    Group of momma hens?

    Thanks alot, the advice is very helpful. My girls aren't too aggressive and are even sharing the boxes... They rotate and keep them all covered when one gets up to eat or drink.

    Help, Coccidia!

    Over the holiday and weekend, my silkie rooster became very ill and started having horrible diarrhea.
