    Plexiglass walls in run?

    Straw in the run, when it gets wet molds quickly. I too have a run that gets wet, and dirt floor. In the winter I put rippled plastic around the run to hold some heat in and protect from cold winds but summer makes it an oven if left up. In one side in summer I put up an awning. It keeps a lot...

    Golden lace wing nail torn off with bleeding

    Yes, I understand. She was still walking around when I found it was her, though a bit of a limp. In the carrier, she doesn't have room to move around and it's night so she'll be off it at least til morning. I'll see then if she bleed anymore. She's quiet and off to sleep for now.

    Golden lace wing nail torn off with bleeding

    Thank you for responding. I figured I would keep her in the car carrier tonight here in the house. If there hasn't been any bleeding since she came in the house, do you think she can rejoin the flock in the morning?

    Golden lace wing nail torn off with bleeding

    Finished a new run area for my flock of 8 today. I saw blood on a perch and tracked down who was bleeding. One of my golden lace wings had torn off the toe nail of her main toe in the middle of her rt. foot. I scooped her up before the others noticed, rinsed it with cool water and put her in the...

    Fantastic coop! Going to be rebuilding ours come late spring early summer (if it ever gets here). Thank you for sharing.

    my girls have really slowed down the laying

    In the spring, I'll start another small flock, not hybrids this time. And maybe a duel purpose bird too. Of the 12 I started with...Joey went to a new home, Red, Goldie and Molt all got egg bound after their first molt. Sad!

    my girls have really slowed down the laying

    I thought it was just my girls....molting---some yes, led light---well of course, but last year no slow down at all. Was an egg a day from everyone. Ahh the good old days.
