That’s a male ISA if I’m not mistaken

I think the brown one is your only rooster

Depending on where you are, I think the heat makes their combs bigger and more red, sooner

Yep. 10weeks to adult. She’s on the left in the older picture

Ellie:love My BOs are Stacy, Betty, and Randi(thought it was a boy, is a hen, changed it from a y to an i)

She loves them:love

Chicks are here! Now I wait until tonight to sneak them under broody girl

Broody girl is now in her new pen. Chicks hatch today or tomorrow and then I’ll go get them!

BR pullets wouldn’t be that light. So, cockerels

Have you done any research on this subject? This surgery is NOTHING like spaying or neutering a dog or cat. That is relatively low risk and simple. This surgery is much more complicated as a rooster’s testicles are extremely close to his other organs. All the other operations you listed involve...

You have to realize that doing this has a HIGH risk of killing him. Is it worth the risk?

Pullet

It is 4’x4’. I plan on having 3 birds in there, so the other roost is optional, just wanted to make sure they have options. I love the way your roof is on the grow out pen. The side view is showing that, in an over-simplified way of saying it, you have a piece of wood with 2x4s screwed into it...

I’ve bribed my closest ones with eggs and the HOA people that enforce rules live at the other side of the neighborhood. Plus, I’m not the only one. 3-4 of my neighbors are confirmed secret chicken keepers.

Current setup

So this is what my plans are. Right now I have. 5’x7’ open air coop with premier 1 fencing as a run. What I will be starting next week is using lattice and hw cloth to fence in a run where the red line is. The blue line is a brick wall. My current(bigger) coop will be put where the green mess is...

Yes. It comes from the NW the most but the way my yard(I live in a heavily populated neighborhood) is set up I have to keep it facing north so that It’s hidden from the street. Chickens are against my HOA’s rules:oops:

This is just what I needed, thank you!!!:bow

Haha, that’s why I’m trying to get this coop done again! I’m getting chicks on June 3rd and I need the room. I doubt I’d have to cover it in the winter, it rarely gets below 20. But I will have to really extend the roof because it feels like it’s constantly raining

I’m going to have it hang out over the edge of the main frame about a foot. You’re right, we haven’t gotten any snow over 3 inches in like ten years, hasn’t snowed at all for two. It is 4’x4’.
