One of our ducks had an injured foot that took two months to heal.
In the past few years 3D printing technolgy has been used to give a prosthectic leg to a rooster and a duck.
The surgery costs 2500 dollars, which is a little out of our league. Maybe the cost will go down when home 3D printers get better and cheaper.

The Sidell family wins our Ramshackled Coop contest.
They’ve since upgraded to a nicer coop made from an old out building.
The prize is an EZ Miser kit that makes it easy to convert almost any container into a side mounted chicken waterer.
These PVC chicken feeders are a good way to store a whole bag of feed.
If you have an issue with rodents stealing the food at night put a cap on the entrance while the chickens are sleeping.
What would be nice is a motorized lid that would open back up at sunrise.
