    I need your opinions on Coops! What do you think of prefab coops?

    I have this prefab coop that I started out with. Pricey, not built to last, and no ventilation whatsoever. Other than that, the design isn’t bad really, but the worst part is the advertising that tells you how many chickens it will house. It says 11-20 birds will fit in there!

    What brand of feed are you using? I am getting the chlorhexidine and also some Rooster Booster to hopefully help her while she’s healing.

    Chicken with terrible wound

    I just switched to the 18% “animal feed”. I put neosporin on the wound last night and have continued to apply the vetericyn twice today already. I was moving the flock to their new much larger coop and run when I saw the wound yesterday. She is isolated in the smaller one now. She’s eating and...
