Cats&Chickens

Flubenvet was Aug/Sept

One of my 3 has had slight diorrhea ever since I flubenvet (the other two are fine), slightly dirty bottom but seemed fine otherwise. seems to be getting worse and bottom was very dirty today... they have bokashi bran every day but doesnt seem to be helping her, any Ideas? they only have pellets/mash, and due flubenvet again this month so worried it might make it worse? they have clean water in a clean drinker every day, nettex tonic in water (when I remember) and no scraps

So basically as long as they are in a covered run and do not come into contact with wild bird droppings they are fine?

I use aubiose in my eglu go, so all good, but had a cold night last night (water bowl was frozen over this morning) and have a bag of barley straw from omlet to use so was wondering whether to put some in the eglu? there are 3 hybrids in there, judging by pooh location I dont think they “snuggle” whilst I realise that with door closed it would be warm enough, I have a panel on mine as I have a chicken guard door, so there are gaps, no idea if draughty or not though?

Silly question sorry but why not just remove feeders at night? i use dog bowls, remove at night and never had issue with vermin

They have wood perches also, this is sanded to keep claws files and hopefully avoid build Up on their feet. Run is so muddy even with woodchip....

Anyone know if any issue with using concrete/sanded perch for chickens? The type for large parrots thanks

They look young, probably not quite ready yet, comb is pink. Don’t stress, they will lay when ready

Are you referring to omlet one or chicken guard?

Its covered run but damp coming up through ground. Will mixing play sand in help?

I have compost in dust bath but ground is so wet it never dries, can I mix in sand? And play sand? Seems to be conflicting opinions about sand in dust bath as in toxic oR not toxic, good for skin or bad for skin... They use bath a lot so now have permanently damp chests....!

Is wood chip on ground in uncovered run ok?

I’m going to post pics, just got my eglu go but my run is not omlet plus I have a chicken guard locking door (which is brilliant btw)

where is this run from and is that metal mesh? Is there mesh on top? I have made a play pen using picket fence and chicken wire, but struggling with the top, as had industrial pigeon netting over it but the fox just sat and chewed a hole in it.... Also, do you let your chickens out beyond this run? I have been feeling very guilty about not letting them out of the run (one squawks to be let out) but it is much bigger than this and for only 3 birds, so am I worrying about nothing?! Their run is about 4.5m long by 1.3m wide and has a section that is 2m high Thanks!

I have looked but can't see anything, was wondering if there was a thread of people's photos of their run set ups, in particular, non omlet runs and how they are attached to eglus? I have a GO arriving next week but had my run built using fencing posts and galvanised steel, along with corrugated roofing and tarps for the sides. Also made my own perches out of hand rails and a dust bath out of bricks, as could not find what I wanted. Looking for inspiration around entertainment for the inside (are perches and dust bath enough?) as well as security features and tips on keeping dry!
