    Well yes it won't protect the other ladies from disease, but I could use it to protect the injured (picked on, attacked by preditor,etc) from the rest.

    Chickens roosting outside.

    Hey all. In the last few months all of my chickens have taken to roosting in a nearby bush instead of inside the coop. Coop is clean, warm, dark.
