    Roosters not letting hens into the run?

    Well, the extra roosters tend to just sit in the coop on the roost as well with the hens. But getting rid of them will then cause the rooster to accept the hens and not chase them back inside? Are you saying the hens are all the other roosters girls? How can that be with the one rooster being...

    What gender is this chicken?

    Ah, just wondering, why does it have much smaller legs and feet than the others, and hasnt developed the same long, curving tail feathers the other birds have? I acquired them all at the same time.

    8x8 coop good for chickens?

    I have planned to make the nesting boxes on the outside of the coop, so i can lift a flap and harvest eggs. It wont cut into the interior size of the coop. So hopefully i dont run out of too much space, with two hanging feeders/waterers.

    8x8 coop good for chickens?

    I was wondering if an 8x8 foot coop be good enough for 13 chickens? orphingtons/australorps/dominiques. I will be building them a small run as well as letting them free range from time to time so they will only really be in the coop at night or when its severe weather outside.
