    That is a GREAT idea! I'm going to take him out first thing in the morning and switch the chicks to the crate...now, they'll be able to see each other. Should I get a hen or two that is closer to the roosters age to go ahead and put in with him since the chicks are too young?

    The chicks are one week old. We have 4; 1 Black Austrolorp, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Americauna, 1 Partridge Rock. The people we got everything from had the Rooster in a hamster size cage so when asked, they said the dog crate would be great because he couldn't be near the chicks. So they need to see...

    The rooster is currently in a dog crate that we have in the chicken coop and the chicks (all pullets) are in a brooder that is also in the coop. They are not mingling right now. If I took the brooder out, could I go ahead and let the rooster roam the coop and pen?

    Hey, so my husband and I just bought a rooster who is about 3 1/2 months old. He is in the coop but in a dog crate and we have 4 week old baby chicks in a brooder in the coop. When can I let everybody out? The coop is attached to a large fenced in area and that's where they will be kept.
