    How many hens fit?

    Hi all. This is my coop. I was told it was previously used for some rabbits. I use it for my 3 hens. I've noticed people put many hens in a coop that looks to be too small for many hens but I was curious if there is a general rule? How many hens fit?

    What injury does my new adopted hen have?

    Thanks! I see where both in Portland! Nice to see a neighbor haha Also, could you tell me if the thing on the top of her foot is also a bumblefoot? The thing that looks like a tough spot or callus? And is the pad on the bottom of her foot the bumble? or is it the callus looking thing near her heel?

    What injury does my new adopted hen have?

    Okay!! I think ill do her bumble foot tomorrow. Once healed, ill do her mites. Thank you so much! Also, would you happen to know if I pack in some gauze into the hole where her bumblefoot would have been (once removed)? I know some human surgeries require it to drain fluid. I thought to ask in case
