Very nice! I hope to use metal on my next coop/breeder/grow out building. Depends on pricing at the time. Again... that's very nice!  

We had the metal left over from the sheep sheds, and I saved it, knowing that I would build something or other in the future. Turned into a chicken coop! We have 2 of the sheep sheds, the other is in a different pen.

What can I do for these two hens? And anyone know what breed they are?

probably red sex link, For vet care get some vertericyn if possible, and keep them seperated. Don't bandage it. If it gets infected, put some nesporin WITHOUT painkiller on the wound. (painkiller is toxic)

I thought they were Red Sex Links. Thanks for the confirmation. We use vetricyn all the time for sheep. I think I'll use the vetricyn gel. Sprays on, but goopy. I'll seperate those two from the rest. Once there's blood, the other chickens won't stop pecking it, right?

It's called "selective memory"... just like my selective hearing!!!
