I have 4 chickens between 12-15 weeks old who still don't roost at night. They go into their coop and huddle (more or less depending on the temperature that night) in the corner on the floor of the coop. They do that on their own around sundown, no coaxing or herding necessary. During the day...

I was looking at Brisnea's webpage and noticed that they have a Scratch & Dents section where they sell items at a discount with this description: New but esthetically substandard product.

I'm finishing up the coop. I'm hoping to be done by the end of this week because I think I'll be able to get some coop ready chickens then. I was originally planning on getting 4 Orpingtons, but my sister convinced me that the Easter Eggers are fun for the kids. Would it be a bad idea to get 3...
