    Anyone add a rabbit hutch to the interior of their coop??

    It should be fine I have had my chickens and rabbits together for a long time in a fenced area. My first egg was actually laid in the chicken cage instead of the coop area

    will egg bound bird ever lay again

    I have a BO who was eggbound with a broken egg about 2 weeks ago and I still have not had a regular egg from her. I nursed her back to health after that and she appears healthy running with the others just no eggs

Her comb is still red, I fed her olive oil soaked bread and she ate quite well is drinking but just more lethargic. Do I need to do anything...

    Please answer sick bird ? egg stuck

    She seems perkier since her bath and ate some yogurt for me. I have her in a box in my bathroom so hopefully she makes it . I just lost one of my silkies tonight to a wild animal I'm thinking I don't want to lose another one. Her vent looks better after the bath too
