Maintaining the health of your flock requires vigilance, preventive care, and quick response to any signs of illness. Healthy chickens are active, alert, and productive.
Preventive Care
Regular health checks help identify issues early before they become serious problems. Observe your chickens daily for signs of normal behavior: active movement, bright eyes, clean feathers, and healthy appetite. Keep their living environment clean and provide access to fresh water and balanced nutrition.
Common Health Issues
Watch for signs of illness such as lethargy, loss of appetite, unusual droppings, or respiratory problems. Early detection and treatment are crucial. Maintain good biosecurity practices, quarantine new birds, and work with a veterinarian experienced in poultry health to address any concerns promptly.
