Welcome to the club! You'll be enjoying chicken antics & shenanigans soon & you'll be spending tv time outside in a lawn chair while watching them. They are entertaining! Plus, you get to know each chickens personality & the sound of each voice. Therefore, it's easier to catch when someone is...

I've got a former battery hen with a crop impaction. This is day 2 of treatment. At first she had a case of sour crop but I don't see that being an issue since I gave her yogurt Thursday night when I initially brought her inside. I can feel bits of grain (I'm assuming it's scratch grains) &...

I'm leaning towards Roo on this one.

The entire "ceiling" is hardware cloth as well as the eaves of the roof. We will mount a fan to help move air during the heat of the summer.

The "ceiling" is hardware cloth & the overhang from the roof has hardware cloth as well. It's not enclosed with soffit. Do you think that is enough proper ventilation? I can take pictures of it tomorrow to add for a visual reference.

I clean the roosts & droppings box daily. I change the shavings on the coop floor in late spring, early summer. That's when I do a deep clean. I wipe & mop the surfaces & linoleum floors.

I had mites in 2022 & it was not a great experience. I've added First Saturday Lime to my nest boxes & all in the coop to help prevent an infestation again. I bought some discarded commercial layers for $3 each & did the rookie mistake of not doing quarantine. 🤦‍♀️ Those "cheap" birds cost A...

I purchased a Rent A Coop (great small business & customer service) treadle feeder in 2021 & it's one of my favorite investments! I only need to add food about once a week to keep it full. Automatic coop door that takes batteries & uses a sensor for light & darkness detection that you can adjust...

This is absolutely darling! You did a phenomenal job. 👏

I just shared our new setup in a new thread but here's a few pictures. It's 6×12 & the roosts & droppings box are removable. We just moved them in on Tuesday night.

This new coop has been under construction for about 13 months. It's 6×12 & there's more space. The coop they were in my husband & I built in the summer of 2020. Shortly after we got chicks. It is 4×8. A few things need renovated after almost 4 years of use. (We aren't builders by any means but...

They spent a lot of time under the back deck.

A lot of my family are from the Texas panhandle. Y'all don't have many trees to be a wind break like us!

Watered the onions that are planted & added some water to the garlic. I added some poppy seeds to water in a silicone muffin pans & put in freezer for the stratification. I'll throw out the frozen pucks in a few different areas in a few days!

I fed them their favorite organic mealworms this evening. It was a gorgeous day but EXTREMELY windy! 20 to 30 mph winds with 50 mph gusts. 😳 My face feels wind burned.

I agree. Something internal for sure!

No egg withdrawal on Aquasol!

You can try the bag balm a few days & see if you notice it changing in size. Is the knot hard? Feverish when you touch it?
