My coop is roughly the same size (8x4). My setup isn't the best but I feel like it makes good use of the small space. Maybe you could relocate some of the nest boxes? Seems like you have more than enough though.

Ah! Alternatives! You rock! Cortisone- check Tums- check Thank you again! I'm feeling much more confident in helping her. Your explanation and reasons are super helpful!!!

I don't have calcium tablets on hand or witch hazel... I will get some in the morning. I do however have vetericyn (bought it about a month ago for "just in case". So should I... clean her off again, push the prolapse back, spray vetericyn, then let her rest- say for the remainder of tonight...

Should I still give her calcium now that the egg is out? I've been feeding them all flock and have a free access feeder of oyster shell.

Thank you for the video! I put her in the sink and was able to gently squeeze the egg out pretty quick. Hopefully caught it quick enough :fl, was able to push what had come out back in a bit but it came back out when she tried to poo. Shes in a dog pen in the bathroom. Thinking I should try to...

I'm pretty sure this is her first egg. What can I do to help her?!

I'm going to assume they're the ruby throated but I'm not sure... perhaps you might know? I live in the southwest corner of Colorado, small "town" of Hesperus, about 7,500 ft elevation. I enjoyed your pictures. I've never seen a "white breasted nuthatch" nor heard of one. What a pretty bird! We...

:D makes sense!

Pandit, Thomas and Betts etc make a "dome top" style, they have a stainless steel wire that runs through the plastic, most have a higher tensile rating and are UV resistant. (I sell industrial supplies and these are by far the highest performing) would recommend going through some type of...

Thank you! Is it very common (hatchery or not) for them to not have the face floof? Breed standards or you just get what you get?

The hatchery I got chicks from states that all have muffs but not all have beards. I ordered two (first pic is of "both EEs" that I received). Wondering if she is an ameraucana or something else? I'm new to chickens so advise is much appreciated. (Also new to BYC so sorry if the photos are in...

Hi! I'm new here and new to chicken keeping and I'm officially obsessed with them... I ordered 16 mixed flock chicks (2 didnt make through the 2nd day- one polish, one sussex), remaining 14 have all seemed very health and lively. However, the remaining buff laced polish is significantly smaller...
