Just an update. I did add some fun things in the run such as logs and varing perches/hiding spots but ultimately we decided to add an open air run under tree coverage for them! Thank you for all the advice, you can see my three new chicks in the run area and my big girls haven't even bothered...
We have 11 total counting the 3 new chicks. They free range occasionally but unfortunately my one dog has a high prey drive so mostly they stay in their run. Thanks for the example! I will definitely be adding more to the run for fun, we are planning to extend the run another length because they...
Okay!! Great ideas, thank you. I will be on the lookout for some clutter (im sure I can find things around my own house LOL) I will get on that this week!

Okay awesome, thank you! That is what I am thinking of doing (something more permanent with metal posts) but same concept! Glad to hear it worked out for you guys!

Hello! I got 4 straight run Bluebell Eggers from tractor supply. I know they are way too young to sex BUT does anyone have pictures of what their grown roosters look like so I know what to compare them too? I am nervous I got all roosters lol hoping for some hens! There is not much info or...
I recently got my first set of chicks to raise. I have 6 females right now that are about a week old. I wanted to add a baby rooster to my flock so I can handle him early on. Someone is giving away a 4 week old rooster that I wanted to get. My question is can this rooster be in the same brooder...
