Very first foray into keeping chickens. Pics of new coop! Update pg2!

Wow! Great looking coop! Well done!

The hens are beautiful. I'm a pretty new chicken momma, but they look like my golden sex-link. I was told they are great layers.

Any input on the snotty nose on the one? Are there any antibiotics or medicine I should give her?


Also, one of them has a slightly crooked beak.....as in the upper one is very slightly to the right of the lower. As far as I can tell she still eats just fine.

Nice coop!!

Later if I was you i would expand the run out just a tad to give them room to flap there wings a bit, can't go wrong with a bit of chicken wire

We're pretty limited on adding any more chicken-specific space, but they get at least 3 hours of supervised free range time every day....so I think they're pretty happy.

I'm suprised no one picked up on this. I haven't had any experience with sick chickens (except bumblefoot), so I can't give you any advice - except if you haven't already I would post in the emergencies/cures section.

It sounds like your other girl has a crossbeak.

Very nice coop too!

Exactly what I did. Cant seem to get the coop built quick enough, but it has been fun watching the chicks grow.
