Thank you for responding. When we decided to place then outside we didn't want then to get to cold so we put a great lamp in and we just hadn't taken it out yet. As far as the nesting boxes we will not have babies. We are not allowed to have a Roo. So I will never have to worry about babies...

Here is a pic of the roost

I can't get in my coop all the way so I haven't tried to put her on. They've been roosting fine for months so I'm not sure. I have two roosts so I believe there is plenty of room.

Well I've read that it's best to break them and not let them ride it out. I guess I just have bite the bullet and use a broody breaker. Is was hoping I wouldn't ever have to.

So it's probably better to take care of the broody chicken right away then huh? As far as the chicken that's not roosting I just rechecked her and there are no signs of injury. Her comb is red and she's eating and running around doing her chicken things.I'm not sure what to do with her.

We have Buffs, they are only 3 days old but just want to prepare ourselves. What type of chicks do you have? How long do you consider them"chicks"? Thanks for your reply as we are very new to having these babies

Help! My husband and I are trying to decide weather to make a portable run, or let out chicks run free with a 4ft fence? We are worried they will jump the fence if we let them roam free. We obviously can't stay outside with them 24/7, but I Don't like leaving them "locked" up all day. Or is...

I was also wondering the same thing! We just got 5 baby Buffs yesterday and I was wondering how often I should clean the brooder. We are using a large tote with shavings on top of newspapers. It seems like once a week will do:jumpy
