Will this be ok until the powder arrives? Should I give this to all 18 chickens the 12 adult & 6 chicks. or just the 2 chicks that...

    Blood in stool treated with corid but Still sick. Sour crop? Someone please help

    my new batch of chicks are about 13weeks old. Last week 1 hen out of 6 had some blood in the stool. Everyone was treated with corid promptly 2tsp per gallon of water for 5days. Two days after the end of their corid round (this Sunday), 2 other chicks had blood in the stool. The original one is...

    Pecking wound on waddle might be infected. Need help with next steps

    A friend of mine could no longer keep her two hens after her foster dog killed the rest of her flock. I took them in and kept them separated for a while in the garage and now have moved them to the big coop. They have their own run and sleeping area. They can see the OG flock through hardware...

    Please help: Copper Maran with broken foot feather/bloody growth.

    I noticed blood on my 12week old roosters foot feathers when I got home from work. I have never seen anything like this before. I sprayed it with vetericyn plus and wrapped it up. Is there anything more I should do? The brown stuff around the red growth is kind of scabby, i couldn’t tell if it...

    Coming along nicely! Loving this little ramp into the run.

    Gave it a paint. I think I’m going to keep it the way it is for now. We started the run for the ICU chickens. They have their own door and run area. There will be a connecting door to the other run so when I don’t have an Ill chicken or anyone who needs to be separated it will all be wide...

    What do you think of this ramp? I had one of my hens try it out and she had no issues using the stairs. My dad built this while I was at work and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I think the ladder part should move closer to the window and cut those bars in the middle of the floor back. I think...

    I got home from work yesterday and my dad had already started on the coop! He got the hardware cloth up and put a seal on my front doors (not pictured) so no drafts will come through. We made the cuts and got the pulley doors in. We have ropes attached to each door and can be pulled from...

    Haven’t done too much work on the coop this month so far, as my dad was away in Ohio. But we did get to make these doors. They can be completely taken out so it’ll be more floor space when there isn’t a chicken who needs to be separated. We also put up a shelf in the storage area. Can’t wait...

    Painting= mostly complete ✅ Hoping to move them in by September! Still feels like there is a lot to do but it’s coming along slowly but surely! :) we put the exterior color “feather quill” on the floor and roost bars.

    Sorry it took so long to reply to this. I had to bribe a couple of my girls to test it out! 😂 these are my models, Dolly and Jinx. Woof. I probably should’ve made this a little bigger. Probably going to have a poopy window 🫠 This is the measurement from bottom roost bar to edge of poop deck.

    I have the areas where the ceiling meets the walls open on both sides. I will definitely be looking into adding more at the gable ends. That’s a good idea thank you!

    ~UPDATE~ This has taken a little longer than expected but we usually only work on this after work a few days a week and one weekend day. We ripped off the old roof shingles and the edge boards and replaced those. We cut out a ridge vent at the top. Here is the new roof with ridge vent...

    Would love ideas/thoughts on my in progress shed coop!

    I recently was lucky enough to get a 8x12 shed for just the cost to have it moved to my house. My dad and I have been in the process of turning half of it into a coop and the other half for storage. Before photos: I live on the side of a mountain and the pink arrow is the direction that the...
