    Sick hen...vomiting, diarrhea - please help

    Playground sand isn’t sufficiently course enough to work as grit for chickens. I would offer grit. Decomposed granite works great for grit as it offers a large variety of sizes. It makes a great substrate for use in the run.

    Yeah my Miss Eggysness also tried to sleep the chicks in the nest for too long. So I had to close it off so they didn’t learn to sleep in the nests as adults and keep spoiling them up.

    Our Blue boy is so mild. Even now with the girls approaching 18 week they still love to sit and stand on top of him.

    Review by 'CA2PTChickenChick' in article 'Diy hobbit house chicken coop'

    Lovely post. Very cute idea. Would love to know if having the living roof has lead to a decreased internal temp.

    If you can’t push the prolapse back in, it will continue to strangulate and she will eventually become septic. It doesn’t look beyond repair with surgery but I’m not sure if that is an option for you or if you have a poultry vet in your area able to do the surgery. Also I do not know if her...
