    Pavers for chicken coop run?

    I’m buying a second hand coop that is currently set up on concrete pavers, and had the entire run floor also made of concrete pavers. My partner has never had chickens before and he’s worried about mess, and it got my thinking, maybe I should also put pavers down for their run floor?? I’d put...

    Quail advise :)

    How much egg is too much in a day? For reference I’m meaning a quail egg not chicken. Is it okay if I were to feed one quail an egg per day or this that far too much? :)

    Do Austrolorps/Amaracaunas usually have poopy butts?

    We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?

    One of our hens was standing in the corner of the run and staring off into the distance so we brought her inside and gave her a salt bath, some water, and a scrambled egg with a crushed up calcium citrate pill in it. We put her in a basket lined with a towel and after maybe 30 minutes, she...
