I went to let the chickens out this morning and Felicia was acting very strange and lethargic. I checked her vent and there was egg yolk oozing out and a string of soft egg shell. I gently pulled some of it out but I fear there's still some left inside. I read that I should bathe her and then...

Thank you everyone for your help! I understand now insulation might not have been necessary-I do have adequate ventilaton so it might be pointless but the covered insulation doesnt hurt and the extra wall provides stability to the coop. Thanks again, I'll see what I can do

Thanks so much for your help and the pictures! I'll see what I can do

Ok thank you! I might try it I have one golden comet as well-so cute!

Linoleum could work.. I might try that. Would I just glue it down though? I don't know about the sheet metal because I'm not sure how I would cut it, I'm assuming a regular saw wouldn't do it?

It gets really cold here and insulating the coop was suggested to me by many. I'm not going to take it down...and that wasn't the question I was asking. Thanks for your time anyway

Hey! Our coop is insulated with pink styrofoam sheets and the walls are covered with thin wooden boards but there are some areas around the door and the sides of the door that are not covered. Unfortunaely the chickens love to eat it so I need some way to cover it. I need a very thin...

Yesterday, my 1 year old chicken started acting very lethargic, she didn't want to come out of the coop. I noticed she was what looked like chewing on air. She was opening and closing her mouth constantly but not gasping for air, only small movemnets. When she tried to drink everything would...

She eats grass throughout the day as well as her normal feed and some occasional sunflower seeds or cracked corn. i withheld food for a day but nothing has really changed, i don't really want to give stool softeners because she already has very watery green stool and i dont want to make it...

Help Please! Her crop is getting bigger and bigger!

My chicken suffered from doughy crop about 2 months ago and healed fine but two days ago I noticed that her crop is HUGE and really soft. At first I thought it was sour crop but I got her to vomit a little and it didn't smell bad, just like food and water. Her crop is still half full in the...

That's a nice idea but I don't think it will work for me! Thanks though

Ok! Do you mean duck tape or...?

Sounds good! I thought of using the inside tube of a bicycle tire? Im just a little worried that the silicon and tire tubing won't look good- I know, I know it's not that important...

Hi! We finished building our coop a few months ago-it's not perfect but it will hold up. However, water can leak through the crack of the nest box lid touching the house and it makes everything wet and it's starting to mould. Does anyone know how can I close the crack and still be able to open...

Ok thanks!

Yes I will be as careful as possible, thank you for the warning!

I give her coconut oil and then massage her...it's not helping but thank you for the kind wishes!

My hen is sick and I need to get lots of liquid down her but I don't know where to get a proper feeding tube and all my vet has is this...will that be ok? I don't want to hurt her but I can't order online because it will take too long to get here?!? Please help!

Ok now I'm worried that I did it wrong...what are the symptoms?
