    Our shed Coop

    There is hardware cloth roof under the tarp so it should be okay for snow…. What recommendations do you have for adding ventilation? Thanks for your input.

    Our shed Coop

    We live in Michigan. On both sides of the top of the coop there are 3 slots for ventilation. We have 4 hens and 1 rooster but he’s separate from the hens at the moment. I’ll update my profile.

    Our shed Coop

    We upgraded our small coop to a converted resin shed coop. Our chickens had a bad run in with cocci and the smaller coop was impossible to clean. We lost our sweetest chicken Starla 😞. The new coop is a 7x7 resin shed. It has vents on the top of the roof. It’s getting colder now, but in the...

    Chicken puffed up not eating or drinking

    The vet is giving her an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. Our hens have been struggling with cocci so they think her immune system couldn’t fight off the secondary infection. The vet said they are seeing more strains of cocci that are resistant to corid so it’s really important to keep they...

    Chicken puffed up not eating or drinking

    I cleaned out the poop already, they were very small grass green colored stools. She is still walking. She ate two bites of hard boiled egg this morning. Her last egg was yesterday but she usually lays every day. She is about 7 months old. Luckily my husband was able to get out of work early...

    Eimeria

    So my chickens have been in corid off and I for thier entire lives. They are 5 months old. Their fecal float test came back positive for a large amount of eimeria. The vet recommended trying corid one more time and seeing if it cleared up. After giving them corid for a week and spot cleaning the...

    Chicken rant

    No one has been eating the eggs. It will take some time to set up but it’s 50 square feet so once we get it up and running they will have plenty of space. In the mean time I’m spot cleaning the coop once a day.

    Chicken rant

    There are 5 hens total our coop is small 12 square feet. We are looking into converting a shed into a coop before winter. We also have a rooster, but he is separate from the hens right now. Though he talks to them and can interact with them through the run fence, just can’t touch. The hens are...

    Chicken rant

    Thanks for your encouragement. Here are a few pics of my set up. I was cleaning the coop so that’s why the floor and the roosting bars are gone.

    Scaly keg mites?

    Does this look like the beginning of scaly leg mites or are my chickens feet dry? I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

    Chicken rant

    I just need to vent. Does anyone else feel like the chicken gods are against them. I got chickens for the first time in spring. I had to treat them for cocci multiple times. One turned out to be a rooster, we couldn’t rehome him so now we are keeping him. We got to older pullets to keep a good...
