She has multiple MULTIPLE areas to go including her wide open coop where her sisters are, but no she’s going to stand here mad as hell that it’s raining and I won’t let her in

At the vet today with our baby pig and overheard that someone with a stray pregnant cat was going to take her to the humane society as she was unable to take her. We couldn’t let that happen so agreed to take her home ourselves. How would she do being with the chickens in the barn and run? It’s very large, but would she get to hot? We already have 4 cats inside and don’t want another inside. Thanks
We will let her have her babies inside first, and after a couple months once her babies go to a forever home, then we will move her to the barn

My chickens aren't laying quite yet but they have started laying and pooping in their nesting boxes.... Will they stop this when it's time to lay or how do I correct this?

I have a potential problem and was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this before, or knows any solutions…. I have 9 birds, they were born March 10. Started laying like 2 weeks ago. I’ve been gradually getting more and more eggs as each day passes. Most I ever got was 7 eggs. However, one or maybe two birds may be sick, or have a calcium deficiency? (Or whatever you guys think might be wrong!)
Usually I find one egg that’s shell-less and smashed on the floor of the coop every day. Once I found an egg that looked good, but had yolk all over the outside of it. The other day, a brown bird squatted in the yard and laid an egg that was totally gelatinous. Today I watched a white bird squat and lay an egg with no shell. She then immediately pecked it, broke it and ate the entire thing. The good eggs are always intact and never broken by them. I’m worried about the daily bad eggs and wondering if I need to up their calcium or give something extra. Has anyone dealt with daily eggs that are defective in some way? And have you been able to help your girls?! Im new to chickens this year, and ive POURED over all the info on the FB chicken groups, and The Chicken Chick’s website. Any animal I get- I vow to give it the best life possible. I have pre bought every single medicine necessary for them, after reading everyones horror stories on these pages 😂 Thanks for reading my long post!! ❤️
I also want to add that I clean the run and coop usually twice a day, so they are in a very clean environment!
The pic below is the girls eating corn for the first time. And they’re all staring at it like it’s going to kill them 🤣

I just picked up two pullets to add to my flock. They were so stinky, I decided to give them a bath. That’s when discovered they have fleas 😱😱😱
I CAREFULLY put diatomaceous earth up under their feathers. How long with it take to get rid of them using this method? I also have ivermectin on hand but not sure if that treats fleas. I also saw some tiny yellowish things on their skin a wondering if those are the eggs?

Has anyone had complete shenanigans when it comes to their broody chickens hatching eggs? So, Agatha Crispy stole everyone's eggs out of their nesting boxes then hatched them. Raised them until mostly feathered but started abandoning them. They took up under my broody chicken Meatloaf. Meatloaf has completely abandoned the nest she was sitting on for the baby chicks and Derek (yes it's a she, she just looks like someone named Derek, idk) immediately went broody to sit on the remaining eggs. 😅
Picture is Agatha Crispy with the chicks 20 feet up in a tree right before she decided she was done being a mother.

What do you guys and gals recommend to close this up? It is an opening to the inside. I was figuring on the inside hardware cloth with mesh to keep bugs out. But possibly boarding it up like a houses overhang is. Pics would help me plan better please!

Long story short. Got new babies. When they were ready to go into the coop Old hens killed one and almost killed another. Hubs obviously with my distress built me another coop. Babies just learned how to go in at night after a few days of throwing them in.
I’m so proud of them.
Now i have 2 coops lol 😂

Cleaning never stops! But its a great workout!

Hmmm what predator can claw/ chew through hardware cloth? Only 1 month in🤦‍♀️ they basically unzipped it! Tore off pieces. Thankfully this is more their "run" area and the inner coop was secure.
