    Looking into ways of adding then removing skids to coops for transportation

    Would you guys suggest a way to put skids on to transport a henhouse/run, then remove it afterwards? I can't think of a good way to get them off

    Any ideas for removable wheels?

    They're usually a few hundred pounds, I think I'd be under the weight limit. I look into side tires. What methods would be good for attaching trailer wheels to the sides? I'd imagine a bolt would need to go through the wood

    Looking for advice with my chicken coop build

    Looking for advice with my chicken coop build

    Thanks for the tip on the blocks! I'll flip them then. I still need to balance them out and secure the flooring anyways. I assume screwing the flooring in with angles would be enough to secure them together?

    Chick with odd looking anus. Cant tell if constipated, normal, or pasty.

    Chick with odd looking anus. Cant tell if constipated, normal, or pasty.

    I noticed the anus seems to stick out with something brown at the end. I cant tell if its normal or not (under is brown from me cleaning poop around it) The chick eats and drinks normally. Should I separate from the rest to see if it poops normally?
