    Bald spot on Tilda

    Hello! My chicken has had a bald spot on her chest for about 2 months. It has been growing increasingly. Now she seems to be developing a bigger pimple-like thing. She behaves normally and her eggs seem not to be affected. The other three chickens show no signs of illness. They all behave normal...

    My first chickens are to arrive soon - now what?

    Thank you all! I‘ve just ordered my four standard-sized girls and they will be arriving on Tuesday. 💃 They are around 18 weeks old and will be sleeping in an Omlet Eglu MK2 which is attached directly to the outside of their run. There is a large cover over a third of the run for shade. After...

    My first chickens are to arrive soon - now what?

    Hi there, thanks for your quick response. The chickens are either 12 to 14 or 18 to 22 weeks old. I do not know yet, which ones they will give me. How will I feed them? Give them water? I purchased rather large water and feed containers and the coop is not that large and I’m worried they will...

    My first chickens are to arrive soon - now what?

    Hello there, Chickeneers! My very first chickens (4 girls) are to arrive shortly. I’m reading that upon arrival I should leave them in their coop for a couple of days so they get to “know“ their new home. Any thoughts on that from experienced chicken holders? How many days, for example? How...

    Omlet Eglu MK2 - Perches

    Wow! Just wow! This is exactly the information I was looking and hoping for. Thanks a bunch. Did your girls accept the litter box - egg boxes outside the coop immediately?

    Omlet Eglu MK2 - Perches

    Added my location. Thanks for the tip. Also, the coop has permanent ventilation. Removing the poop tray was meant only for extreme weather. Thanks again, I’m learning so much!

    Omlet Eglu MK2 - Perches

    Thank you for your great explanations. I’m kind of at a loss and need to rethink all of this… 😔 BTW: I live in Southern German. We have hardly any snow, but right now a major heatwave!

    Omlet Eglu MK2 - Perches

    @Tonya: In the US, its called the Large Coop. For ventilation: What if I removed the poop tray in hot weather? Then there should be much more ventilation..🤔 I do not have any sheds or outbuilding where I live. Thanks for your help!!!

    Omlet Eglu MK2 - Perches

    Hi there! I need help. I want to buy an EGLU MK2, but now the county veterinary office (in Germany where I live) surprisingly advised against it. I want to keep 4 regular-sized chickens in it. They claim that a) it does not have enough or the right kind of perches b) the coop heats up too...
