    I think my chicken has broken her leg. PLEASE HELP

    Thank you! I actually wound up taking her to the vet. She had totally fractured her tibia. She also had a respiratory infection. They put her on antibiotics and pain meds for 2 days and did surgery today. She did well. Hoping for a full recovery! She will be at the vet for a couple more days.

    Brooder question!!!

    Okay guys! So my mom found someone who used this as a brooder. We are both interested in it but we would like some feed back. Questions about the light, do you think the light hanging over this(with the mesh top off) will create a fire hazard? Anyone ever used this as a brooder? Thanks yall!!!
