    When to let new pullet roost at night with older hen

    Very dry heat here, but that is a good thing to keep in mind. During the summer the temps during the day are usually high 90s up to 110, lows are usually in the 70s. In the winter the highs are generally in the 50s with lows in the 30s to 40s.

    Thank you, I bet at some point they will be together in there. Right now the pullet had been wanting to sleep on top of the dog house.

    Since that picture has been taken I have added an extra door to the right of the original opening and have vents on the side. The entire run is predator proof and closed at night, but the "coop" dog house remains open.

    I have vents cut out on all sides and an extra door that has been added to the front, I also put in a small home made ice chest A/C with a fan at night.

    That's a good idea, thanks! She might just find another place to sleep in the run, but hopefully she will roost with the other one eventually. It is HOT here right now, so she would be comfortable sleeping in the run temperature wise Quote Reply

    Sadly we lost two of our other chickens, so our barred rock was on her own for a about 3 months. The pullet is fairly large, but the barred rock is not fully accepting of her yet. They free range the back yard almost all day, we have an enclosed 10x 5 run with a large dog houset that has a 2x4...
