Has anyone treated (painted, stained, etc.) the wooden floor of their chicken/duck coop? If so, what did you use and do you recommend it?

Libby survived the ordeal and then about a month ago she laid a lash egg so we gave her another round of anibiotics. She now seems back to her old self and started laying again but she's laying ugly eggs (see pictures). Does anyone know what could cause this? Is there anything we can do?

From what we've seen, they use multiple providers.

Thanks! More pictures as requested.

We bought this chick at Tractor Supply a few weeks ago. It was supposed to be a Buff Orpington but, obviously, is not. Anyone have any guesses?

Libby made it through the weekend. Although she's not eating or drinking as much as we would like, we're cautiously optimistic that she's going to make it. Thank you all again for your wisdom. Hopefully this thread can help other people too.

Good morning all, First I want to say thank you all for your suggestions. @Eggcessive - I did order the enrofloxacin so thank you for that link.

We do have some penicillin for chickens that we bought last year after one of our roosters was attacked. We were talking about giving it to her in the morning depending on what happens overnight.

Hi everyone. My husband and I started our chicken addiction about a year ago. Our yearling flock is made up of 5 hens (Buff Orpington named Lady, ISA Brown named Libby, Black Australorp named BlackBeard, and two Rhose Island Reds (Pippi and Anne). I've used BackYard Chickens as my research go to...

Thank you for your posts. A vet isn't an option. We checked to see if she was egg bound. We found shell fragments so the egg broke inside her. We cleared what we could find. We gave her a warm bath. She still seems to be trying to pass something though. No prolapse. I gave her a handful of...

Hi all, We think we've got a sick chicken on our hands. When I let my girls outside this afternoon, she went out but she moved more more slowly that usual. Not like she's hurt, more like she's lethargic. She didn't walk much in the time they were out. She didn't scratch or peck much. She also...
