    This is a worm right?

    I already have this dewormer handy. I'll just have to figure out dosing for the little ones and add it to their food I think. Thank you!

    This is a worm right?

    If this is indeed a roundworm and I have to treat, can my 6 year old hens and 13 week old pullets both be treated? Thank you!

    Yes, that was my worry with letting them sleep outside. I want them to know the coop is home base

    Here they are on their first night. Theyre in the cat carrier with bedding and a very light fan for the night. They're on top of the nest boxes way on the left. The resident hens are higher up on the right

    They only have the carrier in their own private space for now. They'll free range together and should have enough space to escape otherwise and hide otherwise That seems to be in line with our approach. We took the door off of the carrier to make things easier, the cardboard makes sense for...

    Thank you, the run is predator proof. If they sleep in the run would they eventually move That sounds reasonable. We have about 12 feet of linear roost space for 4 hens

    Thank you, apologies if my post was unclear. How long do you think they should they sleep crated if theyre only 11 weeks?

    11 week old pullets

    Thank you, we definitely designed the coop with square footage minimums in mind. We can only have 4 birds at a time, so now that 2 have passed, we are replenishing the flock. My main question isnt about whether they will fit, but whether we should leave the in a dog crate either inside or...

    I dont really remember, we built it 6 years ago when we got our first 4 chickens. We've had two barred rocks and 2 red stars comfortably living in it since 2019. My concern isnt about coop size
