I kick my door closed every night at the bottom , it's like warped at the bottom, I can make it close, it just bothers me because I worked so hard to build a predator proof coop. My husband didn't build it.... I did!!
Really, my neighbors think it's OK but the City council HATES backyard animals, I live in Waukesha county, outside of Milwaukee, even Milwaukee can have 4 hens per property!!! I live on an 1 acre of land, WTF??
I've had dreams that the city TOOK them all away. I raised them them from chicks, they make LESS noise than a DOG and give EGGS, why are people so narrow minded??
I've been keeping chickens in violation of my suburban city ordinance for 3 yrs, I wouldn't give them up for anything, I only have 6 hens, they give us all we need
Again, I live in the FROZEN TUNDRA , we have temps -30F over night and sometimes during the day, I put OSB, tar paper and then Metal roof over my coop, NO moisture problems.
@HippieAtHeart , I apologize for my curt post. I misunderstood your intentions. Everyone is giving you great advice, hope your hen pulls through. I’ve taken the same hen to the vet twice, I’m sure I’m viewed as silly. Again, I’m sorry.
If she's JUST livestock, KILL her, put her out of her misery. This hen will need lots of care, including to be brought INSIDE and quarantined with dressing changes, antibiotics and ointments on a daily basis. I'm a nurse and have helped lots of members successfully with injured hens. My hens...
