Hello, This is a very sad story but a very valuable lesson I learned. So I have had my chickens for almost 2 years now. I built an automatic watering system for them which consisted of a 55 gallon drum in the rafters of the coop roof and a pvc pipe that comes down and goes to horizontal...

Hello I have 12 chickens that I got all at exactly the same time they are all exactly the same age. 6 cinnimon queens, 3 barred rock, 3 Easter eggers. They are all 18 months. A few months ago I noticed one chicken had a raw butt. I quarantined it and the feathers slowly began to grow back...

Hello, We have tried to do my research and found the consensus seems to be 10% of floor space for ventilation. We are in the process of making a 4x8 coop and it is covered by an existing overhang from a garage/shed. The soffit of the existing building has vents and there is a ridge vent on...
