Re: Worming - Help Needed

I have just wormed mine as well, 1 scoop to 2kg as directed they are fine. BUT ! I am finding they are reluctant to leave the nest box after laying, if I push the two that are in there off, they do not come back inside . Methinks they are trying to be broody with not much enthusiasm , maybe yours ar...

Re: There's nothing I can do.

Our local paper took to the streets with pictures of the 2 MEP candidates for our area, not a single person interviewed knew who these people were when shown their photographs.

Re: Will this coop be OK?

I agree with Red Angel , would not the Ark version be better, at least you might be able to add a perch in the run area on that model, mine love hopping up and down plus it gives them exercise, I know you said they will be free range but sometimes its not always practical to do that all the time.
