    When should I put my chicks/pullets in with my older flock?

    I have 3 chicks that are basically pullets now because they are about 4 or 5 weeks old. Currently they are housed in a tote bin in my garage.

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Yes, we can get a lot of snow, and it can get really cold, though it depends on the winter. The roost and the coop area both vent under the roof in addition to the side vents & windows.

    Roost addition conundrum

    Thanks for the info! There isn't a roost in the big coop, it's more like a small enclosed run with deep litter so I don't want them sleeping in there too much poop under the roost. They currently roost in the small structure you see on the left side. It's a little different setup than I've seen...
