    Hen severely injured

    I hope by now that you have separated her from the rest of the flock, or she will not survive. My rooster’s days are numbered. He constantly jumps on the smallest hen, and he’s violent without romance.

    Hen severely injured

    So sad. Did your rooster do this? I've seen mine grab the back of the hen's head to hold her down and mate. I stop him when I see this. You may need to separate her from the others until she heals. I would put Neosporin on it to fight infection.

    Predator Proof Enough to Leave Door Open?

    I am in eastern NC. It is hot and humid. I have 2 coops inside a 13x10 run, but my chickens free range during the day. Should I recover my run with 1/4” hardware cloth? It came with regular green chicken wire and it looks so flimsy. I inspect the run everyday. So far nothing has got in yet, but...

    Do the chickens get their feet caught in the wire?

    My Roosters are trying to kill the younger ones. I have chickens that are 1 month apart and they do not get along. I have 3 chicks 3-4 weeks old and I keep them separate also.

    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Your Coop Smelling Fresh?

    What kind of wood chips? I live in eastern NC and we have a lot of rain. Keeping it dry is the problem. Everything I’ve read suggests buying construction sand.

    How to clean Dust in Coop

    I grow herbs - mint, rosemary, parsley, fennel, oregano, and add cinnamon to sprinkle around the coop making it smell better. Baking soda helps a lot too!

    How to set up a chicken dust bath

    Construction grade sand is good for dust bath. A kitty litter pan is a good size. My chickens use the pine shavings and my nice potting soil in my garden to bathe. 😩

    How to clean Dust in Coop

    I didn’t think you were supposed to use Bleach? The smell gives the birds upper respiratory problems. I/2 vinegar and 1/2 water works well. I also buy a spray on Amazon for chicken coops.

    How to clean Dust in Coop

    Are you using Pine shavings? I don’t have much dust at all.

    What do you layer your poop tray with, so that the litter scoop works?. I use pine shavings and the scoop does not work.

    Official BYC Poll: How Often Do You Clean Your Coop?

    I clean the coop about every two days. In this heat, the smell draws a lot of flies. I clean the run/pen once a week. If it rains, I clean it when it stops raining. I’m a clean freak and the chickens are free range. It’s difficult for them to find bugs in a clean yard. 😂🤣😆
