    Gorgeous Araucana (Easter Egger?) Rooster - Free to any in MN

    Aargh! It's been too long since I did housebreaking on a pup, and I've NEVER done it in the winter! Any advice? The little one is 9 weeks old, and a boxer mix, so he has really thin hair, was pretty malnourished, and HATES the cold. I broke down and bought him one of those little dog coats...

I think I got the newbie sucker punch with Easter Eggers... any opinions? Also, the two darker ones are quite aggressive...

    Do I need to close my coop?

    I am raising my first brood of chicks this year, and have a summer coop (smaller, but very well ventilated) attached to a winter coop (much bigger, in a solid shed structure that is insulated for the Minnesota winters).
