...

Thanks! I’m new to this chicken stuff, I was told it was a hen, but it will make a weird noise now and then, so thought maybe it was a roo. Thx!

Can anyone tell me if this is a hen? It is 12 weeks old, I think it is a hen, nice in a while it makes a weird noise.

Hi Steve, another cheesehead here! I am in the Eau Claire area, so still cold at night here. We got our chicks already, they are 3 weeks old now, and growing fast! 🐥
