    8 week old chick with a bloody toe

    Bleeding has stopped now. I had her isolated and she is back in the coop now. Hopefully it doesn't start up again!

    8 week old chick with a bloody toe

    She's been out free ranging for about 10 minutes and it is still bleeding. What should I do? I don't want to close her up in the coop while bleeding.

    Need advice on roosting bar please

    We found a branch that would work perfect in our coop. I need advice, would the bark be too rough on their feet? I know most people use 2x 4's in their coops but I have also heard natural branches are better. What is your opinion. (Pic shows it slanted but we would obviously mount it level lol)

    Soffit vents or open with hardware cloth?

    This thread is a little old but was hoping to get some advice on the soffit vents. Would like to know how well they work. I'm a little worried about pockets of air forming above them not allowing good airflow out the vents.

    Need help on vents for my new coop

    Our walls are up and now I need to decide where to put the vents. I was thinking of putting them underneath the soffits which would definitely keep the rain out by not sure if that is sufficient. Would the air just pocket in the soffit with vents on the bottom? I wrote on a couple pics so...

    Free Range Chickens - Do you supplement?

    Just curious what the free-rangers out there supplement with. I usually buy the cheap scratch grains in the summer and the layer pellets in the winter. My thinking is they get more protein from the yard in the summer than the winter. I only have 2 chickens now but am brooding and adding to my...
