    Sounds like she shouldn't be trying to raise chicks. Maybe suggest her getting pullets, but you may have to intervene again.

    Oh no! I'm sure the hens would still use it 😉 but, that is an issue, especially in the winter. What caused it to collapse?

    I started raising chickens about 3 years ago and I'm still learning. We started with a cheap coop and brooded our 1st ones indoors. We learned our lesson after we bought a prefabricated expensive coop, the older hens prefer the older coop.

    If they really want to do it, I don't think there's much you can say. If you're concerned, just warn they're harder to take care of than they look. Maybe tell them to start small.

    Mine looks great, and it only took about 9 months for her to grow them all back. Due to some of our recent subzero temp, sometimes she has a little frost in her fro In the morning. I hope that's not bad for her. I am curious what others' fully feathered birds are looking like?

    Does my dog really need Banfield veterinarians?

    I would say it's only beneficial if they're older and need more treatments such as xrays or minor joint treatments. Dental was useful also. I used it for 2 dogs and a cat but it end up getting expensive! I moved to a rural area and its a lot cheaper to not pay a monthly fee if they just need...
