Do you add diatomaceous earth to the layer for them to bath in and in the nesting boxes? How do I clean out the coop exactly? Just put in fresh covering and get all random stuff out? Our 6 month old Rhode Island Reds aren’t laying yet still and I just realized that it’s because they have the fowl pox. I think some are already molting too and we have had 2 bob cat attacks that took 2 chickens.

That is hard! I didn’t worry too much about runs and really focused on keeping the coop clean. You can always lay down a top layer on top of the dirt, but they will just scratch it up anyway. Perhaps muck it out? You can only do your best, you know? -Kelly

My poor babies. How can I clean runs if scabs are in dirt? I’m trying to keep up coops more. Colder weather means inside more.]]> So glad I found this site! I have my first outbreak of fowl pox!😪. I’m learning what to do. I just got thru molting season. My poor babies. How can I clean runs if scabs are in dirt? I’m trying to keep up coops more. Colder weather means inside more.

My hen had a pox on her eye lid and has scratched the eye so bad that it is now shut. When she opens the eye it almost looks sunken in. She is super lethargic today. I am worried. I made her some scrambled eggs this morning and put terramycin in the eye last night. What else can I do? Thank you.

The Chicken Chick lists these on her blog.
Also, chickens have “wattles,” while ducks waddle. Just trying to be informative, not rude. It’s important to use correct anatomy terms when explaining care of animals to beginners.
