i put my 6 new chicks in the new coop this week as well. i sectioned it off and let my 2 older birds in there with them. the older girl used the new egg boxes like a champ and both were roosting on the new bars.

That's great, I hope you have some girls though! I'm so ready for my big girls and boys to be outside myself! It MIGHT happen by Wed next week when they'll be 7 weeks old already. We were going to be done this Wed. but the weather was not cooperating so we could glue the linoleum down

Looking at them today.. I think some may be girls. It's so hard to tell. With barred rocks they say stuff about the head spot, and the leg color, feather color and ofcourse combs to show boys/girls.... but none of that lines up on mine. They ALL have dark legs, and all their head spots are big and blurry... but some have darker feathering with less white and some have clear white stripes. We'll see, they have to get bigger either way!

All of my Barred Rocks are 'supposed' to be pullets but I've never read any of those rules before. One of the 4 girls from TSC's mixed pullet bin (remember the one that was all Barred Rocks) didn't have a white dot on her head it was more of a few spread out white hairs. My two older BR's from Ideal are sort of easy to tell apart, Oreo has slightly larger white chunks and only a black stripe across her beak. The other, Pepper, is a darker black with smaller white spots and her whole beak tip is black.
