chick charm .thank you so much for the info. i followed your advice and made a roost for the coop area that is 15 cm high and 1,2 meters long (i had a roost in their run area ) i varnished and polished the roost last night and i will place it in the coop this morning when the rain stops(hope the varnish has dried out by now.) cant wait to get my new feathered friends but i need another month or so untill hens start incubating . it was really hard for me to find gold brahmas in greece (everyone seems to prefare the white ones) ,i coud get white brahmas for free from a friend but my heart is set on the gold ones. i managed to find a wild animal farm 300 km away from where i live that has gold brahmas and they will send me young chicks by courier when their hens have young they cost around 30-35 euros for each bird
