    Mites all over eggs!!!

    My bantam want broody so I put four fertilised eggs under her in her own nest box. She has a coop and run to herself now that the others can't access. We've had a week of her being superb but today when I got up she was standing outside the coop looking pretty sick - tail down, eyes half...

    Weird eggs in my girls' poop after coccidiosis medication

    As much as posting images of poo online isn't really my thing, this morning I was greeted with this little party in the run! My three girls are about 3-years-old and have been amazing layers (they're warrens) until a couple of weeks ago. One by one they stopped laying and stared molting...

    How dark should the coop be?

    This is a home made coop I've been working on for my three ladies. It's built around an old garden swing A-frame and has a ground level (half hardstanding, half earth) and an upstairs roosting area with 2 nesting boxes against that open hatch. I've painted primer onto the outside, but I'm not...
