An acquaintance's chicken has a weird lump near the eye, they tried to drain it but no pus came out. I think that it's a deep cyst, possibly some respiratory infection. I'm writing this for them as they don't really use English websites.

Hello. I would like to ask if it would be possible to use a silicone mat at the bottom of a coop to catch all the feces and then you would simply roll it up and clean it outside? I use dry bedding so I thin this could work with it. Any opinions on this as I haven't seen any other people doing...
I was closing the coop for the night and I noticed there was blood on the floor and it was coming from her. When we got her inside we disinfected and patched with some bandages and sticks for support. She had and exposed joint but it wasn't fractured and we tried to put it as best into place. Do...
