    Automatic door

    I am trying to figure out how to attach an automatic door to my coop, but everything I find shows the door outside the coop. My coop has the door inside and you pull it open on the back of the coop by pulling the string down. There is no room on the front of the coop to install anything because...

    Suspicious wattle (15 weeks)

    She laid her first egg today so officially a pullet! She started developing wattles around 6 weeks, so I am pleasantly surprised she turned out to be a girl.

    Tiny bugs

    I did a lot of work in the chicken coop this morning and was handling my chickens. Came inside and felt like my skin was crawling. I keep finding these very tiny bugs. They don’t appear to be jumping or flying. Any idea what they are or what I do about them? Chickens seem fine, but I doubt I...

    Help me identify this tiny bug!

    I don't know what they are, but I think I've got them too. Took the young chicks out of the barn and put them in the run and when I came inside my skin was crawling. Pulled off 4 before I jumped in the shower.
