    Wound or contagious infection?

    Found my alpha girl today with a nasty black sore on her neck. Cleaned it and applied some triple antibiotic cream. Looking for opinions on what she may have. Wound from fighting/protecting or something contagious like pox? She has a bit of black on her waddle too. Thanks in advance.

    Sand in a mobile coop?

    Question for all you sand enthusiasts out there. Can you use it in a mobile coop like this one? I am concerned about the added weight and whether or not I can get (and keep)a full 3 inches in there. Thoughts?
