Increase the slant of the top or move nest boxes to under your poop boards if you have them. A pic of your setup might help here further.

3 broodys... 2 just hatched 5 each out 9 eggs per hen that are 2 wks old tomorrow. I shipped in 12 eggs for 3rd broody, gave her 6 and incubating 6 due to hatch tomorrow. I'm going to try slipping the incubator chicks under her after hatch. Welcome to my world...🥴🤣

Your going to be under square footage with 6 x 7 = 42 and 12 birds x 4 SQ/= 48. I realize these are just guidelines.... the more important fact is most dimensional lumber comes 8-10-12-16 lengths. I'd suggest going 6 x 8 = 48. So you don't have a foot of waste with every 7' you cut. And if you...

Sounds like you and your little ones are going to reel him in with cuteness... 🤣 What other breeds do you have?

Keep posting pics of him. We would love to watch him grow along with ya !! 🙂

Every breed has the potential to have aggressive or docile males. It's more the individual birds temperament in each breed, and we try to weed out the aggressive by selection as @FrostRanger pointed out. Don't know your area, but if your in the states you could talk to your local feed store...

🤣 that's awesome. First crows are one of my favorite sounds next to the 'dinner bell'.

I would cull him (not re-home), he's gonna hurt you or a family member. I would suggest to just keep looking for a good roo and add more hens, or get day olds with a male and raise him up letting the older girls train him how to act accordingly. Edit....are you looking for a specific breed of...

Perfectly normal.. he hasn't matured yet to take over the flock. Let them older girls teach him manners and how to treat them right.

I'm surrounded by crop fields on 3 sides and this year is corn. Here soon I'll have to keep the traps set everyday when the corn gets tall enough they can move during the day. Need more fencing...🥴

Cuteness overload ♥️...congrats and hopefully the shipped eggs and all the rest hatch for you. How many eggs left to hatch?

Same here in Michigan.. but I can talk about it because it's legal to dispatch. 🙂👍

HA !! I nailed the breed just by a description of the sound. I'm like a new rare chicken whisperer type...🤣 Ummm no...just lucky. Every once in a while a squirrel finds a nut. 👍

Good job on reinforcing the pop door. 👍 Have you considered setting live traps for the unwanted visitors? Checking your local laws for dispatch/re-home rules of course.

7' vertical is quite the feat for such a little one. Future escape artist...🤣

Chicken TV...when you can't be there to watch it LIVE. 🤣

What breed is she? I ask because my Black Australorps make unusual noises, like a raspy, or throaty "merrr". And I've read it's a trait of the breed. Hard to describe the sound but funny everytime I hear it...🙂

Adding 2-3 hens to your flock would definitely help as @WoDia suggested. She won't be lowest in pecking order, and redirects their attention to the new arrivals. If you have the space of course for additions.

What a show this would be...
