    Black dots on Rooster

    Is my Bantam Rooster okay? He has black dots on his crown and waddle. It looks like black scabs maybe? Maybe sure it isn't fowl pox!

    WATERMELON SEEDS

    Trying to beat this Georgia heat, so I made my chickens watermelon treats. :) I wanted to triple check that the seeds won't hurt them to eat? I've frozen them, cut up in ice cube trays and even froze the skin of the watermelon.

    Chicken Run-- what's in it?

    I have grass in it now.. but before long it'll just be dirt. What do you guys put in your chicken run? In best boxes I put hay. I put pine shavings in the coop. But what in the whole run? It's a 18x18.

    Trough or automatic feeders??

    My chickens are in a 18x18 run.. the left over food is attracting a insane amount of bugs. = wasted food! Moisture gets in it through the night, mud, and even rain that somehow blows into the food. What are thoughts on troughs? Or maybe throwing food in a bowl type thing for them to eat out...

    Coop at night! Close door?

    I have a coop inside a chicken run. (Two of them actually) Should I close the coop doors at night if the runs that are attached to the coop are locked shut? See photos.

    ROACHES, HELP

    My chicken run is covered. Excuse me, covered, infested, etc... that's a understatement. At first it was too many flys- got fly traps. My fiancé wants a chemical safe for the chickens to spray on the ground to kill them. I won't allow, being dangerous for chickens. Any recommendations?

    I have 4 standard chickens that have a 18x18 run and coop. However, having to keep silkies (4 total) separate from them.. not getting along, at all! Are they able to live in this coop pictured? If not, may have to find a new home for these babies.

    What to use as their flooring?

    hey guys! My run and coop are both on top of a grass area. As I know, it's a matter of time before the grass turns to dirt. Should I keep the dirt? Add sand? Hay? Any advice would be great!
