    Egg Bound. Not looking good. Advice.

    Blu kote on Featherless vent? Opinions

    My S.W. has been without vent feathers for months now.. from what I witnessed the day before she went bare it was from a picker. I haven’t witnessed any feather picking since and I spend a lot of time with these girls. None of the girls show signs of mites or lice. Very clean environment and...

    Do I need to “insulate” this coop for the winter??

    From what I know they should be fine as is, but someone in tractor supply asked me if I insulated the coop for winter time... I’m in NJ over here not the arctic so I didn’t think it was necessary. Just wanted some opinions from you guys.

    Dominate hen got bullied? Missing feathers.

    Okay so this little silver Wyandotte is actually the leader of the flock. I come out one day and her feathers are all messed up. Pulled out and torn. I was furious. She was gorgeous before this happened. When she laid the first egg they where not yet in the coop, they where in my garage...
