Having clean water available at all times is one of the best ways to keep our chickens healthy and productive. Chickens need water available to lay well, grow quickly, and perform all of life’s functions. Making sure water is available, even in winter, is essential to their health. Chickens can be a bit fussy about water. They don’t like water that’s too warm or flavored strongly. If they don’t drink freely, they don’t eat as much, and that starts affecting their production and health. Make sure chickens always have clean, fresh water.

Well‐fed chickens lay more eggs, grow faster, produce better meat, and have better immune systems to fight off disease. Chickens are like kids, though — we have to supervise their diets. Even if they have a large area of land to forage on, they need at least part of their diet to come from commercial feed so they get all the nutrients they need. Not only will they eat almost anything, whether it’s nutritious or not, but a chunk of land just doesn’t provide the nutrition that chickens need. Unlike domestic chickens, wild chickens that get all their nutrition from Mother Nature have plenty of space to roam and hunt to meet their needs.

Preventing problems is always better than trying to fix them. We’re often offered the opportunity to have them vaccinated for a small additional fee. Vaccines can be given at various life stages of chickens. Many vaccines suggest an optimum age, but if the chicken doesn’t get the vaccine then, it can sometimes be administered later. This situation depends on the disease we’re trying to prevent. Vaccines can be given by mouth, in the eyes, in the nose, or by injection, depending on the disease they’re meant to prevent. Some vaccines prevent disease in one dose others require several doses.

Parasites not only make birds uncomfortable, but they also can carry disease and lower a chicken’s immune system response to disease. Birds carrying a heavy load of internal or external parasites produce fewer eggs, grow more slowly, and eat more feed. Keeping your birds well fed and free of both stress and disease helps their bodies repel parasites and makes them better able to tolerate any they may still contract.

Besides pests, predators are a big concern for chicken‐keepers — after all, people aren’t the only ones who enjoy chicken for dinner. Predator protection works best if we can anticipate problems and protect the chickens with sturdy pens or restricted areas to roam.

Use roofs, wire, or netting on outside runs to avoid predation from hawks and owls.
Clear away overgrown areas and brush piles around chicken housing.
Place locks on coop doors if two‐legged predators are a problem.

Pests are creatures like wild birds, rats, mice, and flies that hang around poultry housing. Not only are they offensive to neighbors, but they can also be dangerous to our chickens. Rats; mice; and wild birds like starlings and sparrows, wild geese, and ducks can carry many diseases to our chickens. They also eat a lot of feed, which can become a huge money drain if we aren’t paying attention.

A chicken’s life cycle revolves around the amount of daylight or artificial light it receives. Chickens are prompted to lay eggs and mate when the days are long, and they molt when the days start getting shorter. Molting is the process by which a chicken replaces all its feathers, and it’s energy intensive. When chickens molt, they usually stop laying.

Chicken housing needs to protect our birds from both the elements and predators. It should keep them dry and out of drafts. Housing usually consists of indoor and outdoor space. Make sure each large‐size chicken has at least 3 square feet of indoor space and 3 to 5 square feet of outdoor space for optimum health.

Having the right housing is not only better for the chickens — it’s also better for us, so be sure to plan our chicken housing and get it set up before we buy the birds. Plan the size of the housing, how we’ll access it to care for the birds and collect eggs, how it will fit into our yard, and how we’ll light it.

Not all breeds of chicken perform equally well in our environment. First, decide what we want chickens for — laying eggs, providing meat, showing, or just enjoying. Then carefully study the breed characteristics and choose a breed that seems to fit our needs. If we do this, you’re less likely to give up on raising chickens, and our chickens will be healthier and happier, too. Be aware that people who like a certain breed are a little partial to it, but their experience with the breed may not translate into a good experience for us.
