    I love this coop! I think I'll use your basic design for my own. Do you know how tall the coop itself is, and also the 4x4s you sunk into the ground?

    How should I wrap it? Because that’s how their feet swell and got cut was from the wrapping being too tight.

    Drops of liquid are coming out. Should I keep them off the bedding and in a separate box in the brooder so the shaving don’t get caught on the wound or attempt to rewrap it?

    I came to check on them and took off the wraps to check and her foot was swollen. It’s like a blister and part of the skin broke from the wrap being too tight but she seemed fine when I put it on. They’re currently in Epsom salt and I feel terrible.

    Their enclosure now. I bathed all of them in Epsom salt and wrapped their feet who had been infected. They’re on some aspen I had :)

    Like outside outside? I’m making an outdoor area for them as I live in Florida and it’s already in the 80s. Not permanent but to get them out of the brooder until I can get them into the other.

    I’m moving them to a bigger dog crate soon. Could this be contagious? Should I separate her?

    One of my chicks is about two weeks old and had a bit of pooo crusted to her foot. I figured it would come off. About a week later it looks like chunks of skin are coming off. I put triple antibiotic ointment yesterday and soaked her in water today.

    Herbs for Chicks?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could put herbs in the brooder, water, and feed to help the smell, fight diseases and what not. I have some dried lav and cham and other fresh.

    Also is there any way to raise chicks to be more quiet? Or not as loud?

    It's not so much that I have limited space it's just that I wouldn't be able to let them out very often. I could when I get back from school (yes I'm only 12) and my mom could when she is off work. I suppose I could make a good sized coop from a shed though. We are going to have a pool when we...
