I hear ya. I wouldn’t dream to add more in that space at all, I was just joking based on the “recommended” space of 2-3 square feet per chicken.😋

Good advice, thank you! I am still working on adding objects to the run but currently have several branches for them to perch on as well as a ladder, and they are able to get under the coop porch. I have attached a few photos- we definitely plan to build some hiding places, my wheels have been...

Hi! It's an 8x12 shed that we converted into a coop. They are 7 months old. The roosters were unintentional; I had ordered all hens and received a couple roosters...the beta rooster was originally mistaken as a female because he was a late developer, haha! At this point I just want to raise...

I definitely don't want to rehome him (I'd prefer to rehome the alpha honestly), so the solution will probably be to just build him his own space and add our docile hens in there with him. Do you think they could all still roost in the same coop together though?

If you ever need photos of buff cochins, buff laced polish, rose comb brown leghorns, or white wyandottes, I have plenty of those! :-)

Thanks! I'm not planning to keep him alone but I am wondering if the alpha will let him roost in the same coop at the end of the day. I just want the beta to have some run space too, and he currently isn't allowed to have that by our alpha. They also grew up together but just don't enjoy hanging...

Hi everyone! I have two roosters - an alpha and a beta, in addition to 11 hens. Currently my beta is shunned to the chicken coop and doesn't confidently come out to the run unless my husband or I are out there with him. We want to give him his own run space and to forage, and potentially add a...

Bananas! 😂 But they absolutely love blueberries. It’s the first thing that goes.

Will try that! Thank you for your advice.

Also, I failed to mention, he does roost with everyone at the end of the night, and is located with some of the females (not off by himself). He's definitely beneath our wyandottes and other rose comb brown leghorn females, but above our buff cochin and buff laced polish girls.

Do you think creating his own space will work?

Really? Why do you say that? He doesn't seem to have health issues (maybe stress?), just waaaay more docile. I figured it was more of a breed issue. I really don't want to get rid of him, especially with his temperament, that's why I'm thinking of building him his own bachelor pad ;-)

I'm glad you were able to rehome him!

How much space do you have? Maybe I need to increase the run size, but it's a good space I feel, about 10'x30'...

Is it best to completely remove him from the space or keep him separate in a kennel but with everyone?

Aww that's so sad, I'm sorry that happened. I love the breed so much; they are super sweet!

Very true! I noticed this beginning about late last month when all of the hens started laying. I have 11 hens (was supposed to have all hens but that didn't work out, haha)! I don't think it's a way to live either which is why I am working on figuring out how I can give Ezra his own space. He...

Your chickens eat better than you do! ;-)

They are so precious! How old are they?
