    Omlet tunnel for Chickens?

    We have an auto door on one and while it works it’s a pain and We have a large coop with attached run that houses 12 chickens but some sleep in the run on perches (the run is 8x8x8). The other coop houses 8 with 8x8x4’H run. One of the coops has an automatic door that works good but has been a...

    Omlet tunnel for Chickens?

    We have the Omlet set up with 8 in "pipes" which as I look at them, I realize they are too small. I found a really great option for pre-fab tunnels in the UK that I am very excited about. https://www.runaround.co.uk/products/high-mesh-tunnel-den-pipe-suspension These are 20 in tall, 10 in...

    Omlet tunnel for Chickens?

    We have 2 large coops and runs. One coop has a automatic door. We would like to connect the coops with a Omlet tunnel that is typically used for bunny’s. We have this set up for our rabbits and they love it. I just don’t know if anyone has used the tunnel for chickens or if it is big enough?

    Fat bellied 1 yr leghorn with xrays

    Update on Fat Belly! She is still with us!! She keeps mostly to her coop but has a good appetite & poops a lot. Her belly is still swollen but she acts fine. We put her out in the yard by herself and she waddles back to her coop. We recently added another chicken that was getting picked on too...

    @Saaniya She is still alive and her belly is shrinking but she still stands like a penguin. Not laying eggs though. Thank you for asking.

    @rebrascora Thanks so much! I really just want to be doing something to make her comfortable. Not sure what to do. We are not going the implant route.

    @Saaniya Thank you so much for asking! She is waddling around and much more active. We are moving her to a coop by the house so she will have her own close to us. She’s eating and pooping and isn’t laying. Her belly is still shrinking but she still walks like a penguin and with her legs far...

    I’m sorry! I didn’t answer this. No her abdomen is not back to normal yet.

    2 week update. She’s still has a fat belly but I think it is becoming more liquidy..(not a word, but you get it). Eating like a pig and pooping normal white/black semi formed with some mucas. I went ahead and gave her another calcium citrate with D3. I just broke the tablet and give it to her...

    In the photos you can see she starts off standing like a chicken but the longer she stands the more upright like a peguin she becomes. Her belly is still not normal, but it is shrinking. Thank you for caring. Each day sees improvements

    Good idea! That’s how we introduce new birds so I’m sure it will work. Thanks!!

    Update: Gave her her injection of Baytril. The doctor did not even provide a diagnosis. This morning she was very gabby and moving around a lot more. So, I tried to reintroduce her. Sometimes, chickens can be such jerks! Jersey and Dixie Chick were not having it. Chased her. She faught back a...

    Thanks for the kind words. Foghorn looks cantankerous but she’s lovey!! She just wants me to work for it! Leghorns will always be my favorite!

    Later today... She’s down 2.5 inches. I’ve been giving her Lincocin & Zydaclin. Will be switching to baytril tomorrow. Haven’t integrated her with the flock yet. Her coop is heated and freshly manintained and I’m worried the others will pick on her. I’m also worried about minitoring her intake...
