    Pre-fab coop cleaning!

    Wow! That looks fantastic! I'm definitely going to start slowly gathering some free/cheap supplies! Lowe's is always my go-to for cull lumber. haha And I'll DEFINITELY keep that milk paint in mind! I had no idea they made something like that!

    Pre-fab coop cleaning!

    I've definitely tried adding on to the coop (that didn't work well lol) but I've also added weather stripping to the inside. I've tried to make do with what we have since I wasn't able to build my own custom coop (the perks of having a toddler lol)

    Pre-fab coop cleaning!

    For a while we only had 4 and that was great! We wanted to build a custom coop, but I didn't have the time/expertise to build one out, but that's what I'm going to do in the future!

    Pre-fab coop cleaning!

    That's a great idea!! Thank you for that! I've been considering pellets for quite a while but I wasn't sure how they would fare versus pine shavings. Next time I'm at Tractor supply I'm gonna get it!

    Marek's Questions

    Marek's Questions

    Also, we did not have her tested to confirm it was Marek's. I wasn't sure where to go with her and I didn't have any way to preserve her body for testing unfortunately!

    Marek's Questions

    Hey nuthatched! I have a lot of neighbors with chickens and they've had way more experience than me in the matter, and I talked with them explained the symptoms and that's how we deduced it was Marek's. I opened the coop in the morning and the hen was on her back on the coop floor and her legs...

    Marek's Questions

    Hello everyone! I'm a first time chicken keeper and unfortunately I lost one of my girls to Marek's disease. It was a very quick onset that started in the morning and I put her down by the evening. All of my chickens are vaccinated for Marek's (including that one). It's been about 2 weeks since...
