    Young hen can't stand up.

    I had a pullet (4 months old) that started staying in the coop and wouldn't come out. I brought her out and noticed she seemed a bit unsteady on her legs.

Daytime temps are plenty warm enough but nights are in the mid to upper 60's so we turn the light on for them in the coop. They eat game bird...

    Adding snake-proof wire to metal roof

    We just took the plunge and got chicks and keets. (We've been thinking about this for some time.) We found a family that builds quality coops/houses that we liked so bought one. But we need to snake-prood it as we know we have a black snake that lives under our house and is frequently seen...
