    Coryzea/ Sinus infection in eye

    it definitely could be especially since a vet hasn’t diagnosed her in person. I’m still at a loss of how to help since we’ve flushed it twice with saline :(

    Coryzea/ Sinus infection in eye

    My problem is I cant See any puss so I’m unsure if that’s why her eye is closing but I’m just assuming. She has no discharge or anything anymore either.She also doesn’t smell abnormal.

    Winterizing Coop for NY winter

    Winterizing Coop for NY winter

    Here is our run 6 months ago back when the gals had grass in it. Any advice on roofing material so it’s not too heavy? We don’t have a support beam in the middle so may need to add one. Thanks for all of the advice

    Hi everyone, new (ish) to chickens since April! :) I have a covered but open material roof on my run. There is currently only dirt on the bottom, and with a week of rain it has obviously turned into a mud pit. The temperatures are dropping into the mid 30s, and somebody had said that the mud...
