Coughs and Colds

Very often, when a chicken is moved to a new location it will develop a cough which is often followed with sneezing. Like us, they suffer from colds and chest problems and the stress of moving can make the susceptible to these

You should make sure that on a regular basis (especially after moving) you add some liquid vitamin supplements to their drinking water. Also your birds will need treatment in their water for Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bronchitis at least once a year – at best twice a year. The following supplier can provide you with this:

A quick note about your chicken’s water supply, you should be changing this very couple of days or every day if you can. They do not like freezing water so in winter, take them some at room temperature, they also cannot handle drinking hot water. Never put any old water with treatment into new water – always start from a fresh batch of water. Also your birds need a lot of water to make eggs, never let them run dry or you will have very unhappy chickens on your hands. The treatment costs about £17 for a double mix covering both ailments.
