    Stationary Coop?

    Elevate it with multiple floors? I did that with part of my run. Gives them shade or they can lay in the sun if they wish.

    Coop care

    My question. Inside my coop I get a dirt, straw, pine shaving and poop build up in certain areas like under my roosting bar and around the feeders and water. Does this have to be removed. I ask because it looks like hard packed dirt. But I know it's the mixed build up.

    Run addon for new chickens

    I just built a large run for our birds, I would recommend going 3 feet high and wide that way you don't have to cut the hardware cloth. I also used 8 foot 2x2's only $4 ea at Homedepo. Get the hardware cloth from Amazon they have the best prices and you get twice as much vs Homedepo's price.

    Wing injury

    It's s all purple, looks like the time I crushed my thumb in a break. She is squaking and refusing to walk. The squaking is loud and with lots of flapping. We have heard something about blood feathers?? It's the tip segment of the wing that is all purple.
