Thank you everybody for you input. Karens Q's: I am not building to sell and I have had max 16 birds in the space( all bantams). aart Q's: Yes it can be moved. The runs detach and fit on a regular size trailer, the coop has a floor, and I'm selling it because I need to downsize my flock. The...

Thank you for the suggestions but if I had checked earlier I would have tried but they are at a new home now. My friend knows somebody that has a family farm and I brought them to them today. Thank you though.

Thank everybody for your info. To clarify a couple things i got all EE chicks, they all don't have combs yet, and the lump on its chest was huge. Around goofball size and watery until we put them outside and that's when is slowly started to get harder and harder.

So I ordered 7 Easter egger chicks from MPC in early April. My order was 6 hens and one roo. They are now around 7 weeks old and no sign of a rooster. I really want another roo especially an EE. I have had a large fowl rooster and he had sign of being a roo at around 3 weeks. I'm curious if EE...
