    New coop

    We built a new coop for our girls and 3 out of 4 will go in at night. The other still tries to get into the old coop. And we are keeping that one for the chicks we will get in the spring so we don’t want to remove it. Any tips on how to get this last stubborn girl to go to bed in the correct...

    New to chicken keeping. We just noticed this little lump on one of my girls feet. She is still walking normal and it doesn’t seem to bother her but we have never seen it on her before.
