Good morning and Happy Sabbath, everyone! I pray you all had a smooth week, whether you were tending your flocks, dealing with spring weather surprises, or just trying to keep up with your busy birds! Wherever you are, I hope you get a moment to rest today and step outside to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine with your flock. 🌿🐓 If you have any specific prayer requests, drop them in the comments below. Unspoken requests are welcome too, because God knows what they are. 🙏 Sabbath Skool Animal Trivia continues! Each Sabbath, I post a question about an animal mentioned in the Bible. I’ll point you in the right direction and you’ll have all day to answer. This Week’s Question: I don’t know what the weather looked like where you are, but we had some wild weather this week, so this Sabbath’s question comes straight from the flood story! What animal is sent out of the ark first? Hint: Start in chapter 6 of Genesis. Fun Extra: After naming the animal, share a fun trivia fact about it! 😊​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have a small flock with only 5 Isa Browns. Can you show me what sort of environmental enrichment you provide?

Hi everyone! I'm Dr. Nisana, and I'm thrilled to launch this community dedicated to helping you raise healthier, happier backyard flocks. A bit about me: I'm a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine specializing in avian and poultry health through my practice, Covenantal Wings Veterinary Services. My background includes working in commercial poultry, and now I focus on bringing that professional veterinary expertise to backyard poultry keepers like you. I live on an 80-acre homestead in Oklahoma with my husband and daughter. What to expect here: I created The Healthy Coop Collective because I saw too many backyard keepers struggling with conflicting information online and limited access to poultry-savvy veterinarians. This community bridges that gap. Here's what's coming: ✅ Daily Engagement - Tips, discussions, case studies, and community support to keep your knowledge growing ✅ In the Premium plan: Weekly Educational Resources - In-depth guides, protocols, and tools on disease prevention, nutrition, biosecurity, and wellness management ✅ In the VIP plan: One Private 1-on-1 Veterinary Video Consultation Per Month - Personalized flock health guidance from me directly This is a space for learning, asking questions without judgment, and building confidence in your ability to care for your birds. Whether you're brand new to poultry or have years of experience, you belong here. Let's get started! Drop a comment below and tell me: - What type of poultry do you keep? - What's your biggest flock health challenge right now? - What topics do you most want to learn about? I can't wait to get to know you and your flocks. Here's to healthier coops and thriving birds! 🌿 —Dr. Nisana
