They have a run and also will free range the new chickens and rooster with the others once they are settled more.

I got a new rooster and chickens yesterday. They sleep with the 3 older chickens and older rooster but this morning they got out accidentally together and. The rooster fought until the older one ran away and the rooster and one chicken ganged up on the younger chickens. All are settled seperate...

Hi, I am in South West Vic a small rural area in land. Are you near Warrnambool?

Hi, my incubator arrived today and I currently have it on and trying to remember how to calibrate, etc. I have three thermometers in it including the one it came with and not sure which one to trust. Do the mercury ones every become inaccurate? If not I will trust that one wholly. I cannot get...

Not really, we don't get the sea breeze but we rarely have hot days and those days we do, I let them out and also make sure they have ice cubes with fruit in it or cold fruit like watermelon. Hot days are rare here

What I mean is it will be enclosed as in we will add a run but leave the coop as is to keep out predators

And here is the perch, it is 140cm x about 20 - 25 cm. Excuse the mess, it needs a clean before use :oops:

Here is the link to pics I posted previously. It is much the same, except I have an extra perch which I will either find the picture of it or take another picture when I get home. DIY Thread - Let's see your "Inventions".

Hi, I have an enclosure that is roughly 2.6m by 1.1m with one roost that is 140cm and I also have a ladder that leads up to the perch. I also have three boxes that are 30cm (app 12") wide x 30cm (app 12") deep x 25cm high (app 10"). How many chickens can I keep in this if build a run for them...

Seems a little late for me to change my mind now though:idunno Will have to hope for the best now :fl

Hi, I am not necessarily new here, been MIA since 2014 :th I have since lost all my flock as they refused to go in there coop and they know roam free on another property :confused: They are basically wild birds now and I see them occassionally but were never very tame. I have ordered this...
