🤣 that's awesome. First crows are one of my favorite sounds next to the 'dinner bell'.

I would cull him (not re-home), he's gonna hurt you or a family member. I would suggest to just keep looking for a good roo and add more hens, or get day olds with a male and raise him up letting the older girls train him how to act accordingly. Edit....are you looking for a specific breed of...

Perfectly normal.. he hasn't matured yet to take over the flock. Let them older girls teach him manners and how to treat them right.

I'm surrounded by crop fields on 3 sides and this year is corn. Here soon I'll have to keep the traps set everyday when the corn gets tall enough they can move during the day. Need more fencing...🥴

Cuteness overload ♥️...congrats and hopefully the shipped eggs and all the rest hatch for you. How many eggs left to hatch?

Same here in Michigan.. but I can talk about it because it's legal to dispatch. 🙂👍

HA !! I nailed the breed just by a description of the sound. I'm like a new rare chicken whisperer type...🤣 Ummm no...just lucky. Every once in a while a squirrel finds a nut. 👍

Good job on reinforcing the pop door. 👍 Have you considered setting live traps for the unwanted visitors? Checking your local laws for dispatch/re-home rules of course.

7' vertical is quite the feat for such a little one. Future escape artist...🤣

Chicken TV...when you can't be there to watch it LIVE. 🤣

What breed is she? I ask because my Black Australorps make unusual noises, like a raspy, or throaty "merrr". And I've read it's a trait of the breed. Hard to describe the sound but funny everytime I hear it...🙂

Adding 2-3 hens to your flock would definitely help as @WoDia suggested. She won't be lowest in pecking order, and redirects their attention to the new arrivals. If you have the space of course for additions.

What a show this would be...

Black Copper Marans

I would add more shade for them in the run. You mentioned shade in the am and pm, but mid day is when it's normally hottest out there in the sun.

I would 1/2" HC behind both of those window plastic panels first.. then add more venting as high up as possible on both sides.

And a pic of that incubator... Don't pitch that just yet, @z3lda3 . You may need it for Marans eggs. 🙂

Makes dubbing seem more logical, besides not getting big comb breeds.

Yeah, that makes it more difficult. Does the new coop have a run you could coax them into? At this point, if you could get them into the new run or coop all at once no matter what time it is. Lock them in, and keep them locked in for a couple few days to 'home' them to new coop.
