    Abandon coop!!

    No evidence of any parasites, but I'll look again. Mosquitoes yes, but they are gonna get to them no matter where they are, I am in florida, and we pretty much have mosquitoes year round.

    Abandon coop!!

    OK. So I've had four chickens for about 8-9 months now and everything has been going fine. Lately they are not returning to the coop at night, and instead are sleeping and pooping in places I don't want them to (like the deck, my work bench, etc). They do return to lay their eggs, but don't...
