Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. I agree as well, just watch severe picking.

Thanks for all the welcomes and replies. Sorry for the delayed response. Turns out the "hen", and 4 others from the straight run we got are roosters. Aside from the one rooster we knew we had and the only two hens to come out of the group, the other roosters are hit or miss for using the coop at night. They mostly roost in a specific tree. I've pushed them into the coop a few times for a day or two to try to have them readjust to the coop but they still only sometimes use the coop.

We're trying to re-home 4 of the roosters to try to reduce the testosterone and get a few more hens. We got the group of them specifically for eggs. Pulled our first whole egg out of the coop today actually.
