    who puts/doesn't put food and water in the coop?

    I keep food and water in run... they dont go in coop at all during daylight hours. when I first put them in coop I hung food and water in there, but they spent all day in run, it made sense to keep it out there. I do let them out at 5am as they are squaking to get out. :)

    Where is the best place to put a coop?

    Shade for sure and if possible a small sunny side as well. I was worried they would be cool so I went with a mainly sunny spot, bad idea they need shade!!! I would also consider view from your house, I like being able to see them.

    Chipped beak... Will it grow back

    All 5 of my chickens beaks got chipped from pecking at hardware cloth because my kids were feeding them grass through the wire. All 5 healed back to normal in a short amount of time. This was just the tip of the beaks.

    Chicken repeatedly scraping beak on stone patio?

    Mine scrape their beaks back and forth every day, I dont know why but they do. They do this so frequently I thought it was normal... I hope your hen is ok :)

    Post a pic of your chickens "beating the heat"

    How cute! Ive got a smlar set up with the canopy in the run, they hang out there all day, still panting, but under cover- I am leary of putting out any kind of water to bathe in as Ive got one all bandaged up with bumblefoot. I tried fans last heat wave and it just scared them.

    Possible Bumble foot?

    I am currently treating a pullet with bumble foot but she walks around fine, I noticed pink swelling in between toes first off and it was pretty significant, but never hindered her from walking. If theres no black scab that may not be the issue....maybe she injured her leg?

    Bumblefoot treatment-apparent success!

    Im glad it worked well for you. I am hoping we will have same results. we had one minor ( just black scab, no swelling) the other foot was pretty nasty, 2 black spots and another cut visible on the toe. I tried the soaking and wrapping for a week with pretty much no change, then a friend who...

    2 chicks with BROKEN beaks

    Could they be pecking at the wire and damaging their beaks? I asked as mine did this when they were little and all of them had chunks missing from their beaks which grew back rather quickly- what I realized is my kids were feeding them grass through the 1/4" wire and they were frantically...

    Possible Cracked Beak?

    I have had a hen who 2 times has bled from the top of beak/nasal area, both times it was because she got scared and flipped similar to what you are descibing. I dont think it was extensive and injury as yours but she seemed to recovered fine, just had dried blood on her for a few days, luckily...

    Any tips on quieting my pullets?

    This is good advice( I was trying to quote the poster who said they talked to neighbors)- I was worried about it every day and I just spoke to my nieghbors who said its not a problem and they dont mind. Giving eggs to them also helps :)
