Hi there yesterday I found one of my girls huddled in the corner of the coop. She stayed low to the ground at first I thought she was sitting on some eggs. Upon further inspection I noticed her vent was inflamed and white stuff was coming out. Smelled gross. I took her inside and checked for egg...
So I went out to the coop this morning and found an ostraloop that wouldn't walk. I don't know what's wrong. She had diarrhea. She won't move to get food or water. There are no injuries that I can find. She is about 7 months old. Is she sick what should I do?

Hi everyone! 👋
I just bought an incubator last night from my local TSC, and I have no idea where to put it! My living room and kitchen is attached and there are lots of windows that light up my space. It is a very small house with no basement or spare bedroom, so I don't really have an area...

So hubby has his mind set on using a greenhouse as the chicken run. Like one of those long tunnel greenhouses. I keep telling him no. I'd prefer the traditional outdoor dog kennel run. The run I have in question is only $400 and has a roof that is 10' wide 20' long and almost 7 tall. What he...
