    Cocci?

    Is this cocci? Or would it be brighter red and thicker? I’ve found blood in stool like this almost daily the past 4 days. Just one dropping typically. I noticed my roo had a slightly bloody foot feather this morning.

    Pump House Coop Reno

    Well chicken math got the best of me! And I’ve decided to fix up my old pump house 9.5x9.5 as a second coop and add a 16x8 Lean to run. It needs a lot of help! Here she is in all her glory. We ripped the siding off to find the original lap structure. I already have HC along the open eves. Next...

    Any tips on building a tin roof in run around tree trunk(s)?! I found one post which did a hardware cloth collaboration. I’m doing a lean to tin roof out from existing roof. I’d like to keep at least one trunk of tree for shade on coop. Thanks!

    Omitting lap siding gaps

    Any suggestions on how to attach a run to metal lap siding and omitting the gaps in the lap? I need my run to be weasel proof. I’m concerned with the gap between the laps and would rather not cut the siding to put 4x4 directly on to sheeting below. I’ll take a photo for example

    Lethargic & pale hen -what am I missing?!

    My Sapphire Gem isn’t doing so great. I’ve been looking her over and see nothing out of the ordinary besides her being pale and lethargic. Not egg bound. No mites. Crop seems to be emptying. All other chickens are happy and healthy. She’s had probiotics, scrambled eggs, granite grit and is...

    Polish cockerel - trim feathers?

    This is Sprite, my Polish Sizzle cockerel. He has yet to show any aggression but as you can see, I have yet to trim the feathers around his eyes. Sounds a bit mean, but should I intentionally keep the feathers a little longer to hinder his vision during potential attacks?! Or am I thinking about...

    Roll out nest box bedding?

    So I’m thinking the next batch of chicks I get I will have to build a new coop for so they don’t have the same habits. Now that my whole flock of 7 are pretty much into egg eating I think my only option is to cull or fight this issue until this batch passes. It’s constant two steps fwd and one...

    Bug issue waiting period

    Deep cleaning the coop last night I discovered tiny bugs in a few crevices which I assumed were mites. I have yet to find one on any of my four hens but going to check again in a bit. Upon research they may not be mites - they were tiny like mites but more oval if that even makes sense. Black...
