    Does greenish tinged coelom fluid mean infection?

    Hello! I am back and upgraded our coop!

    I totally agree with your informative feedback, which did not seem at all unkind to me. I had the same questions about the roosts being so low and the heat lamp danger before I read your feedback. It was very nice of you to take the time to try to help.
