    Help!! Some kind ofmite problem!!!

    MOLTING CHICKEN??

    If she is molting, and you don't care about her being organic, baked ground up soybean usually makes the molt go faster. I feed baked beans as I call them to my chickens, and I haven't had a molt so far. (Although the oldest is a little over a year). I think it's worth a try, especially if you...

To me they seem to be unrelated. Today, she was showing signs of improvement. The lump if you will, was not nearly as...

    Coop maintenance

    I would suggest either adding more concrete with a slope and a drainage hole, or you could put plywood down on top of what you have. Be sure to use half inch, and have a good slope. Good luck, and feel free to ask questions if you have any.
