    Prolapse or just weird vent on Frizzle showgirl??

    Thank you for your reply! The vent sticks out rather than in (like all my other chicks) so its just a bit odd, but like you said she is eating, drinking, pooping totally fine! She is 8 weeks old this weekend and no pasty butt or any issues just her having an "outie" rather than innie lol I wont...

    Prolapse or just weird vent on Frizzle showgirl??

    I have searched far and wide for a vent that matches what I have on my showgirl... She is 8 weeks old from a local breeder and I have had her for a week. I am new to keeping chickens so I didn't think much of her vent when I got her as she didn't have pasty butt, redness, nothing... But I kept...

    Yeah I saw a few success stories! Just not much on houdans so I’m hoping it’s just a normal thing since they are ornamental! fingers crossed she gets to be a healthy hen!

    Houdan Chick Runt??

    They basically said to keep an eye on her and report back! They said sometimes chicks grow more in the 3rd week! I just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience with houdans (maybe this is normal?) but I am not worried about egg production, mainly that she can live a healthy...

    Houdan Chick Runt??

    Good afternoon! I have this sweet mottled houdan chick from mypetchicken.com and she is a great eater, drinker, ect. But she is SMALL… like even smaller than my polish and they are all the same age. She never had any issues, but the first week when I noticed she was smaller and needed more heat...

    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    Winter is around 30 degrees (snow barely ever sticks these days) and I think the lowest it gets is 18! So never below 0 here. Summer lately is 98 degrees at its hottest, but usually high 80s we had a heat wave last summer! I think for where I want to do my roost bars and poop shelf, I will need...

    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    The previous owner said she has seen raccoons but in 2 years she has had zero issues with predators! The yard is also fully fenced in for our dog, so its kinda double fenced lol. She buried the hardware cloth underneith around it (and the galvanized metal goes in the ground) and around it has...

    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    I love this! I feel like I don't see open concept coops enough on here, but yours is very similar to mine! Thankfully the coop in the summer is completely shaded!

    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    THIS MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! The coop will offer 11sqft a bird, and 9.6sqft a bird in the run (the coop is basically a run inside too with it being so open lol) which I am hoping is very spacious (it seems to be on the higher end of recommended sqft). I think I will have to add plywood...

    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    They buried the hardware cloth a foot down! And there are large rocks around it plus the metal, it does feel very solid and the run that is being made is also high quality and fully enclosed and will be buried! It seems like I can really work with what I have with only winterizing the coop...
