    Rooster comb turning black

    Anyone know why this is happening. It’s not a sudden occurrence. It’s been happening over time maybe like a few months. We live in south Texas so it’s not very cold here even during the winter. He will be one years old in a couple months.

    18w old chickens don’t roost? Will they ever?

    Wide side flat is better for them?? Thank you so much for this! I’m not a builder by any means but I can do this, the sketch does make sense! They would like it better with the wife side flat?? I read somewhere they like it smaller then there feet so they can grip it?

    18w old chickens don’t roost? Will they ever?

    We introduced them to there forever coop about 2 weeks ago. They have about 30ft of roosting space for 20 hens and 6 roosters, we think, maybe less roosters. But at least 4 roosters. Anyways, the roosts are about 4ft off the ground, all the same level, and they have a ladder. I’ll post a pic...

    Hello! So I have 26 chickens, all 10 weeks, one I know for sure is a rooster, looks like it, acts like it. But I have 2 others in question. What do y’all think? They have red combs and wattles when the other pullets do not. Third pic for reference, that’s how all my other girls look.
