Chickens drink 1-‐2 cups of water a day. <br />Feed should be stored in rodent proof containers in a cool dry area inaccessible to animals. Stored <br />feedbags should be rotated to ensure that feed is always fresh. Food that is uneaten or spilled should be <br />removed from animal enclosures daily. <br /> <br />SOCIAL NEEDS Temperament and social structures of animals should be taken into account, and <br />separate areas provided for incompatible birds. <br /> <br />VET CARE <br />Locate a veterinary clinic nearby that will see chickens before one is needed. preferably one that <br />specializes in avian care. Chickens are welcome in increasing numbers of city clinics. Check vet <br />backgrounds at http://www.vetmed.state.mn.us/Default.aspx?tabid=803 <br />Have an isolation area or roomy carrier and heating pad for sick or injured birds. Critical/emergency first <br />aid supplies should be kept including roll gauze, gauze pads, tape, vet wrap, blood stop powder, <br />antibiotic ointment, antibacterial scrub and solution, and bandage scissors. <br /> <br />SANITATION-‐ Manure and wet bedding should be removed from coop and animal feeding and lounging <br />areas daily. Thorough, complete cleaning of walls and perches, removal of all bedding, and disinfecting <br />of coop and furnishings should be done at least once a year. Keeping shelter areas clean and dry will <br />help prevent bacteria, fungi, insects, rodents, etc. Rodent levels will be minimized by keeping all feed in <br />rodent proof containers and removing spilled or uneaten food promptly. Litter can be double bagged <br />and disposed of as solid waste or composted but must be done in an area where chickens will not <br />scratch for at least a year. <br />Housing animals in spacious, clean and relatively dust free environments will keep them healthy and will <br />minimize human exposure to infectious disease. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sources: <br />Poultry Your Way: A Guide to Management Alternatives for the Upper Midwest, Minnesota Department of <br />Agriculture, 2005 <br />Standards of Care for Chickens, Adapted from Standards of Care for Farmed Animals , The Association Of <br />Sanctuaries (TAOS).
