    Chick not eating, drinking, or moving around much.

    What is the most humane way to do that? I'm not very good at k!lling stuff, but I can tell my buff Orrington baby isn't going to make it, she stayed smaller than the others and now is laying down, can't hold head up correctly, and is refusing all food and drink no matter what it is. Can't get...

    Unknown vent area related internal injury (pictures are unpleasant/graphic)

    Silkies are generally quieter, but they have a very "lazy" Crow that some people find extra annoying. It's like they need to Crow but can't be bothered to Actually do it right, the chicken version of "good morni... yeah whatever I'm just going to go peck at that now" 😆 but it's still just about...

    how to build on to this coop?

    Building materials are expensive right now, but I'd recommend getting something that you won't have to go nuts insulating. Realistically for 4 chickens, going for another prefab made of the plastic wood instead of regular wood will insulate and keep them safe and won't break down like regular...
