    Here is a couple pictures of my hens I am slightly concerned about. The sapphire gem is molting so her comb is not the prettiest. The other is my olive egger and she is not molting. She’s the one I am mostly concerned about. They are both acting normal otherwise.

    People with intense winters: Runs + Snow Load?

    Have you ever had any issues with the straw and them getting impacted crops? We currently use pine shavings so I am thinking of using that over straw.
