So you use the sweet pdz on the boards below their roosts and then pine shavings on the floor? We just built our coop and haven't moved them in yet and I'm trying to decide how what I need to do about the floor. It is simply a piece of plywood right now. I was wondering if I should put a roll...
Did you put an antibiotic ointment on her wounds? I used neosporin without the pain relief on my chickens foot when she lost her toe and it has helped with the healing process.
I attempted to put her back into the brooder on Saturday and almost immediately they began to attack her again. A bandaid won't stay on because her toe is essentially a nub. There is nothing to wrap. There was one chicken who wouldn't even allow her to drink from the waterer. Thoughts on...

Any suggestions for one chick who can't seem to have a solid poop? This has been for the past two days. I got my chicks last Friday from a local store. All of my others are doing fine just this one. They are on a medicated feed with water only. Do I need to introduce anything else into...
