    New coop

    Not far from me! I’m close to Rumney! I do have a flooor in my coop. Vent is above roosting bars on the back side of the shed that is not shown. I will definitely look into maybe a second ventilation spot as well!

    Buff Orpington Watery Poops

When I went to check on her later that day, She was perfectly clean down there, I could hardly tell who had the issue. But for the future.. could you recommend any daily supplements or probiotics to give to...

    Buff Orpington Watery Poops
