    Sound proofing half the coop

    Hello I’d like to take the edge off ‘Jack the roo’s’ crowing in the morning. I can’t soundproof all the coop because I want to have it very well ventilated. If I just insulated and sound proofed the two walls facing the house and left the others vented would this help much you think? Thanks

    Hello I havint opened her up, not sure how I’d go with that but if it needs to be done I would. Was going to look for a stuck egg at least when it’s light tomorrow. Thanks again

    Gasping and coughing/sneezing Hen

    Hey Im not sure, they were very small bones and she also seemed to get progressively worse. Would a wasp sting do this? Thanks

    Gasping and coughing/sneezing Hen

    Hi There One of our hens died today. Just wanted to share a bit of the back story so we can find out what happened to her. 2 days ago our Black Australorp (Raven) started mildly gasping/wheezing along with the occasional cough and her butt was contracting with her breath a bit.

    How many Chickens for a 2000sqf run to keep it clean

    The new coop will be big, going to by a kids cubby, fit it out, remove the floor and put it on wheels/tracks to slide above my compost bins, that way I can move it now and again and hopefully less cleaning ;-)
