    At wits ends!!! Chickens have unidentified bugs on them.

    My flock of 12 have very, very, very tiny bugs on them. I've tried numerous times to take pictures of the bugs but they are so small I can not get a picture of the bugs. They are just barely visable.they are a creamish/tan color. I have treated the flock the coop and the run with de/woodash...

    15wk unsteady and cocked head

    I have a 15week bantam polish. She was really weak this morning and unsteady on her feet. I have brought her in and she is eating and drinking on her own. She doesn't seem as weak but is still slightly unsteady and she keeps cocking her head to the side. I thought it was to see due to her crest...

    suggestions for flooring in coop and run

    We have a converted 8x8 shed with dirt flooring, the run is 8×12. We had 4days of rain and now the run is a mess. Thankfully the coop actually stayed dry except for a tiny leak in the roof in one place that we will patch. Trying to decide the cheapest but most effective stuff I can put down on...
