    Chicken run door getting stuck

    We did have one there for a little bit but it wasn’t quite that big. It was trapping the dirt even more because it was then going over it and getting stuck then between the wood and the door. But again, it wasn’t quite that big so maybe that had something to do with it!!

    2.5 week old Rhode Island Red sleeping standing up

    She seems to be eating and drinking fine. Most of the time she is with the rest of the flock but has been standing pretty upright and then will just close her eyes and seem to fall asleep. Thoughts?

    Prolapsed vent?! New chicken momma!

    Since this post she has been acting 100% normal. Should we be doing anything? We’ve been doing prep H once a day and pushing it back. But that’s it.

    Prolapsed vent?! New chicken momma!

    Is this a prolapsed vent? I noticed she wasn’t hanging out with the other chicks and was moving around slowly. Then I saw her straining to As been drinking water but not sure about eating.
