    Coop condensation issues

    My flock is currently 4 chickens and 5 ducks. Thank you for your reply, I never considered with all the ventilation it had that it would need more (there’s slits on the front and back walls and 2 skylight vents) I will look into getting some powered ventilation

    Coop condensation issues

    I am currently using a vinyl 7x7 shed as a coop. I notice that there is a lot of condensation in the ceiling of the coop, and the bedding I put inside is getting soiled really quickly. (Don’t mind the photos, I’m currently cleaning out the old bedding) Do you guys have any recommendations on how...

    Hens wing feathers poking out?

    I have a barred rock hen, and her feathers are not laying flush against her body. She is around 10-11 weeks old. I’m not sure if this is an injury or not. Help please?

    Duckling ID?

    I purchased two ducklings at my local TSC and they were unlabeled. I didn’t realize that there were a few different duckling breeds that were brown. Could these possibly be khaki cambells? What things do you look for when identifying ducklings? I can provide more photos if needed.

    Sand for coop floor?

    I was wanting to use sand in the bottom of my coop and wasn’t sure if this was too fine to use. This is just local sand by the creek near my home.

    What breed of bird is this?

    It does, but it doesn't have the white between it's eyes, it has a red spot.

    Quote: Well this is the first time I have EVER seen one in harts creek. My dad actually caught it because it was stuck in his garage and was stuck in my bicycle wheel.

    What breed of bird is this?

    I didn't know if this post would go on the chicken-what breed or gender discussion board, since it is definitely NOT a chicken. (Oh, and please ignore the date on these pictures, my camera is messed up >.< ) I am not even sure if this thing is even native to West Virginia...... Here it is...

    What about what diseases and other things they can get and how to prevent them?

    What would have been wrong?

    Yeah, it seems like the ones you love the most are the ones most targeted. I still remember when my dog killed my hen that my grandma named Henrietta. She would fly out of the coop and go to my grandma's, where my grandma would feed her cat food out of her hand, then go back to the chicken lot...

    What breed is this or is it mixed?

    Yeah, I was thinking that too.

    What would have been wrong?

    I'm sorry for your losses too. I guess it was better than her being killed by a dog or something.
