    Poop stuck to RIR vent

    Update on my little red hen. Her vent looks much better today. It’s actually closed up I suppose, you would say. Her vent isn’t pulsing like it was and it’s not red or irritated. I have a hen house , where three hens have been laying eggs. I have a broody hen sitting on eggs. I noticed a few...

    I found 20 ft cypress planks 2x4 . I’m going to quarter them and put them diagonally in the corners of my coops. I have 2 10x10 cages.

    Cedar for roosting boards

    Cedar for roosting boards

    Cedar for roosting boards

    I have these cedar boards. They have been cut and drying for about 3 weeks or more. I can’t even really smell them that strongly anymore. Would these be ok to use for roosting bars? The coop is well ventilated .

    Black Copper Maran or Cochin?

    Beautiful! I definitely ended up with the breeders undesirables. I don’t mind, my boys are big and pretty. That’s a handsome rooster!

    Black Copper Maran or Cochin?

    If I keep a rooster with the most red feathers will that help the babies to have more red feathers?
