Are these girls ready to go to the coop?

[Jkioneil]

We have four pullets that I think are ready to move out of the brooder and to the coop. but they still are pretty young and so I wanted to get some more opinions. We live in Oregon and it is wet, cold, warm, hot ,dry depending on the day and it may do all of the above in a single afternoon. Yesterday was 80 degrees today is 60 and it is raining. over night in the 50s? What do you think Are they ready?

How old are they .. ? It sounds like it and they are getting nice feathers

 

[CorinneP]

From the Pics I would say yes based on your weather .

 

[Jkioneil]

They are about 5 weeks

If In doubt can you add a light .. but I think they are ready they look Hearty and feathered but thats just my oppinion .

So Here is the coop!

Just a few final touches and we are good to go! We insulated and used hardwire mesh on all openings including the floor. so critter safe! Made special locks on the front and back door put roosts up and attached the run to the coop. Made a hanger for food and water. all we need is a small portion covered in the run and we are done. What do ya'll think?
