I have a 9 month old barnvelder with what seems like a giant, bursting tumor on her chest. I think I likely need to cull her asap but wanted to check here first. I had noticed a protrusion from her chest but I assumed it was just her build. But today and yesterday she seemed unwell and on...

Hi everyone! Anyone have some gas struts they love for a very heavy nesting box lid? I'm exhausted looking at the options and don't know anything about this stuff: Our coop is very similar to this. theres 2x4 framing under the lid so it's crazy heavy.

After much drama and getting rid of 3 roosters, I'm considering adding 2-3 pullets to my flock of 8 18 week olds. Is this a bad idea, or fine? I really don't want to deal with any more chicken drama or injuries. I had 3 of my 11 turn out to be roosters. A couple weeks ago one hen got a...
