    Help with possible rooster!

    My chicks are 7 weeks and 2 days old. There is one chick that has a little darker feathers and a darker comb. Im afraid he is a rooster. These two pics are the other chicks Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Yeah I moved the brooder heat lamp to the coop. It could get down to 30 at night over the next few days. Now to get the chicks used to the ramp!

    Utah!

    I just put my chicks out for their first night in the coop. I'm worried it's too cold for them. I live in Springville the low is around 40 tonight but over the next few days it could get down to 30. Should I worry or put a heat lamp in there? They have straw and its not drafty

    Do you think three 22" roosts is enough for 6 RiR's they would have to double up. Hope they all get along well enough

    Thanks! I will move the roosts. Only one screw holding them down. As for nest boxes at this point I plan on using two home depot buckets. They wedge perfectly width wise. I would put a threshold on them to hold bedding and cut an access hole in the back of them. They would be in the end...

    Anyone Else Raising RIR Chicks?

    Mine may think I am a hawk because I reach in the brooder from the top. I will start reaching in from the side haha. Hopefully they will calm down and trust me more if I do that.

We have held them two days in a row now for about ten minutes each. They fall asleep in our hands. They seam to really enjoy being held so I think they...

    Well I will just have to make it raccoon proof. What size of hole can a raccoon fit through I wonder? There is cement in three sides too in the fence.

    First coop! Can I get feedback?

    The best boxes will be at the left end. I don't have a picture of where they will be. I plan on placing them a safe distance from the roosts and replacing the bedding of the nest box often.

The 3 roosts are 2" b 4"s and are 12 inches apart and they are 10.5" from the bare floor. The roosts are about 22" long. There are four...

    Are raccoons going to be an issue for me? I live in eastern Springville by the canyon. I have never heard of them being around in the neighborhoods.

    First coop! Can I get feedback?

    The door to the coop will be open but the enclosure will have 1/2 inch hardware cloth and a secure door. There may be some patching required for the fences of the enclosure in the corners. We dont really have racoons around that I know of. I am debating if the enclosure will have all panels and...
