    NEED HELP! Bedding suggestions for this type of coop

    Chicken poop question

    I wouldn’t worry but I am also pretty hands-off with my chickens. Have you ever wormed them?

    Black Widows in the Coop

    Yeah I found one the other day and it was very docile as spiders go. I put her in a jar no problem.
