Well I have the 2 coops for now til they are fully integrated then ima move the small coop out of the run to help open it up more for space. Just wasn’t sure if I should let them be together full time or wait longer. Yes I do know they need to work it out and will be some scuffles. This is my...

Hi I have 5 new chicks all are about 9-10 weeks now I have had them in a pen next to my 9 ( now 7) year old hens since they was 5 weeks old. I have let them be together during the day for a few hours while supervised but keep separated at night. I have 4 hens from my first flock that will peck...

It’s already built. I’m wanting to move the small one out after babies are integrated into the flock so they have that much extra room. The small coop is what the og girls used and was definitely to small.

Hot I’m in southern AZ

I’m sure the 5 I’m adding 4 will be roosters that’s my luck. First go around I got 26 chicks and 8 was hens

It is I have all bantams and 1 buff

It’s big enough I have all bantams and one buff.

I’m keeping it but was going to place it out of the run. I already have more chickens than I’m supposed to. So I wont be able to have any more til I get land.

It’s 8 feet long and 5 feet wide without nesting boxes added into that and 2 feet off the ground so they can go under it. This is in the bigger half of the...

The one that was more round was crowing I already got rid of them both.

Tried to get a few pictures is this a hen or a roo?

I’ll be bringing in regular dirt to fill in as needed. I will be putting up a tarp on one side to help provide shade for them and a small tub with a brick to help keep cool as well as doing ice molds with veggies in it for them this summer. I have yet to notice any odor but he set up a fly trap...

We can get cold enough to frost plants and kill them. It’s just dirt I rake it 3 times a week to help keep it clean. I wouldn’t say it’s a low spot per say like the side of my yard on the other side.

Oh no no i understand. I guess I worry more when we do get the storms or winter when it’s gets cold. Like right now it’s raining and I don’t think they would have woken up to go in. Plus my backyard tends to flood not so much in the area they are at but they have worked the ground down a bit. I...

My husband is the one that got it and idk where it is from just that it was $600 alone. I know we do get up to 120 sometimes and I should have a total of 9 hens when the Roos are gone. I do appreciate your advice.
