Hello. My husband and I were talking about getting chickens for over 7 years and finally we got chickens recently.
I’ve always had dogs in my life and I know what to look for when they are little off or having some heath issue but chickens? That’s a whole new game to me. Raising dogs are far more easier than raising chickens in my opinion.
I got 16 chicks from hatchery over 7 weeks ago and all of them survived so far. I have 6 black Australorp (1 male), 5 barred rock and 5 golden comet. We weren’t planning to get 16 but hatchery gave us 3 extra. They are eating mixture of Modesto Milling starter and Scratch and Peck starter. I’m fermenting Scratch and Peck feed and giving them twice a week.
Some chicks are sneezing but they all eating/drinking and acting normal.
This morning I saw one of my barred rock pooping slightly watery and milky poop. Since I don’t know anything about chickens’ poop, I need your help. Is this normal?
