All great ideas. Perhaps instead of wood I can use screen. I read they like dark cozy spaces that's why I thought wood. Also, the screen would cut back on the shavings coming out. There are two sets of doors, a set of two on the top level and the same on the bottom. The divider has to work with...
Thank you. The bars will be closed on 3 sides and the top with boards. The front doors will have screen or mesh on them. No heads stuck or predator problems. I can raise the floor up if 24 inches is too much space. The coops on line look like tiny dresser drawers. My coop would be nicer, in my...

We all have our opinions based on the knowledge we acquired after our own experiences. I have posted on here asking male or female. 90% of the guesses were incorrect. I read all opinions and even though i may disagree, I try to learn from them.
It is not the size of the comb but the color of the comb that will helpnyou guess. A male will usually have a very bright red comb at 8 weeks. I don't see a male comb in the photos, yet.
EE most commonly have pea combs, but as you already know, it's not always the case. My guess is it has SLW parentage hence the rose comb. The comb is what makes some think it's a Cockerel. If the comb turns red before 15 weeks, then the chances are Bob is a boy.
