    Bachelor's Pad questions

    No. We just recently found out that the babies were roos. We are fine at letting the Littles grow a bit more but ideally, we plan on moving them in to their own bachelor enclosure.

    Bachelor's Pad questions

    I am planning to make a coop and bachelor run for three roosters. The year old, Lil Peep, will be taken out of the run he has had with the hens.

    Is 9wk old Lil Peep a Roo and what type of chicken is he/her?

    What do you think about him being a black copper maran? He has the coloring, feathered feet, and he is getting some time bits of copper on the back of his neck and hackles.

    Is 9wk old Lil Peep a Roo and what type of chicken is he/her?

    I plan on upgrading them to a nice greenhouse in my back yard. We have an acre. I want to take my time to make it perfect against predators. How long do you think I have? The kennel is 6x10. I have a dirt bath area, roots, vegi treat bag...

    He has had the very bright long white feathers under and near the end of each wing, since I have had him.
